Dwarf

The race of Dwarf is used exclusively by the Dwarven culture for characters hailing from Erebor and the Iron Hills. Theoretically other Dwarves might have been represented, but they never were.

The vast majority of Dwarves in the game are versions of Gimli, but others have been introduced in an attempt to round out the culture and make it playable on its own.

The race itself is often mentioned in lieu of the culture because it lines up 1:1 with the culture, so references to companions of one are also the other.

Dwarves are also a major focus of the Hobbit Draft Game.
