Dwarfs

The dwarfs are the dominant race of Callhagos. They are considered the shortest of the dominant races and also the most stubborn, but at the same time they are a race of incredible crafting talent and loyalty. Their most notable aspect is their advanced technologies, not simply in weaponry but also in other areas such as medicines and expressive arts.

Variations
Dwarfs are not as various as other races, although there are still some types of dwarfs.

Common Dwarf

The common dwarf (also known as a forge dwarf) is the most widespread of the dwarfs. More than 90% of all dwarvenkind are common dwarf. Common dwarfs have a natural talent for smithery and tend to be hairy. Large amounts of testosterone can be observed in dwarfs, which explains why even dwarf women possess hair, compared to women other races.

The hair colors of the common dwarf are either red, blond, brown or black, much like a human's. Unlike humans however, dwarfs grow more muscle as they age. Despite this they don't normally grow above 5 feet. Common dwarfs also typically have pale skin, save for dwarfs which work in the field.

Their runes are often "mountain", "hill", "plateau", "friendship" and "love".

Cave Dwarf

Dwarfs that have accustomed life to the caves and mines of Callhagos. Cave Dwarfs are much like common dwarfs, but some attributes can be noticed. They are not as hairy, have less than half the natural lifespan of a common dwarf, are adjusted to seeing in the dark and thus are incredibly sensitive to light, even smaller and lack varied teeth (they lack incisors, canines and molars, their teeth are all the same and all perform the same function).

Cave Dwarfs are often looked down upon by all other variations, all cave dwarfs reside in either the Mining Planets/Moons or the Mobile Mining Factories which go to said planets or moons (and also asteroids).

Their runes are often "cave", "darkness", "bats", "bugs" and "divide".

Dw'aar'an

The Dw'aar'an are to the dwarfs what the High Elves are to the rest of elvenkind. The highest of society, a dw'aar'an can be differed from a common dwarf depending on how a dw'aar'an's attire/appearance. dw'aar'an women often shave, leaving no hair across their body save for the ones on their scalp (and maybe the ones between the legs too if you're wondering, you disgusting pig). Dw'aar'an don't appear to have any hair genes of black, blond or brown and only stick to red. Dw'aar'an are the tallest of the dwarf variations (aside from the next entry), able to normally breach 5 feet, and sticking to around 3 inches above 5 feet. However, the thing that truly discerns the Dw'aar'an from the common dwarf is without a doubt their runes. All dwarfs have runes, and when exposed to magic, they glow. Dw'aar'an runes are different for the runes speak of "Servi's Code".

It is said that when some of the old Demiurge Servesuvius still lives on, and his power is ingrained into the runes of the the Dw'aar'an, granting them prosperous gifts, the right to rule and a deeper connection to magic. Not all dw'aar'an are royalty but all royalty are dw'aar'an.

Ogre

When races interbreed, they could end up with something else, in this case when two dwarfs of different races interbreed the result is an Ogre. Unlike the Orcs of Elven interbreeding, Ogres are all similar. Ogres are the tallest of the dwarfs, capable of matching man at six feet tall. Their skin is either a dark green hue to thundercloud gray. Long protruding fangs and generally low intellect.

Ogres are all born with only one of two runes, gifted ones are born with both. The two runes are "Revenge" and "Unite".

Natural Predators
Uinsok- Most dwarfs have never seen an Uinsok in millennia. But the creatures do still live on in some galaxies. The unlucky dwarfs that often fall prey to them are often cave dwarfs and perhaps dwarfs of impoverished communities.

Nadrion †- The Nadrion were the original dominant race of Callhagos, designed by Cromwellius himself and predating the dwarfs. When the dwarfs were made the Nadrion preyed on them and ruled without competition. This was until of Ceazure's sabotage, the event is unknown but all that is known is that the Nadrion went extinct and this allowed the dwarfs to take over.

Dervu †- The Dervu went from predator to prey. They were soon hunted into extinction by the dwarfs.
