Hvidtfal

The Hvidtfal, also known as the Whitefall Clan are a proud, though extremly reclusive clan. They where the only clan that had not responded to the summons for defending Karak Bitafjall in the first war. As a result the Hvidtfal are seen as a treasonous. No other dwarf will willingly depend on a Hvidtfalian, but their intelect and planing often leaves them in a position where their foresight make them indespensible for the dwarven kingdom.
