DWARF, DWARVES

A tough and sturdy people, the creation of Mahal, the Vala Aulë. They are stubborn and aggressive, yet honourable and steadfast companions. The Dwarves have had probably the most disastrous time in the Third Age, with their homes being taken from them, most notably the Mines of Moria which they call Khazad-dûm.

Today the main strongholds of Dwarves are in the East. They speak their native language of Khuzdul, as well as Westron the common language of men.

MUME's Dwarves

Dwarves within MUME are in most respect identical to Tolkien's descriptions. Although short, they contain a great strength and hence can make excellent warriors.

Dwarves in MUME are treated differently from the other races:

They tend to make terrible thieves because of their stoutness and reduced agility.
They can carry a heavier load on their shoulders without exhausting themselves.
They do not find themselves at ease when mounting horses, instead prefering mules and ponies.
They are particularly skilled at using axes, both one-handed and two-handed, when they're standing with their feet firm on the ground.
They are better at mining than others.

What is MUME?

MUME, Multi-Users in Middle-earth, is a multiplayer text-based online game based upon J. R. R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth during the epic wars of the late Third Age between the forces of the Dark Lord and the armies of the Free peoples. MUME is completely at no cost and has been continuously running, expanded, and remastered by a community of volunteers since 1991.
