Deep Dwarf

Shorter than their Common Dwarven descendants, The Deep Dwarves are a highly cave-adapted race. Their eyes glow dimly, giving them mild darkvision, and they have infrared vision in addition to this. Deep Dwarves have grey skin, ranging from pale to medium-dark. The heads of the Deep Dwarves of today are entirely bald, though this development didn’t come to full circle until after the Common Dwarves split from them. Deep Dwarves can still grow beards and have body hair. Their heads are ridged and their ears and eyes large in proportion to their size.Like most of the Heylim’s descendants, they lost the tail and digitigrade stance of their forbears. The Deep Dwarves are descended from Heylimic settlers from the settlement of Duusori, which fell deep underground during a massive earthquake. The settlement’s spellcasters were able to protect most of the population, but they were trapped underground. They began to adapt to their new conditions, and eventually became the Deep Dwarves.
