-//Dwarven bodies are closer to worked stone than flesh. Their skeletons are heavily mineralized, and even their muscle and skin possess a dense, coarse firmness that absorbs punishment rather than yielding to it. This resilience is the product of generations spent underground — enduring rockfall, explosive force, grinding debris, and the hazards of mining life — as well as hunting and butchering powerful subterranean beasts such as the Hildisvíni. Blades bite shallow, impacts disperse, and injuries that would cripple others are endured and worked through. Dwarves are not immune to harm, but harming them meaningfully requires commitment. Killing one requires more still.//\\+//Dwarves are renowned for their resilience, both physical and mental. Their flesh bears a stony density unlike any other Elvenoid, their bones are heavily mineralised, and their bodies are built to endure punishment that would leave others broken. Just as formidable is their resolve. Dwarves rarely panic, seldom tire and possess a stubborn determination that has become the stuff of legend. They are not invincible, but once a Dwarf has decided to keep going, convincing them otherwise is often the harder battle.//\\

-//Dwarves were the first people to develop what the Federation now calls cyberware, finding little philosophical divide between flesh, stone, and steel. Their bodies — already dense and mineral-heavy — accept mechanical replacement with remarkable ease, particularly when injury demands it. Limbs, organs, meat, and structural supports are routinely rebuilt rather than healed, and such modifications rarely disrupt function or identity. While mana can struggle to settle comfortably in dwarven physiology, the introduction of additional metal poses no such problem; arcane instability does not worsen when chrome replaces bone. To a dwarf, steel is simply another kind of rock — and replacing a broken part with a stronger one is not transgression, but good sense.//\\+//Dwarves were the first people to develop what the Federation now calls cyberware, finding little philosophical divide between flesh, stone, and steel.

 //Dwarves do not see magic in the way most Federation peoples do. They can observe its effects — heat, force, distortion — but the flowing currents, subtle harmonics, and shifting structures of the arcane remain largely imperceptible to them. Where others sense magic as presence or pressure, dwarves experience only outcome. This blindness has been mistaken for weakness, certainly, but it has shaped their entire relationship with the arcane. Unable to feel magic directly, dwarves learned to measure it, bind it, inscribe it, and contain it through runes, mechanisms, and engineered systems. While this makes them slower to react to hostile spellwork in its early stages, it also frees them from arcane distraction. Dwarves do not marvel at magic — they account for it, brace against it, and build something solid enough that it does not matter whether they saw it coming or not.//\\ //Dwarves do not see magic in the way most Federation peoples do.
