Dwarf, Brown
Brown dwarves are solitary creatures; brown
dwarven communities do not exist. Instead, each
brown dwarf leaves their mother when they reach
young adulthood, seeking a human family of peasants
or serfs. The brown dwarf will hide and sleep
during the day, and emerge at night. During the
night, brown dwarves perform tasks for their human
family. Brown dwarves are well-known for stealing
human babies, as well as playing tricks on their
human family. Brown dwarves dance during moonlight.
If a brown dwarf likes their human family,
then the brown dwarf will leave presents and protect
them. However, if a brown dwarf dislikes their
human family, then the brown dwarf will cause
trouble and bad dreams. It is rumored that their
race was born as a result of a sorcerous experiment
with humans. For this reason, brown dwarves have
an obsessive love/hate relationship with human families.
The preferred weapons of brown dwarves
are axes and hammers. Dwarves love armor of all
kinds, as long as it is made from metal.
