Dwarves Ethnicity in Arylon | World Anvil

Dwarves (Dah Warf S)

Greatest smiths in all of Arylon are the stalky dwarves. The medal working skill cannot be matched many mortals. Dwarves can build mighty strongholds and great siege weapons. Kings and queens pay heavy amounts of gold to get their crafts or hire them as smiths for their kingdom or country. The adventuring types who love to travel and seek dangers will probably have a weakness to gold or the drink. Many Dwarven cultures make their own beer and meads. In places like the Greyfield's there is the great Beer Mug competition in Thormeer. Where both Nord and Dwarves compete on the best mead and beer. Even who can drink the most before they pass out.  

Dwarf Clans

There are three Known clans of dwarves.
  • Goldbrime clan - They are miners and craftsman. they live in Redrock mountain in Greyfield's. Their homes are built on and inside mountains. With great halls and the deepest mines. Women will have a taoo on the side of their face and have ponytails with dressing like beads, ribbons and such in them. Women Have NO breads.
  • Red Jaw clan- They are field and hops farmers. they love beer and meads of all types. Their home is typical to that of humans, but usually made of the earth and cob of the local area. Women will have piercing on noses, ears, eyebrows and NO BREADS.
  • Anvil Break clan - They dwell over at the Lion's Fall city in Vostoria. They do what their heart tell them. If they are a family of Craftsman, then that is what they are. If they are field farmers, who raise hops for beer or food for the locals than that is what they are. The portrait below is a perfect example of the typical Anvil Break woman.
