Dwarrow (7 RP)

Dwarrow are the children of dwarves and gnomes. With a good eye for gems, and a proud heritage, this race stands out from other half-breeds because of its integration into dwarven and gnomish societies. While it can be hard to spot the differences between the three races at a glance, standing them beside each other makes it quite apparent.

Physical Description

Dwarrow are stockier than gnomes and shorter than dwarves, with a blend of features from both. Characterized by large noses, ears, and bellies, they don’t often grow full beards, but may sport long mustaches or goatees.

Society: Dwarrow share the whimsical nature of their gnomish parents, preferring adventure to settling down in large groups. When they do congregate, it is often to trade rare gems or tips for extracting precious minerals from difficult places

Relations: Dwarrow enjoy projects. When given a task, be it finding a rare item or solving a complicated riddle, dwarrow are at their best. Their personalities are the best of both dwarves and gnomes, and they get along with most races by treating any troubles with them as a new challenge.

Alignment and Religion: A dwarrow’s religious beliefs lie closely tied to their lineage. They often worship gods of earth and stone, in the same manner as dwarves. Most dwarrow are neutral good, like gnomes before them.

Adventurers: Adventuring dwarrow tend toward scouting and problem solving, which makes them great bards, rogues, and wizards. Dwarrow clerics teach the value of the earth and the wonders it can create.

Names: Dwarrow females prefer names that show off their love of gems, such as Diamond, Garnet, or Jade. Males prefer work-based names like Brick, Mason, Rock, or Smith.
