| + | The dwarves are pale, with thick black hair and beards. After some initially confusing talks between the gods, UNITED, and some scholars of Norse mythology, it seems that they are not in fact as short as some myths make them out to be. But all the tales and the memories of the gods agree that they are craftsmen second to none. They are longer lived than humans, but not nearly so long as the elves. They are ruled by a High King, who takes advice from his council of Speakers. | ||
| >"These aren't your typical permanently Scottish, permanently violent, big axe, big beard, big jug of mead dwarves. Those come from later mythologies. The dwarves of Norse mythology are somewhat different, and there is little written about them. Sometimes called dark elves, or black elves, they are described as having pale skin, but thick black hair and beards (at least in the case of those described). They are skilled craftsmen, and fiercely competitive. most of the famous items in Norse mythology were created in a competition between two dwarves to see who could build the best gift for the gods. They probably weren't even short, the word "dwarf" comes from the Norse "Dvergar", Dark Ones (presumably referring to their hair)." | >"These aren't your typical permanently Scottish, permanently violent, big axe, big beard, big jug of mead dwarves.
