Aldor have undergone centuries of inbreeding with Ailor cultures, and as a result look far more approachable and pleasant to the Ailor eye than their Mithorrin counterparts. They have very similar faces to the Ailor, but mostly maintain a stocky, Dwarven build (Though, naturally, they aren't as wide as the Mithorrin). Gender diversity has also been wildly enhanced by mixed genetics. Male Aldor tend to have broader, rather masculine frames, while female Aldor tend to have smaller (but still broad by Ailor standards), rather feminine frames. Physically, Aldor are less impressive than their cousins, and while they can hold more weight than an Ailor, they tend to lose out in shoving matches due to their short limbs. Perhaps the most notable trait of the Aldor is their diversity. Centuries of blending with Ailor culture has spread the Aldor far and wide. They can be found as far as [[Daendroc]] or [[Ithania]], and their skin, hair, and eye color vary as much as the natives of these lands. An Aldor from Daendroc can be darkly tanned with brown hair and eyes, for example. Aldor do not tend to identify themselves by Clans, being far more prone to ingratiate themselves in Ailor society. Aldor tend to be very adventurous, and when Dwarven remains are found within ruins, it is more often an adventurous Aldor than an elusive, unburied Mithorrin. Aldor tend to die young due to their adventurous and glory-driven lifestyle. | Aldor have undergone centuries of inbreeding with Ailor cultures, and as a result look far more approachable and pleasant to the Ailor eye than their Mithorrin counterparts.

Songaskia and Qadir have produced their own | Songaskia and Qadir have produced their own variants of Aldor, known as the Desert-Aldor and the Brown-Dwarves respectively. While their Proficiencies remain the same as "normal" Aldor, their cultural background tends to favor the particular background of their non-Dwarf parent. Desert-Aldor are particularly known to be very self-aggrandizing, seeing themselves as bother protectors and inheritors of Dragon Culture, and in keeping with the Dwarven ideals of Duindin. They tend to be incredibly confident and at times lack the reverence seen from other Dwarves. Brown-Dwarves are known to be the most intelligent of the Dwarves, rivaling if not outright being more clever than even the Urdweld. They are also supremely skilled in goldsmithing and fine craft works, though Qadir-raised Aldor, Brown-Dwarves, do tend to be very rare and almost always ostracized by Dwarven society. These Desert-Aldor always have dark skin tones, and possess the same visuals as half Ailor Aldor in terms of body shape. | ||
