Mountain Dwarves typically live below mountains in elaborate Dwarven "Halls".
Mountain Dwarves are sometimes self sufficient, but often have to trade with their
hill-living cousins and with other races for food and other living amenities; they
rarely have trouble enticing trade however, for their weapons and jewelry are usually
reknowned for their quality. Mountain Dwarves are typically shorter and more powerfully
built than their Hill kin, but more dour in outlook.

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.
