Adulthood

After the Rite of Naming, a dark dwarf returns to his day-to-day life. The life of an adult Khanshael is not easy. It is full of day after day of work in the mines or at the forge. For the warrior castes, scout patrols, guard duty, and skirmishes are regular affairs. For all castes, there is always the necessity for mobilization in wartime, or for duty defending the settlement from enemy attacks.

The life of a dark dwarf is one of continual preparedness. None of the Kin are ever far from a weapon, and they are always ready to defend their lives, and the lives of the clan, by laying down their own lives if needed.
