Hill Dweorhs

Hill Dweorhs
The Hill Dweorhs, those who remained at the foot of the mountains, among the hills, plains, and woodlands. These Dweorhs decided to help connect the different nations with roads, provide canals, and assist in the building with stone and marble. These Dweorhs are more muscular, but shorter than their mountain cousins, and while still hairy can appear to be balding, being only slightly protected from the will and winds of Deumael.

History
The Hill Dweorhs are descendants of Dweorhs who decided that the world above the caverns and tunnels in the mountains was worth staying in, after helping sculpt the surface so beautifully. Still they preferred homes that reminded them of their mountain cavern origins, they became miners of a different sort to appease this preference. Granite, marble, limestone, sandstone; these replaced the common metals they were familiar with mining and working. They became quarry-men, stone-masons, and engineers. They also became farmers, herders, and animal breeders. They participated in travel and learned to be merchants and tradesmen. They worked with the other tribes of Dweorhs to further their efforts, bringing their products to the world and making it possible for them to achieve more.

The Hill Dweorhs became known for their strength and fortitude, even more than their Mountain Dweorh cousins. While the Mountain Dweorhs toiled at forges and fires, while they strove for metal and gems, it seems that the efforts of the Hill Dweorhs to cut, carve, and lay stone, their farming, lifting, hauling, made for a better overall physical conditioning. Hill Dweorh infantry are a common site at the head of a defending mercenary army, a bulwark that even the Mountain Dweorhs' "Iratus Voyska" (shock troopers) will take a moment of pause before assaulting. The Hill Dweorhs are the unbreakable wall to the Mountain Dweorhs unstoppable hammer.
