Editing Dwarves (section)

== Physiology ==

=== <u>Appearance</u> ===
Dwarves are Human-like, but shorter and stockier. Originally their average height was four feet, but due to mixing with Humans, the average Dwarf now often reaches a height of five feet.<ref name=":4.45">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/12/4-45/ Chapter 4.45]</ref> Both males and females have beards, though most females opt out of it.

=== <u>Physical Qualities</u> ===

==== Lifespan ====
Dwarves have a longer lifespan than Humans, though shorter compared to [[half-Elves]].<ref>[[Interlude – Singing Ships|Interlude - Singing Ships]]</ref>

==== Reproduction ====
Dwarves are capable of cross-breeding with other races, like Humans. However, doing so over the centuries has diluted their blood, resulting in them losing some of their heritage, like now being taller then they used to be. Those born like this are known as Half-Dwarves.<ref name=":4.45" />

=== <u>Magical Qualities</u> ===

=== <u>Weaknesses</u> ===

==== Seasickness ====
Dwarves are shown to be prone to getting seasick in too much water and boats<ref name=":4.45" />

==== Slow Smithing Level Up ====
Due to their long lifespan, they level up in their Smithing Classes slower than those who have shorter ones, such as Humans. In exchange over the decades, or even in centuries, they build up true skill in their crafts that surpass everyone else.<ref name=":7.31">[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/06/28/7-31/ Chapter 7.31]</ref>
