Description
While all dwarves were made equal by the gods, their way of life later on, made considerable differences on their following generations. Hill dwarves came from the dwarves who did not choose to isolate themselves in mountains and underground, but settles near more approachable locations that could interact with other races. They focused more on trading rather than blacksmithing making them the intermediate between Mountain Dwarf goods and the rest of the world. Due to their more social nature, their kind was the "face" of the Dwarven kind towards the other nations.
Reputation
Hill Dwarves have the best reputation amongst their kin, being the most wise and reasonable, but their reputation of gold-loving stays strong.

Hill Dwarves exist until the 4th era.
