Short and Stoutīold and hardy, dwarves are known as skilled warriors, miners, and workers of stone and metal. Kingdoms rich in ancient grandeur, halls carved into the roots of mountains, the echoing of picks and hammers in deep mines and blazing forges, a commitment to clan and tradition, and a burning hatred of goblins and orcs-these common threads unite all dwarves. “Knew I’d find ye in trouble if I came out an’ looked for ye!”
In spite of the added discomfort, the dwarf’s long, pointed, often-broken nose and gray-streaked though still-fiery red beard came as a welcome sight to Drizzt. Bruenor Battlehammer walked up the back of his dead foe, disregarding the fact that the heavy monster lay on top of his elven friend. “Yer late, elf!” came the rough edge of a familiar voice.
