Dwarf-Elf (Half Dwarf, Half Elf)

Sample file Intro

Half Races of the Realms is a campaign supplement designed to be used by both the dungeon master and player characters. In a campaign world full of numerous sentient hu- manoid creatures it's highly likely that mixed races other than just half-elves, half-orcs and half-ogres would arise, especially in certain areas in the Realms. This supplement depicts twelve of the most common half races, where they are most likely to be from, their unique traits, and how other groups of humanoids interact with them.

“A half-dwarf, half-elf? Disgusting. I’ve dedicated my life to eradicating those ugly, bearded ground-slugs from the face of Faerun. Any so called ‘dwarf-elf’ should be slain at birth before it infects our kind with tainted dwarf-blood. Our innocent women should never even have to think of such a wretched act as having one of those dirt-covered tanglebeards...” -Aramis Dwarfslayer, native of Myth Drannor, upon being asked if he ever encoun- tered a dwarf-elf.

Dwarf-elves, called Elf-dwarfs by the dwarvenkind, are very rare, since most elves and dwarves don’t get along well. The pairing does happen on occasion though. Most Dwarf-elvesSample resemble stocky, short elves with thin beards and large noses.file WHERE THEY’RE COMMONLY FOUND

Most recorded appearances of dwarf-elves have been in cities like Silverymoon, Water deep, or Raven’s Bluff, and the Dalelands. Most dwarf-elves are acknowledged as their mu- tual kinfolk, but they are often kept at an arms length distance. No dwarf-elves are allowed in Evermeet or Evereska, nor are any dwarf-elves allowed the deep dwarf cities, or Iron- master in the Frozenfar.

PROUD AND TOUGH

Dwarf-elves are often stubborn, like their dwarven kindred, but also somewhat vain and aloof like elves. Many come across as extremely arrogant and prideful, and although most are generally good-natured, a few have been lured by dark powers into evil.

HILL DWARFSample BLOODED file One of your parents was a hill dwarf, also called a gold dwarf, which imparted some of your dwarven kin’s intuitive nature in you. In the worlds of D&D, dwarf-elves who are half hill dwarf tend to have keen senses. They regard both elves and dwarves well, but they often are a bit sullen as they are never really accepted in either culture, but they’re often closer with their dwarven kin as the elves in the Shining South are usually very reserved and which hide deep within their woodlands. They interact with humans well, as well as with most other races, even half-orcs to a degree. Dwarf-elves who have hill dwarf blood are generally from the Shining South, near the Great Rift, and are often mixed with wild elves from the Forest of Amtar, or the Chondalwood.
