Surface Dwarf

Surface Dwarves are the dwarves, or descendants of dwarves who decided to abandon the rigid traditions of the Dwaven nations in favor of living a life above the surface.

Appearance
While not all are clean shaven, many surface Dwarves choose to cut their hair and trim their beards, in a display of pride at their position on the surface. Surface Dwarves often follow more modern human fashion trends, and enjoy displaying their success (assuming they are successful) with gold jewelry or teeth.

Culture
Surface dwarf culture is hard to define, as each dwarf will abandon their homes and families for their own personal reasons. However it's very common for them to be very open and proud about their new lives and newfound freedom. Surface dwarves have a huge community of merchant caravans who often help new families adjust to surface living. Many surface dwarves choose to spend the rest of their lives in the service of the merchant caravans.
