Help|Races|Duergar

With the recent excavations unearthing paths to the Underdark, the race of dark dwarves known as Duergar has made its way into Thera. Stronger than their surface cousins, their evil ways have changed them in other areas. Unlike their cousins, they are not known for working stone and metal, something which has made them less hearty over time. They have become more dexterous through centuries of thievery and deceit. Because of their many years underground, they have become adept at seeing through the shadows. However, they cannot see hidden assassins within the shadows of the wilderness. The duergar have also become accustomed to the dark waters living near the rivers and oceans of the Underdark. They do not share the fear or vulnerability to water of their surface cousins. All Duergar are evil. Duergar are slightly taller and thinner than their surface cousins. The average duergar is approximately 4'6". The complexion of the duergar is almost ebony, and without fail they have dark, thick, and greasy beards. Duergar share the resistance of their surface dweller cousins to poison and magic, though their long sojourn in Darkness has made them vulnerable to holy attacks as well as to light. Duergars can see in the dark with infravision.
