I'd have to go with the dwarves. They are tough and sturdy, very serious, great craftsmen and engineers, good fighters up close. Climbing the seemingly endless stairs for duty's sake. My devotion to the clan comes before all. The beauty of the work of one's hands and the hunger to possess more beauty, more beauty. The shinny gold and silver and the sparkling diamands and rubies, treasures to be revered and honored. Burdens are welcome. Singing deep songs of battles won and comrads lost. Ah, I could go on and on.
