Homebrew Dwelf Species Details

Dwelves are the offspring of an unlikely pairing of parents; Dwarfs and Elves. Their ancestors usually shun them leaving them in a strange purgatorial social class. Their attitudes and appearance make it easy to confuse them for Humans, and because of this, they tend to make their homes in Human societies.

Familiar Features

Taking different traits from each of their parents, one Dwelf may look very different to the next; some may be tall with strong features whereas others may be small and slender. More often than not, males tend to grow facial hair at a young age and females tend to have long elven ears. Despite the variety in dwelves, they all tend to look more or less like a Human. 

Conflicting Opinions

Taking the military influence of their Dwarven heritage and creative influence of their Elven heritage, Dwelves tend to shy away from politics, keeping themselves to themselves and seeking a peaceful living. They believe in combining beautiful craftsmanship with efficient and proven design. Dwelves are often some of the finest designers of machinery and architecture.
