Dwelves are the so-called "accursed" offspring of elves and dwarves. This is based largely on old stigmas that the two races had about one another. Usually, their kingdoms kept diplomacy, but at arm's length. For an elf to lay with a dwarf, it was seen as degrading. And dwarves derided elves as flimsy. Surely nothing good could come of the other! But, these two populous races with their considerable numbers in various worlds inevitably have some members that go about curiously. The dwelves come about as minute occurrences in these instances and are seen as oddities. To begin with, there is only a quarter of a chance a dwelf is born when an elf and dwarf mate. 75% of the time, the offspring will turn out some boring human. But dwelves have carved out a small niche for themselves between two very different societies and cultures, often raised in bits of both and ultimately becoming dissatisfied with both.
