The Common dwarf is a wanderer, loving nature and the outdoors they will usually not be found to be settled in cities or towns. Instead they can be found living in socially modified wagons that are essentially rolling homes, traveling from one place to another. It is rumored that the Common dwarves have a hidden city containing great wealth and treasures beyond belief, but this is just a myth as no outsider can say for sure it is real, and no common dwarf ever talks about it. This hidden city is rumored to be called Dwardom.

The Common dwarf lives a very clannish life, and they will normally not associate with another clan except for possibly parking wagons together for protection, or coming to the aid of another clan in trouble. The clans, which number in the hundreds come together once a year for what they call the great fair, and to have what is called the Great Dwarf meet up. This is chance for the clans to all get together to make new rules, forge new alliances, settle disputes and to generally have a good time. Bloodshed is rarely spilt at a clan gathering. The common dwarf measures his or her wealth by their wagon, and it is generally agreed that the more highly decorated a wagon is the more wealthier the dwarf owning it is, thus others will notice that these wagons tend to be garishly decorated, and painted bright vibrant colors. All Common dwarves view Goblins as vermin, as Common Dwarven lore says that thousands of years ago the great Dwarven founder Polchack the Long had his beard stolen one night when he was asleep by a sneaky goblin, thus all common dwarves believe that the Goblins are responsible for them not having nor being able to grow beards.
