Dark Dwarves were originally born from the unlikely union of dark elves and the various dwarven sub-races. They have a skin color ranging from ashen grey to coal black, eyes that seem to glow with a fiery hue and any hair colour native to the dwarves. Dark Dwarves delve in the depths of Dwarven holds to tend their forges and to study the alchemical and arcane arts.

Physical Attributes
The general build and body shape of a dark dwarf hinges greatly on their ancestry. Those with the blood of mountain Dwarves tend to be stern and taller than their cave-related brethren, whereas forest-descendants are usually thinner and lighter footed. Unique to them, Dark Dwarves all have skin color ranging from ashen grey to almost obsydian-black. Their hair may be of any color, though black and red are the most frequent. What sets dark Dwarves apart from their kin is their eyes. They all have fiery eyes ranging from the shades of bright flames to as dark as cooling magma. Though their eyes radiate a slight glow, nothing else is special about them and they lose their glow as soon as the dwarf dies.
Other Attributes
Much like with other dwarfs, mountain accent is often an for other races to understand, even if they are talking in common. They are usually unable to fully say the letter -h in words and tend to sound like a person with a scottish accent. It may seem difficult to understand a dwarf at first, but it is just slightly modified Common tongue.
Aging
Forest dwarfs develop in the same rate as humans do, but they tend to live up to 900 years more than humans, sometimes even longer than that depending on the dwarf. Before dwarfs live through their first 100 years, they are often referred to as Beardlings, though this may differ from the achievements of a dwarf in young age or if the dwarf is new to the community (In which case, a dwarf may be 300 years old but he could still be referred to as a beardling by some dwarfs that may be even younger than him) Although they live for centuries, you can’t find a elder dwarf in every corner. Many dwarfs die due to mining accidents or during his work, but this is a less common case with the Forest dwarves due to their area of living. It is also important to note that after 600 years, a dwarf may start feeling weak under the pressure of his years, making him less capable with physical work. This of course, does not weaken his mind, but rather makes it sharper.
Curse
Ibless had not only cursed sons of Urguan by turning them into a short, stout, and an ugly race, but has also enhanced their greed, which has costed them many precious lives and relics. Luckily, the Creator has blessed the dwed with a strong heart, and a sturdy body, and a sharp mind. This blessing has turned dwarfs into a proud and a resistant race that has lasted centuries.

Religion
Dark Dwarves generally adhere to the worship of the Brathmordakin, though the Doomforged also revere the Flesh-smith, Dormmar. Not much is known about Dormmar, and the Doomforged are not likely to discuss his legacy anytime soon. His worship, however, has been controversial in the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. After many decades of forbidden, hidden worship, the fall of Urguan and the rise of Kaz'Ulrah allowed Dormmar's adherents to openly worship once more, as the newly crowned and dominant Frostbeard clan worships the similarly controversial Wyrvun.
History
Dark Dwarves appeared through the inter-mingling of Dark Elves and dwarves over the ages. The most famous of them, the Doomforged, were three children of the Paragon Urir Ireheart.
