Dwarf

Introduced a century earlier than Elves, Dwarves are short, stocky people who almost always sport a long beard. Dwarves are naturally poor at magic, which may be due to their early introduction onto Pal Tahrenor. Some theorists believe that all the humanoid races introduced magically were created from humans (perhaps as magical experiments) and by this logic the dwarves are poor at magic because of imperfections in their design. Imperfections which elves don't have.

The dwarven dislike of magic stems from both social and psychological roots. Dwarven culture is generally apprehensive toward the bending of reality and it is associated with cowardice, while the dwarven mind prefers concrete, solid, tangible, logical reality. Dwarves are, however, renowned for creating powerful magical weapons and armor, although they ascribe these powers to the blessing of their gods and not to magic per-se.

Dwarves, like elves, have a natural lifespan of around 3 centuries.
