| rdfs:comment | - The mountain-folk are humanoids with a shorter body height than a typical human. In past days they were known as dwarves -- something which they today see as a huge offense. They basically have the same strengths and weaknesses as any human. In their culture, mining is especially common, and therefore greed for wealth isn't uncommon. The mountain-folk were first seen in Sosaria (as dwarves) during the Age of Darkness. Their last recorded appearance was in Ultima Underworld.

| Text | - Mountain fold and legendary miners, the dwarves of Sosaria stand but half a human’s height, yet often outweigh slender elves. They are matchless in courage and possess and inordinate endowment of natural strength. Never accept the Sosarian dwarf’s challenge to wrestle for drinks in a tavern, unless thy supply of gold be endless and thy generosity ample.

| abstract | - The mountain-folk are humanoids with a shorter body height than a typical human. In past days they were known as dwarves -- something which they today see as a huge offense. They basically have the same strengths and weaknesses as any human. In their culture, mining is especially common, and therefore greed for wealth isn't uncommon. After the cataclysm that formed modern Britannia, the mountain-folk slowly intermingled with human society and their short stature was slowly bred away over the years. By the time of the creation of the colony in the Abyss, their culture was in great danger of total assimilation. Since they weren't heard of in later times, this may be exactly what happened to their kind in the end. The mountain-folk were first seen in Sosaria (as dwarves) during the Age of Darkness. Their last recorded appearance was in Ultima Underworld.
