Dwarves have constantly appeared in folklore throughout history, first appearing in germanic mythology and then later in norse mythology. Their story continues to thrive today with tales of an evil race of dwarves that lure people to their death being told in Northumberland. Many of these stories describe the dwarves as having or representing similar traits such as wisdom, mining and crafting. However descriptions of their physical attributes and characteristics vary from source to source. This problem has caused many modern day representations of dwarves to vary significantly in appearance and temperament in games and films.
I think because of this variety of representations of what a dwarf is I will need to look deeper into different franchises style of dwarf, from which I will be able to draw common characteristics that a dwarf needs to be recognized as a dwarf. This will not only make my concepts more believable and realistic it, it will also help to define the style and story of the game.
