The Dwarves of Long Ago
In the time in which Midnight takes place, dwarves had given up their physical bodies, replacing them with mechanical ones. They became cruel, cold, calculating, and tyrannical. As punishment, they were destroyed. However, new dwarves were created, ones that were stripped of their Aspects, Magicks, and Elements.
The Dwarves of the Modern Age
Dwarves are much like elves, except their skin is rough and coarse, and their pointed ears are shorter. Dwarves are, of course, themselves also shorter than elves. Dwarves also have sharp teeth, whereas elves have blunt teeth.

Types of Dwarves
Despite dwarves having no Aspects, Magicks, or Elements, there are still three types of dwarves - three "races" of dwarves, if you will.
Deep dwarves are dwarves from Kusmantastan or Kurcikistan, and they tend to dwell underground. They tend to be shaven on the head but sometimes have facial hair. They have a strong, bulky body type and tend to be darker-skinned and darker-haired.
Surface dwarves are dwarves from Nalestan, and they tend to dwell above-ground. They tend to have a tonne of hair all over their bodies, and have a bulky body type. Their skin-tone ranges from tan to light, and they tend to be darker-haired.
Sea dwarves are dwarves from Barkezmitistan, but despite their name, they don't usually dwell underwater, though some do. They tend to be clean-shaven but have some hair on the head; not quite as bulky as the other dwarves, and are lighter in skin colour and hair colour.
