Hill dwarves, also known as Neidar, are the most commonly encountered
dwarven race on Krynn.
Hill Dwarves have deep tan to light brown skin, ruddy cheeks, and bright
eyes. Their hair is brown, black, or gray, worn respectably trim around the
ears and the majority of adult males wear long bushy beards and moustaches.
Neidar tend to be rough and coarse. They are extremely loyal and honorable
to their clans, and are capable of deep and lasting friendships. Hill Dwarves
have low, rich voices and can sing quite well. They have an extreme aversion
to traveling by water.
As with most dwarves Neidar belong to clans that they are extremely loyal
to. Because of their dwarven roots, they are excellent miners, metalsmiths,
and woodworkers. They live in villages and towns in the foothills
surrounding Thorbardin but due to their exposure to the outside world (not
subterranean dwellers) they have spread throughout Krynn integrating
themselves, making their homes and fetching large sums of money selling
there highly sought after craftsmanship.
Note that despite what dwarves are like in fantasy books and other games,
dwarves are not long lived here. They have the same lifespan as humans.
