Hill Dwarves

Hill dwarves are the most common dwarves and have adapted well to life above and below ground, living in areas of rolling hills. A typical hill dwarf stands roughly 4 feet tall and weighs about 150 pounds. Stocky and muscular, hill dwarves typically are a deep tan or light brown in color, with ruddy cheeks, bright eyes, and hair that is black, gray, or brown. They tend to favor dark, somber, earth-toned clothes, and wear little jewelry. 

Hill dwarf strongholds are primarily located underground, though they frequently have outposts on the surface. They claim that they have always lived in the hills, but they may have migrated there either by traveling above ground (as believed by the ), or via underground passages. If their migrations were indeed via surface travel, then it is likely that they are descended from their mountain kin.
