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.
