Dwarves
Dwarves average four feet in height, with squat, broad bodies. Male dwarves grow thick facial hair. It is often a sign of extreme sadness and mourning for a dwarf to shave his beard. It is said that female dwarves also grow beards, but it has been proven that most female dwarves grow sideburns.
Hill Dwarves
Hill Dwarves are the standard race of dwarves, and prefer to live above ground, unlike their cousins, the Mountain Dwarves.
Mountain Dwarves
Mountain dwarves, unlike their cousins, the Hill Dwarves, prefer to live underground rather than above ground.
Gully Dwarves
gully dwarves, or aghar as their race was known, are not dwarves in the strictest sense (they are, in reality, thought to be the offspring of a gnome and a dwarf). They are the lowest caste in dwarven society, found all over Krynn, living in filth and squalor in places that had been abandoned by most other living creatures, including animals.
Like dwarves, they are clannish, and several clans live together, following the rule of their chieftains or one particular powerful leader. Females lack whiskers on their chins but have them on their cheeks, and may wear tattered overskirts wrapped around their waists extending to their knees.
Despite their wretched appearance, gully dwarves generally lead a cheerful existence, though they are incredibly unintelligent creatures. Only a few gully dwarves can conceive of any number higher than 'two' (anything above that is "more than two" of any given thing).
