Dwarves: good at being blacksmiths

yeah, but is that innate, or just a cultural thing

it's like how stereotypically, elves love the forest, while dwarves love being underground; but maybe that's not so much innate inclination as just being comfortable in your childhood home. you gotta wonder how it turns out if, say, a family of dwarves adopts an elf (and the elf isn't pressured to conform to traditional elf norms). does the elf grow up dissatisfied, restless, yearning for nature and sunlight? or does he grow up, like his siblings, to be a boss blacksmith with a moderate case of agoraphobia?

Dwarves are innately better at living underground than elves or humans because their short height means the tunnels they must dig don't have to be as large. It's a huge evolutionary advantage. Digging tunnels still requires good tools, so the dwarves sexually selected for excellent blacksmithing. Dwarf pornography involves basically nothing except women stretched out over anvils.
