Zwerc

Zwerc CR 1/2

Zwerc are mystically attuned to rock and stone. They live in pocket dimensions of the Elemental Planes of Earth, but zwerc enclaves often send out merchant caravans or emissaries in search of something their homelands lack. They can be generous and kind, but the laws of their settlements are paramount and any infraction against a taboo has dire consequences.

Zwerc are generally a little bit lighter, smaller, and shorter than their dwarven kin.
