Mountain Dwarves

Mountain Dwarves are so called because they tend to build their settlements in mountains. It usually consists of a fortress-like complex carved from the rock itself, also incorporating natural caves as halls.

They are slightly taller and slimmer (if a dwarf can be called such) than the Deep Dwarves. Even so, they are still stocky when compared to humans.

They grow long beards, and much like the Deep Dwarves, are very proud and protective of their facial hair.

They have much more frequent interaction with the outside world, however. Trading caravans (either human or dwarven) travel between the largest population centres of both races. Some dwarves also occasionally leave dwarven settlements to go live amongst humans. This is very rare, though.

Mountain Dwarves are less obnoxious than their gold-digging cousins, although not by much. Much like the Deep Dwarves, Mountain Dwarves are honest, direct and quite blunt. They also have a penchant for offending people.
