Dwarves (Greyhawk)

This article is imported from the Hastur wiki. See the import log for details.

All dwarfs are androgynous and capable of bearing children. Most seem to be males to outsiders, tough a few adopt what seems to be a female identity. Placing no importance on gender and mostly identifying with the males of other races, dwarfs generally refer to themselves as male. Dwarf procreation is indirect; it involves the exchange of various sex toys but no direct physical contact and has no bearing on love or relationships. Dwarfs know enough to value genetic diversity; gift-giving between different dwarf clans is more than just a ritual.
