Forest dwarves are truly the most unique of the dwarfs, often not even living in their lands but rather living in solitude in forests or even with other races and groups such as elves and druids. This has made some of then highly dislike the other dwed, which is sometimes mutual, but more often they have at least some friendly connections with the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Seeing a forest dwarf in the dwarven legion is not as rare as one may thing, and tales speak of heroes of forest dwarf origins.
They are often travellers, roaming forests months upon months, meaning they have learned the ways of the forest can can navigate through them with more ease than any other dwarven subrace, even better than some of the main races as well. This of course, may seem brutish, but their dwarven honor and dignity still shine as an example, although their greed sometimes goes other directions that are not gold related.
Physical Attributes
Much like their mountain and cave brothers, forest dwarves are short in stature but unsuprisingly, forest dwarfs tend to be less stocky than mountain and cave dwarves. They seem to be slimmer and more athletically built, but their beards stop growing quite quickly, with some forest dwarves not even growing beards. This though is still quite rare and often shunned in dwarven culture. Their hair however, tends to be much longer than usual. There is one more attribute forest dwarves have that is unlike to their brothers. In the past, those with the blood of the forest dwarves noticed that their skin darkens much more easily compared to other dwarves. Over time, their skin has became brown as dark oak bark, even darker than Southeron skin.
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. This accent sometimes becomes softer due to their time spent with other races, but that is usually not the case. They are also known as dwed of the forest, knowing it unlike any other dwarf or human. This also means their diet has heavily started revolting around fish and berries, which is most likely the reason of their physical change.
Aging
Mountain 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 reffered 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.
Curses
Ibless had not only cursed sons of Urguan by turning them into a short, stout, and an ugly race, but has also enchanced 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.
