Dwarf
山小人（ドワーフ）
Races & CreaturesMajor Races
A Humanoid race that lives inside mountain ranges; they average about 130 cm tall, have full darkvision, and are boisterous and fond of drink yet mathematically minded.
- The Dwarf Kingdom lies within the Azerlisia Mountains; its old capital, Feo Berkana, was occupied by frost dragons until the Sorcerer Kingdom recaptured it in Vol. 11 and then established relations with the Dwarf Kingdom.
- They generally move slowly; their lifespan is presumed longer than humans' (not stated).
- In YGGDRASIL, dwarves get bonuses to crafting classes and were popular with players who made gear.
- Men have thick beards, often braided; women, as a matter of course, shave the hair under their noses.
- Dark dwarves trade magic weapons with the demi-human king Buser and so are presumed to live in the Abelion Hills (name only; Vol. 12 notes). Hill dwarves once founded a nation in the hills before goblins and other demi-humans destroyed it (Web setting); they are skilled rangers.
- The Dwarf Kingdom uses heat ore (a special ore that gives off intense heat when struck with mithril or better) instead of coal; only druids can make air-purifying magic items, but dwarven druids are very rare (Vol. 11 p. 7)
- The "riding lizards" used as mounts are large lizards over three meters long that the dwarves have tamed (Vol. 11 p. 193); when undead are mentioned, dwarves first think of "frozen bones" and "frozen zombies" (Vol. 11 p. 195)
