The Towerguard Clan

The Towerguard Clan are soldiers who are responsible for guarding the Vale of Deepdale which is the entrance to the Valley of Dwarfhome. Unlike the other great clans of Bergen, they do not dwell in the dwarven town. Some say it is because the original founder of the clan enjoyed having power over the region, he wanted to be the king of Bergen himself.
The clan is also one of the largest clans and they are known to accept almost any prospective member. Those who are fleeing the law in Bergen often seek refuge in the clan. Many of the other clans joke that the Towerguard Clan would even accept other races into their ranks.
Out of all the clans they are most open to relationships with other races. They view it as a way to gain more power.
