Gray Dwarves/The Forgotten

Under Construction!
Appearance: Complicating matters further are the Forgotten, dwarves left behind during the dwarven exodus referred to by the name The Long Climb, these unfortunate creatures mutated from centuries of isolation. Their skin is a dark black, ashy color, while their hair has gone white, and their eyes are either completely white or utterly black. Referred to as Gray Dwarves by non-dwarves, they are pitied and hated by their fellow dwarves, who assert that the gray dwarves actually gave into the darkness. The truth is less certain, as the Gray Dwarves are hostile to outsiders and are rarely seen above ground.
Left Behind during the Long Climb, these deep dwarves have darker, ash like skin, dark eyes, and white hair. Mysterious, and alien, they refuse all contact with their kin and Drow alike. Known as collectors, and occasional mercenaries, they retreat deeper underground once they have acquired what they seek.
