Dwarves are a race of stout humanoids who honor tradition and crafts. Originally from the lost planet Golarion, they now can be primarily found on Absalom Station, Star Citadel ships in the Diaspora, and on mining colonies throughout the Pact Worlds system's extrasolar colonies.12

Appearances

Dwarves are shorter and broader than humans, standing between four and four-and-a-half feet in height and weighing between 150 and 200 pounds.2

History

The dwarven race originated on the lost planet of Golarion. Unlike most other Golarion races, dwarves originally came from the subterranean tunnels beneath that world, and emerged on the surface thousands of years before the Gap in an event known as the Quest for Sky. While many dwarves accept that their coming to the surface of Golarion ended the Quest, others today believe that it was simply the first part of the Quest, and that their creator god Torag intends them to find another, destined alien sky.2

Organizations

Dwarves own Ulrikka Clanholdings, a mining consortium in the Diaspora.3

Relations to others

Most dwarves prefer the company of the other races who came from Golarion, including humans, gnomes, and halflings, although they do have a somewhat impolite appreciation of androids' elegant construction, and have much in common with kasathas and korasha lashuntas.2
