Dwarves

Dwarves live exclusively on Saturday, but their culture is so diverse that they need their own page.

Introduction
The Dwarves are one of the only races to live exclusively on one planet, and have no other sub-species or cousin-races throughout the universe. They are descendants of vikings. They live in Friday's Mountains on Saturday (the world). They are short in stature, usually around 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 meters) tall. They are also, quite literally, "big boned" with bones that are thick and hard to break with enough muscle to keep them standing (making them appear to be fat). Male and Female dwarves are capable of growing a beard, and lots of body hair is extremely common. Their hair is usually soft and curly- despite the rumors- and help them find minerals and precious metals.

Their cities are almost exclusively made of gold, silver, and other metals inside massive caverns dug into the mountains, but not getting near Friday's (the Dragon God) horns. They have a rivalry with the Cherokekins to the east in the woods, and established trade with the Croatoains to the south in the plains.

Political Practices
The dwarves have a monarchy with their kingdom usually run by the first born of the previous ruler, regardless of gender. This began when their first queen, Queen Ylva, established their warrior kingdom in the mountains with her 6 children, Brokk, Hrolf, Birget, Dalr, and the twins Halla and Eigil.

Work
The dwarves mine the mountains in shifts, usually only during the 6th and 7th turn of the year to not burn out the mountains. Their beards help them find minerals, like previously stated, but they also have the option to shave their beards. That is usually only done by elders who have retired from mining, or royalty.

Courting
When courting another dwarf, the men usually get a rare gem like Alexandrite from the stockpile after they do something to exponentially help their race, usually they choose to serve in the battles and raids against the Cherokekins. If they do fight against the Cherokekins for their courtship, they usually take the antlers of their first kill to create jewelry or the band to hold the rare gem to give to the one they're courting. The women can either accept or reject them. If they accept, then they need to go to the ruler and announce their engagement. After that they work together to help their community for 1 turn, and they're still together, they can get married in the palace.

Life Expectancy
Dwarves can live between 80 to 150 years of age, depending on their ancestry, how long they've worked, and what they eat.
