Khazad

the Khazad, more commonly known as dwarves, are a race not originally from rathnir, but migrated relatively recently in rathnir's history, led by King Óin II.

Description
the Khazad are short and stocky peoples. they have an affinity for masonry and metallurgy, and due to this tend to dwell in subterranean settlements. Khazad are very resistant, both physically and mentally. Dwarves are more resistant to extreme temperatures than other races, as well as toxic gases such as carbon monoxide and natural gas. Despite the stereotype that dwarves are greedy, they are more resistant to corruption than most other races, whether they be corrupted by wealth or by magic. despite being only two thirds the height of men, dwarves are just as strong, if not stronger, making them very strong relatively. Khazad men tend to have long beards that are either red, brown, black, grey, or white. Although blonde dwarves exist, they are very rare.
