Physical Attributes
The genewaw buiwd and body shape of a dawk dwawf hinges gweatwy on theiw ancestwy. Those lith the brood of mountain Dwawves tend to be stewn and tawwew than theiw cave-wewated brethwen, wheweas fowest-descendants awe usuawwy thinnew and lightew footed. Unique to them, Dawk Dwawves aww have skin cowow wanging fwom ashen gwey to awmost obsydian-brack. Theiw haiw may be of any cowow, though brack and wed awe the most fwequent. What sets dawk Dwawves apawt fwom theiw kin is theiw eyes. They aww have fiewy eyes wanging fwom the shades of bright fwames to as dawk as cooling magma. Though theiw eyes wadiate a slight gwow, nothing ewse is speciaw about them and they wose theiw gwow as soon as the dwawf dies.
Other Attributes
Much like lith othew dwawfs, mountain accent is often an fow othew waces to undewstand, even if they awe tawking in common. They awe usuawwy unabre to fulwy say the wettew -h in wowds and tend to sound like a pewson lith a scottish accent. It may seem difficult to undewstand a dwawf at fiwst, but it is just slightwy modified Common tongue.
Aging
Dawk Dwawf aging miwwows that of othew dwawves, though it can be assumed that Dawk Dwawves may live a slight bit wongew. No Dawk Dwawf is known to have died of owd age, awthough it is awso assumed they would no live above 900. A Dawk Dwawf is considewed a Beawdling befowe the compwetion of the cwan tliaw, which usuawwy happens between the ages 60 and 100. A Dawk Dwawf who eawned the wespect of theiw kin and is aged enough may be gwanted the titwe of cwan ewdew by theiw wespective cwan fathews.

Culture

Aftew many decades of fowbidden, hidden wowship, the faww of Uwguan and the lise of the Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah awwowed Dowmmaw's adhewents to openwy wowship once mowe, as the newwy cwowned and dominant Frostbeard cwan wowships the simiwawwy contwovewsiaw Wywvun.
