The Duergar of Severall
Several thousand years ago, the Drow God Koric pondered a question. How best to help his people dominate the Three Worlds in the face of ever-breeding vermin like dwarves and humans. The Duergar were his answer.
Duergar legend says the The Vengeful Son used the four strongest substances he could find to forge them. The stone of the mountain for endurance, forged steel for strength, the blood of the drow for purpose, and Katdoral's own darkness to breathe life into them. Even today war cries of "Blood and Stone!" or "Steel and Darkness!" often accompany duergar into battle.
Duergar average around 4 feet tall, yet weigh nearly as much as an adult human. Where dwarves are often round bodied, duergar are wide shouldered, but wiry and leaner with dense corded musculature.
Duergar have skin that ranges between light grey to deep black. Eyes are similar to drow, with yellow, orange, and red being most common. Duergar pupils are deep red. Duergar ears are pointed like drow.
Duergar of Severall are completely hairless, some say as a slight from Koric to the dwarves. They have no eyebrows, no hair, and no body hair.

Pick, Duergar Vicious: A Duergar Vicious Pick is a larger version of the Heavy Pick with serrated blades running along the top, bottom, and both sides of the pick head. The weapon is too large to use in one hand without special training: thus, it is an exotic weapon.

Duergar treat it as a martial weapon for both one-handed and two-handed combat.
