Mountain Dwarf

Help File: Hill and Mountain Dwarves - 

Dwarves are short, stocky demi-humans, known for foul temper and great
stamina.  Dwarves have high strength and constitution, but poor dexterity. 
They are not as smart as humans, but are usually wiser due to their long
lifespans.  Dwarves make excellent fighters and priests, but are very poor
mages or thieves.  

Hill-dwarves reside in the hills of course, and are bit more nimble than
mountain-dwarves.  Mountain-dwarves make their homes in large mountains. 
They are a bit stronger than the hill-dwarves.

Dwarves are very resistant to poison and disease, but cannot swim, and so
are very vulnerable to drowning.  They receive the berserk skill for free
(if warriors), and can see in the dark with infravision.  

Dark Dwarves - 

These dwarves dwell deep in the mountains of Thaxonos.  They are cruel and
vicious.  They worship the dark gods and are known to carry out cruel and
nasty acts.  They despise all races especially elves and dont necessarily
trust other Dwarves.  The Dark Dwarves are the only Dwarven race that
meddles in magic, though it is of a dark kind.
