Half-dwarf

Half-dwarves (or halfbloods) were humanoids born through the union of an dwarf and another humanoid race.

Ecology
Half-dwarves were usually the result of a dwarf mating with a human, gnome or halfling. Although elves and dwarves were cross-fertile, such a union was far more rare.

The fertility and offsrping of half-dwarves was similiar to that of half-elves. If a half-dwarf mated with a pureblood dwarf, the offspring would be a pureblood dwarf. If a half-dwarf mated with another half-dwarf or a nondwarf, the offspring would be a half-dwarf.

Physical characteristics
Although slightly taller, half-dwarves were not a distinct race. Biologically, half-dwarves were almost indistinguishable from dwarves.

Culture
Non-dwarven mates who entered into dwarven culture were honoured and respected by dwarves for their bravery and loyalty.

Homelands
Half-dwarf races were common in Ardeep, Eaerlann, and Myth Drannor at one point in history but by 1358 DR were unheard of.
