Deep Dwarves

Deep Dwarves are very much Mad Scientists, the subspecies of Dwarf that is isolated from the rest of the world and spends all of its time INVENTING!

They use a Base 8 number system, even though everyone else uses Base 10. They mostly do it to annoy and inconvience people, which is the same reason they've maintained their hilariously contrary language (Written right to left, bottom to top, in primarily pictographs. Because fuck surface walkers.). Both of those are artifacts of when they were sealed underground and thought they were the only species in existence.

They are very talented with magic and technology, and surprisingly tough (though they are essentially all albinos), but the subtle arts are not their specialty.

APPEARANCE

Shorter than humans, but not overly so: they tend to be about 5' tall.

Pale skin, white hair, red eyes: Born and live underground.

Braided hair and complex tattoos common, signs of wealth.
