==The Dwarven Clans ==
'''By Arishar Hildmordh '''

With the passing of time, even those as hardy
as the very earth from which Kertigen gave us life
must change, and with change there are many things,
even those ingrained so deeply within us, that bear
the risk of being forgotten.

It is against this that I commit these brief
passages of our clans to written form, in the hopes
that in the coming days, those of whom I happily call
kin will rememeber their place in the society we have
all worked so hard to preserve. It is also my hope
that before our father calls me home to spend my days
drinking divine ale and mining riches beyond dreams,
that I can put more into words of our history and
ways. Let this book not be the end of what once was,
but the continuing of what is, and forever will be,
so long as we walk upon the lands beneath the loving
eyes of our creator.

By my hand,
Arishar Hildmordh - Loyal historian and kinsman.

==1. Stone Clan - Staan Stok ==
Much more trusting of outsiders, Stone clan has
thrived despite its many hardships in recent years
due to aid from from the various civilized areas
settled nearby. Members of Stone Clan find a
penchant and skill for a multitude of abilities, from
forging to combat, mining and brewing. Choosing to
be nothing less than prepared at all times, they keep
busy by constantly training any and all who come
seeking knowledge, so that none will ever forget
their place within the realms. In keeping with their
ability to thrive among the races, they brew several
variances of ales, from strong fruit-flavored ales,
to dark, bitter brews obviously made in reverence to
the Dwarven palate.

==2. Rose Clan - Knarn Stok ==
Open only to unwed females of suitable age,
members loyal to Rose clan choose to take no sutors
and remain celibate members of the community and
spend their life in universal service. Members of
this clan claim that on occasion they receive visions

of the Rose Maiden herself, and tout supposed
prophetic abilities from time to time.

The history of the "Rose Maiden" for which this
clan was named is largely unknown in its entirety.
What is known is that the Kwarlog Dwarves discovered
the body of a maiden, dead but perfectly preserved,
lying on a stone slab at the bottom level of a series
of caverns. Gathered in her hands, upon her breast,
was a rose-- carved so extraordinarily from white
stone, that it seemed bedewed. Before the Dwarves
could do more than observe this in wonder, however,
several Biters appear, driving them back up through
their tunnels. To make matters worse, the lower
portion of the tunnels collapsed, burying the Biters
and the rose-bearing maiden. Centuries later,
Cordhvirae Stonesekker, claiming to have dreamt of
the Rose Maiden decreed that she and three other
maidens will not accept suitors at the coming of age,
instead remaining celibate and in universal service
to the community.

Others later followed Cordhvirae, even after her own
death, and it was they that became the Rose Clan.

==3. Hammer Clan - Hamar Clan ==
Miners and treasure seekers are the people of
Hammer Clan. Extensively searching out an area
before settling, they seek to find lands rich in ores
and minerals. Before ever willingly leaving their
lands, they will delve deeply, taking as much of the
riches they believe left to them by Kertigen as
possible, and if forced to leave, their skill in
mining makes them able to close off any possible
chance of using the mines again. Their skill with
brewing often returns a dark, heady, bland ale with a
strong after-taste reminscent of dried herbs.

==4. Axe Clan - Bardh Stok ==
Weaponsmiths and builders, members of this clan
are often called upon for their craftsmanship and
attention to detail. It's often said that it was Axe
Clan that lent their fine eye to much of the original
construction of Throne City, much of which has
withheld the ravages of time, standing in testament
to their craftsmanship. While the mysteries of
brewing are held in high regard by most dwarves, Axe
Clan brew often has a sharp biting flavor tinted with
the sweetened touch of honey and almonds.

==5. Biter Clan - Grimis Stok ==
Members of Biter Clan tend to exhibit a
preference for not just living underground, but
deeper than many would find comfortable. They prefer
the wilder, less civilized areas and because of this,
become fierce defenders of their brethren and their
territory. Not quite nomadic in nature, members of
this clan settle and form a recognized territory,
seeking to live in harmony with the surroundings,
moving only when life becomes stagnant or easy going.
"Luxury is for the timid -- it makes the body weak,
and mind as dull as forge smoke". Though often
forced to vary the recipe for a good ale, their skill
with brewing rivals that of the "softer" clans with
what they call "Grimis Mluk". Resembling the color
and consistancy of tar, the dark, thick liquid has a
suprisingly smooth flavor and lingering scent of
mushrooms. Its effects however are quite strong, and
not for those with a light constitution.

==6. Ghost Clan - Drawg Stok ==
Moving silently throughout the lands, ever
watchful for danger to their silent way of life,
members of this clan choose to remain soley among

their own kind, choosing very rarely to interact with
members of other clans, or of other races. This clan
is much more nomadic than any other, harboring a
great suspicion of outsiders, and should their home
ever be discovered, often it will vanish without so
much as a whisper, and never seen again. Despite
leaving little representation of their existence,
being Dwarves, their nature still calls for a good
ale. Simply called "Drawg", the thick, pale ale is
brewed from dried herbs and bark from the blackfruit
tree. Aged in casks of deobar buried deep
underground, it is believed that no draught of this
somber drink is tasted before it is at least a
century old.
