NOTE: I don't have elves, orcs and other Tolkienesque races because I never liked them and I don't need them.
On TV Tropes there is a article titled OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame, but I don't agree that they are all identical.
What I subverted about dwarfs, this is just brainstorming, haven't included them in my settting.
- They are spelled dwarfs because I like this spelling more and its more grammatically correct
- Not all dwarfs have facial hair, its a matter of personal preference
- They don't trade with other races to get food and they are not a race of miners and blacksmiths, there are dwarfs that are shepherds and dwarfs that are farmers, merchants, woodworkers, carpenters, leatherworkers and so on.
- Mining ot blacksmithing is not the most common profession, the most common profession is being a shepherd or a goatherd.
- Some dwarfs are employed by human kings to work as professional artisanal miners.
- They don't have Scottish accents and aren't drinking beer more than other races.
- They are supposed to represent a race of little people rather than the mythological dwarves.
