Desert dwarf

The Desert dwarves are dwarven clans living in the House of Tezca desert in Maztica. During the Rockfire Cataclysm of 987 DR, Underdark passages between Maztica and Faerûn were destroyed and the dwarves were isolated in Maztica. The dwarves live in relatively small clans with several hundred members each. The dwarves are known as the Hairy Men of the Desert to humans living in Maztica.

Because of a lack of iron ore, the Desert dwarves are forced to rely on stone weapons although as of 1362 DR some had created weapons from magical plumastone from the ruined city of Tewacha.

Appearance
With the exception of their sunburnt skin, Desert dwarves are indistinguishable from other dwarves.
