Dwelf

The bastards of Andrasa, generally hated and despised by all except fellow outsiders in society. The Dwelves are seen to hold all the worst traits of dwarves and elves, and none of the best.

Appearance
Dwelves stand a head above most humans. Their builds range but most are slim, yet muscular. Their faces are full of very prominent pointed facial features.

Their ears are long and sharp, but their faces are often full of beards, and the women even have sideburns. This off putting collage of racial features is a dead give away. No Dwelf would ever pass for either of their parent races.

Culture
In terms of personality most Dwelves are incredibly short tempered and competitive. They have the stubborn resolve of a dwarf, the heightened emotions of an elf but neither of the races sense of control or balance.

Dwelves have developed a sense of solidarity. Having no true family, they often refer to one  another as brother or sister. Nephew or uncle if the age gap is large enough. The kinship between two Dwelves  whove never met is almost like that of old friends.

Racial rivalries between the dwarves and elves have been strong for centuries, and combine both races existing distaste for halfbreeds and the Dwelves are doomed to a life as orphans from the start.

Very few are born on purpose, often the result of regretful one night stands or worse.
