* Stone-Skin Gradient: Duranthi who live near the [[Citadel Mountains]]—especially around [[Kar-Thal]]—tend to develop pronounced geological features, including hardened dermal plates, mineral inclusions, and angular facial structures. Those born or raised farther from the mountains exhibit more human-like skin with subtle stone textures or colorations. This gradient of stoniness is culturally significant and often interpreted as a sign of spiritual proximity and ancestral legitimacy. | * Stone-Skin Gradient: Duranthi who live near the [[Citadel Mountains]]—especially around [[Kar-Thal]]—tend to develop pronounced geological features, including hardened dermal plates, mineral inclusions, and angular facial structures.
