This is my first entry of a new project I’ve been working on. It’s a fictional story that takes an alternate Earth in which the Late Pleistocene Ice Age lasted much longer than in our reality. This resulted in Homo sapiens never leaving Africa and other species filling the niche of the dominant species in the rest of the world.

One such species are the dwarves. Descendants of Neanderthals, dwarves live in the highlands of Europe. Shorter and more robust than humans, they thrive in some of the harshest climates. Due to constant clashes with humans and orcs they prefer to live in the more montane regions where the other species avoid. They have complex city-states scattered across the Mediterranean and Western Europe.



Name: Ifrenr

Species: Dwarf

Age: 35

Height: 160cm

Description: Ifrenr is a shepherd from the highlands of Turkey. He has spent the majority of his life alone watching over his flocks of mouflon. This solitary existence is dangerous and his body reflects this. A decade ago, an aggressive ram fractured the left side of his skull. Dwarves are much more robust than most other species and he recovered with time. However, he was left with heavy scaring on his damaged side along with a lazy eye and cauliflower ear. Prolonged exposure to the harsh sun has left his fair skin dotted in freckles.

Despite his rather rough physical exterior, Ifrenr is a rather gentle and caring individual. His flocks are well-fed and doggedly defended from the many predators of the region. He is also a masterful poet who passes his ample free time composing new prose.

He dresses in a traditional dwarven wool cloak that functions as both clothing and blanket. He is quite resilient to the cool air and typically works with his cloak open to avoid sweating.
