Dwarves are

not always Scottish
>>53869011
not heroes, but calculating folk with a great idea of the value of money; some are tricky and treacherous and pretty bad lots; some are not, but are decent enough people if you don't expect too much.
>>53869011
gayer than elves
>>53869011
Jews, not Scots.

Russians.No, I don't agree with that slav dark elf greentext.
beardless runts.

Analogous to late 19th century Russia in my campaign setting: the world is changing, and they aren't, and pretty soon they're gonna get their asses handed to them by a bunch of kitsune.

That all sounds like it could also describe China.

Is that what happened to Russia?
>>53869534
...hm. They have a different brand of this, though...
Okay, who's duergar - russians or chinese?

China has the whole "long, unbroken tradition" thing going for them, along with having been associated for a long time with masterwork craftsmanship and production secrets. Think silk.
Russians, by contrast, have a reputation for being gloomy and morose, as seen in their literature. Even their humor is generally pointed at the absurdity and cruelty of life.
I'd peg duergar as Russian and dwarves as Chinese.

Although China is also a good base for dwarfs. Heavy use of war carts, tibetan architecture, the sheer scale of city walls, pioneering gunpowder, absurd amounts of traps.
Also, a chinese fa/tg/uy noted:
>Chinese people are actually a lot like dwarves
>money-hungry
>industrious
>utilitarian
>have good business-mind
>socially quite rigid and traditionalist/conservative
>age equal experience equal authority
>they treat their hair like a dwarf treat his beard.
