The Race of Duerv
Duervin (d-where-vin) in their tongue, Dwarves to the common folk of Lythran; are a fluid and characterful race of squat peoples throughout Azure. The main three classifications of Duervin are Mountain, Hill and Deep. Unlike other races, a dwarf's physical appearance and biology shifts and morphs throughout their lives; this process is known as Myphology (my-folo-gee).
Myphology
Myphology is a process that duervin undergo that morphs their biology around their physical surroundings. Not too much is known about this process to the scribes of the Praesidium, as it is a deeply religious and culturally specific process to dwarves; but the results are obvious.
Those Duervin that reside in the high peaks of the mountain for long periods of time develop hard, craggy skin half an inch thick as well as course, thick hair and beards of great importance. These are known as Mountain Dwarves to the common folk.
Duervin that venture out of the mountains and into the hilly plains of Lythran or other continents become softer and rounder, their beards growing slower and shorter, many losing hair altogether; but these dwarves attune much easier to the powers of the flux or the divine, with their eyes changing colour and living slightly longer lives. These are colloqually known as Hill Dwarves.
Duervin that spend vast quantities of their time underground and away from the sun however, become grey and pallid, with thin but long hair and beards becoming colourless, as well as their eyes. These Deep Dwarves attune to their inky environment by developing sharp eyesight and natural connection to the beasts that live amongst them, able to change their bodies at will, becoming larger or even disappearing altogether.
Sub-cultures of Duervin
Mountain Duervin
Very ominous and secretive upon first meeting, scary even, but their customs are much warmer from within. Think Avatar (blue monkeys); religious, aggressive, but kind and warm when within their family.
