Concerning Dwarves

Dwarves (not to be confused with dwarfs, humans with height-stunting genes) do not exist. Or, rather, they do not exist any more--at least as a distinct race. Unlike elves, dwarves have never had difficulties procreating with humans, for although many consider their race 'magical', dwarves are not magical creatures and rarely posess magical abilities stronger than the average human. Therefore, over the centuries, dwarves have interbred with humans such that it is highly doubtful that any 'purebred' dwarves still exist.
