Dwarves

Dwarves are all covered with fine beards, and can live for 150 years. They are stout and stocky, and have hewn their way into the very heart of the mountains through sheer might alone. They survive on mushrooms grown underground, and on the meat of every animal they can find. Some Dwarven outposts, for example, survive purely on kitten and puppy meat, and the bones are carved into totems.

Dwarves are a violent and bloodthirsty people, and take joy in slaughter. However, this can often lead to accidents. Many of the Dwarven military die or suffer grievous injuries in sparring, and disagreements between Dwarves can often lead to a tantrum spiral of violence that will destroy an entire community.

A Dwarven mountainhome is likely to be riddled with various crazy mechanisms, traps, levers and whatnot, and nobody is really sure what everything does. Pulling a lever might just make the great hall become flooded with lava, for example!

Dwarven society is based around mining. Ores, precious gems and metals are dug up from the mountains. These are then crafted into masterpieces by the Dwarven smiths, and these can be traded (or, if weapons, wielded by Dwarven warriors) for other goods.

Nobles are the rulers of the society. The highest is the King, and each outpost is ruled by a Duke, Count, or a Baron. There is also an elected Mayor to assign work orders and the like. The nobles will frequently make demands of their Dwarves to produce things for them, and strict punishments are meted out if they go unfulfilled.

Dwarven justice is simple. The Hammerer delivers a beating with his hammer to any Dwarf who falls foul of the law.

Dwarves and Elves do not get along. This is because Elves believe nature - trees and animals - are something to live in harmony with, whereas Dwarves do not see their value as anything other than fuel for their forges or dinner. Dwarves happily trade commodities with both humans and Bangaa. Dwarves and Shumi share a lot of common values in mining and living underground, however, the Shumi consider the Dwarves to be a bit barbaric for their tastes. I dunno what they'd make of Moogles. They'd probably try to eat them or something.

They smurfing hate tusked menaces, otherwise known as elephants.

Dwarf Fortress smurfing kicks ass and you should go and play it.
