Your Dwarves
My dwarves all have facial hair from birth, called their 'Birth Beard' that cannot be shaved off , since it is part of their soul given form. The rest of their beard is made of normal hair. All dwarves* have facial hair, most have long and braided beards. They're short, and tend to have small...- S.T. Ockenner

Dwarven Nuns
The nun walked further then ever before, until she had finally reached her goal. The cave.
