Forest Dwarves
It calls us all, branch and root, leaf and wind. Forest great and growing, we are your children and you are our home.
Fear our eyes that see!
Fear our hands which grasp!
Fear our souls which call!
We are the children of the Forest forever.
- Forest Dwarf war song.
Overview
Forest Dwarves are often called Wild Dwarves by non-Dwarven species. Among Dwarves they're just not talked about.
Forest Dwarves are tribal, less prone to technology, and far more prone to use magic than other dwarves. In addition, they have developed a complex, feared form of martial arts called Pashkarosu which builds on natural Dwarven traits of endurance, strength, and shortness. Between their magic, their knowledge of the forests they live in, and Pashkarosu, the Wild Dwarves are usually left alone.

Dwarven children never go homeless. The dwarves value children as childbirth is rarer than other races, and children are considered too valuable - somewhere between a great hope for the future and a great investment (to abandon a child to a dwarf would be like abandoning both family AND all all of one's tools). Many dwarf tales tell of a homeless dwarf child quickly adopted by others.
Among the Forest Dwarves, extended families are common. "Brother-Fathers" and "Sister-Mothers" are dwarves who, though not related to a dwarven parent, are declared as those who can look after the children if anything befalls the parents. To be given such a title is a great honor - and many Forest Dwarf Tribes have stopped conflicts when the leaders gave each other such honors.
