An ancient order of elite, venerable Dwarven royal guards. Their order has always protected Durin the Deathless, their king. Durin is a demigod-like dwarf whose spirit, once his body is dead, will eventually return to its body to reign again. The current Durin is Durin IV. The Custodians guard his body when living and when it slumbers. They possess great nobility, wisdom, and ferocity in battle. Deep voice, intimidating, serious. Not comic relief.

Certain lines are in Khuzdul, the language of the Dwarves. Khuzdul is a firm, somewhat harsh language. We don’t have a set pronunciation guide - what matters is that it doesn’t sound like a native English speaker attempting a foreign tongue, but rather more ‘authentic’.

Scottish is the inspirational accent; but again authenticity to the character is more important than accuracy to a true Scottish person's accent.
