| - | Most dwarves average around three to three and a half (3-3 1/2) feet tall. They have broad shoulders, a thick waist, stocky legs, and slightly overly large arms. Their skin tones typically range from a light nutty brown to a rich earthen brown, while a completely pitch black not impossible. Both their eye and hair color favors dark browns or black, with lighter hair color more common than a lighter shade of eyes. | + | Most dwarves average around four to four and a half (4-4 1/2) feet tall.

| Dwarves are a very hairy species able to grow and maintain long hair, beards, and mustaches. In addition to having a significantly hairy torso compared to other species. This applies equally to both men and women, giving rise to the legend that there are no female dwarves. This is nonsense as female dwarves as proportionally larger breasts than many humanoids; although their hips and pelvis is not as different. Even for a non-dwarf it is easy to distinguish between the sexes. | Dwarves are a very hairy species able to grow and maintain long hair, beards, and mustaches.

| ===== Community ===== | ===== Community ===== | ||
| - | A traditional dwarven community centers around the clan. Clans are joined by blood (very important) and marriage (equally as important) - divorce is considered a mortal sin. Each dwarf is the clan and the clan is the dwarves. What this means to a dwarf is that they represent their clan wherever they travel and when among the clan it his priority over the individual. | + | A traditional dwarven community centers around the a [[orgs:dwarven clan]].

| Clans that have grown very large are often further sub-divided by family unit. A dwarf named Jongar of the Stonearm clan would be named as Jongar son of Rangal of the Stonearm assuming that Rangal is the head of the family. In a hold dominated by the Stonearm clan it would be shortened to Jongar son of Rangal or Jongar Rangal. | Clans that have grown very large are often further sub-divided by family unit.
