However as soon as a Dwarf leaves the mountains and goes to lowland altitudes they begin to suffer, the air is too thick and the temperature to warm, and the food too spicy. Thats why being sent into exile down the mountain is considered a punishment and to be avoided. Its only because of their legendary endurance the Dwarfs continue functioning at low altitidues, however they also tend to be taciturn, grumpy and prone to drinking to get through a day.</blockquote>
