So I drew anothing shit drawing. It's called
worse drawing.jpg and it's a pretty apt title. Anyway, I really like the idea of dwarves literally carving their living space out of the hill while blending in with the surrounding, which is why I went wild with the idea. Kinda reminds me of Grottoes and stuff, only with dwarves. I also think hill dwarves would mark their hills with a giant ass statue on top, ala Christ the Redeemer. Again, I think hill dwarves would dabble in aboveground farming, hence the terraces. Now that I think about it, I really just drew inspiration from things I see here in the Philippines. The
terrace idea certainly was, and the whole concept of hill dwarves reminds me of
Baguio City.
I think I drew some sort of Hill Dwarf metropolis. It's in the forest, on a hill, or a series of hills, as it were, and it's overlooking some squares and a poorly drawn swastika formation. The main hill would have the giant statue, and there's
this large road that goes from the bottom to the top. Down the hill, there would be fortifications and defenses carved in there, as well as smaller settlements. When you look inside, they'd all be connected in this sort of labyrinthine maze.
A dwarven cemetery would comprise a separate hill, and it'd be a simple affair. There's one entrance at the bottom and everything connects from there. It's like a pyramid except it's actually a hill full of dead dwarves.
It's forest everywhere. Maybe there would be a few elf retreats scattered along the way. Most likely because hill dwarves hate elves as much as their mountain cousins so they decided to set up shop
right next to those tree hugging bastards so they can kill them quicker. I don't know. I just always picture hills to have forests. There could even be human towns on the hill, if it's big enough. It's not like it's a stretch. Basically, I see hill dwarves as masters of blending in with their surroundings while still retaining that characteristic dwarven touch. I also see hill dwarves to be less xenophobic, hence the prevalence of outdoor construction (something taken from the humans and shit), as opposed to mountain dwarves who just hole up in their mountains.
I've really invested too much time into this. Fuck. Anyway, here's the offending image:
