Faerun X Races of Faerun

The Forgotten Realms world of Faerûn has several major dwarven sub-races.

  • Arctic dwarves (also known as the Inugaakalikurit), found in the northernmost reaches of Faerûn, are smaller and stronger than most other dwarves, and immune to cold.
  • Duergar, or Gray Dwarves, or Deep Dwarves, are mainly found in the Underdark, and have an aversion to light.
  • Hill Dwarves, also known as Gold Dwarves, are the dominant dwarves in southern Faerûn. They are generally a more upbeat group than their northern cousins. They primarily reside in and around the Deep Realm, an underground realm surrounding a Grand Canyon-like gorge.
  • Mountain Dwarves, also known as Shield Dwarves, are the dominant dwarves in the northern parts of Faerûn. These dwarves tend to be fatalistic due to generations of declining numbers.
  • Urdunnir, also known as Ore-cutter dwarves, have the magical ability to shape metal and stone, and can walk through the latter.
  • Wild dwarves are short, primitive dwarves found in the deep jungles of Faerûn.
