DWARVES take sex very seriously. Their culture links it to craftsmanship, expression, cultivated heat, and endurance, it is even channeled into their metallurgy and craft. Stout and broad-shouldered, Dwarves rarely exceed five feet tall but radiate formidable strength. Their eyes gleam like gemstones (ruby, sapphire, or emerald), and their beards are often braided with metal filaments or enchanted crystals that hum or glow when stimulated. Both sexes grow facial hair, which is often styled into intricate braids or latticework revealing lips and jawlines. Attire favors function: leather harnesses, gem-encrusted codpieces, or nothing at all to showcase their sculpted bods.
