Hill Dwarves typically live either above ground in highland villages, or in Dwarven
holdfasts near the surface, typcially farming and/or maintaining livestock for sustenance.
This kind of Dwarf is less common than Mountain Dwarves in most settings, but more
often encountered because their steadings are not as remote or difficult to find.
Hill Dwarves are typically taller and lither than their Mountain kin, and less dour
in outlook.

Medium Foot typically fight, as the name would indicate, on foot. They generally
wear chain or other medium armors and wield heavier one-handed weapons in conjunction
with a shield. Medium Foot concentrate on a powerful mix of manueverability, quickness,
skill, technique and brute force.
|
Medium Foot provide a potent middle ground between the various extremes of fighting,
and might possibly be the best all-around type of generalist fighter.

Heavy Foot typically fight, as the name would indicate, on foot. They generally
wear heavy armor and wield heavier two-handed weapons.
|
As you might imagine physical strength and stamina are necessary for this type of
fighting, and Heavy Foot train exhaustively when learning their trade to develop
the physical traits needed in their line of work. Most Heavy Foot start their training
in their mid teens, as their bodies are better able to adapt to the stress and develop
the necessary body mass to excel at this trade.
