White Dwarf (5e Race Variant)
From D&D Wiki
Dwarf Variant[edit]
Just like Drow are the foil to average elves, White dwarves are the foil to other dwarves. They are known to be chaotic and literally explosive. They live above ground, in fact on top of the tallest mountains, where they worship various sun gods. The earliest White Dwarf was a cleric for a forgotten sun god, who bestowed him and his descendants with the powers of the sun. Despite their name, they are not necessarily white skinned, although their hair and eyes tend to be very light. The name is given due to the fact that they glow dim white light when in darkness.
