Not really enough information. Sounds like elves, though since it sounds like elves it's bound to be dwarves.

Anyway, it sounds like Awesome Elves in my opinion.

Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

The thing is, i'm trying to get you to make a decision solely by the name.

Poser Elves. Dwarfism is probably a fad this year and the pointy-eared fops are all over it. Next year, when Goblinism comes back in fashion, they'll be the Tree of Snots. Fucking posers.

I don't know. Sounds like Awesome Dwarves to me. the image I keep getting is the same image I had for a D&D campeign I was going to run but then never was where the players game is based around this hollow in the earth that was once a major fort of contention between the Dwarves and the goblins until some greater god or other power got annoyed and crushed it with a "Massive Stone From the Heavens". The stone turned out to be a Yggdrasil Nut/Seed and the war shifted from "Who controls this tunnel hub" to "Who can control the freaking god tree sapling!"

so ya Epic Dwarves.

Sounds like humans trying to make nice with the elves and dwarves at the same time.

Remember that "trees" includes underground giant mushrooms.

Blood thorn picks for everybody!

Dwarves with a love of tower cap and fungiwood logs. Considering how many dangers said dwarves would have to face in the Underworld to get those logs, I don't think I can count them as "pansies."

It's clearly a dwarven civilisation built around a massive tree of mined obsidian constructed for the sole purpose of mocking the elves. Hence, 'awesome dwarves'.

Those are both cavern 1 trees. Nether-caps and blood thorns are way down at the bottom where the danger is greatest.
