Kylorne Dwarves

Description
Most Kylorne Dwarves prefer less humid enclosed environments, it thrives by hills (Holt-Dwarves) or in and on mountains (Fell-Dwarves). The unique race of lakes (Vatn-Dwarves) do prefer more humid environments and usually live within forests and near bodies of water. All Kylorne Dwarves are resistant to heat and pressure and don't seem to be bothered by warmer or colder temperatures, deep or risen surfaces, though they do feel and could get hurt by extremes.

It is a common myth that Kylorne Dwarves don't believe in magic, as in society, shamans/priests do seem to possess a kind of “field of ease” by them, that many actually confirmed.

Physique
Kylorne Dwarves are considered “heavy-boned”, therefore swimming and jumping are more difficult for their bodily physique, they prefer walking, running or gliding. They are shorter than an average human and on average have a higher chance of becoming overweight. Biologically their survival is ensured by higher capacity lounges, and two-hearts instead of one, both responsible for air and fluid travel.

They are double skinned which explains a tougher layer resistant to environmental conditions. Kylorne Dwarven blood is more purplish instead of violet-red that other humanoids have.

Their brain is usually smaller then an average human and are more concentrated on material thoughts then theological/artist. Though in some cases, especially in Vatn-Dwarves it is very different. Faces are more fall-in, wide short noses, high-range of skin color, symmetrical organ-placement, higher fur/hair percentage / body proportion. Kylorne Dwarves have higher blood pressure and over 30% possess the trait of Polydactyly.

Lifestyle
Nutrition comes from origin, a usual Kylorne dwarven ration contains heavy processed meat, flour-based products, dried or smoked vegetables and fruits and spiced milk-products and herbal fluids.

By average, there is a smaller chance for a newborn to become female rather than male, therefore reproduction is unique. Kylorne Dwarves reproduce biologically like any mammals, and tend to bear a single or two children at a time. Offsprings are considered a rarity, so Kylorne Dwarves usually choose a single partner for life and tend to stay close with their children throughout their life. An average dwarf lives between 220-350 years, and is considered an adult at age 50.

Subraces look very similar, difference could be found in physical width or depth of face, Kylorne Dwarves who live in extremes (deep caverns, mountain tops) tend to have wider shoulders and more fallen-in face, while those in average environment (plains, hills) the opposite. Primal Kylorne Dwarves survived by constructing mechanisms and tools against Predators.
