About Dark Dwarven
Same physique as other Dwarves, however they have gunmetal gray skin and whitish-silver or copper-colored hair. Dark Dwarven is VSO with adjectives before nouns. (There's speculation that Dark Dwarven is actually older/closer to the "ancient tongue" of Dwarves and Gnomes, than High-Dwarven is)
