Lineage of the Clans of the Dwarves

Dwarves of the Lands live in extended family/clan structures that can comprise 1000’s of individuals. The Dwarves create settlements wherever there are metals, gems, or other minerals of value to them. These settlements can range from fortified structures built into cliff walls housing scouting groups looking for new deposits, to the vast underground Dwarven cities – the Udhrms – where the leaders of each clan are found, each trying to out-do the others in terms of the grandeur and splendor to be found within. Dwarves in general tend to be highly suspect of other races, and limit the interactions they have. When they do interact, they prefer to do it in the lands of others – they are very careful about who is allowed inside their settlements, worrying about theft, spying, and sabotage. Of course, their history makes such beliefs well-founded – when not fighting amongst themselves, the Dwarves fight continual battles against humans, demi-humans, humanoids, and even have had to repel the occasional Dragon.

Dwarven Clans

Clan Fhÿldrm

Clan Fhyldhrm makes its home in the massive, city-fortress of Fhÿldrmüdhrm, nestled along the eastern slopes of the Iron Mountains that form the western boarder of Athervon. The Great King of Clan Fhÿldrm is currently on good terms with the King of Athervon - while the two kingdoms have had their ups and downs over the years for different reasons, there has been more friendship than animosity. The memory of dwarves is long, however, and while Athervon broke free from their Jhonian overlords nearly a century ago, it has only been within the last decade or two that dwarven merchants and traders have been seen on the roads of Athervon, despite their goods being highly prized and sought-after by humans.

Clan Ïgüzhr

The stronghold of Ulmihrudhurm fell to an unknown foe nearly five hundred years ago. At least two separate dwarven armies have attempted to reclaim & resettle Ulmihrudhrm, but were lost in the attempt. The remnants of Clan Ïgüzhr have dispersed throughout the lands, mostly having settled among other dwarven Houses, although a large number of them can be found on both sides of the mountains that housed their former stronghold (Veniri, B’Narj, and the Haradi Coast). Ulmihrudhurm, once the richest and largest of the dwarven underground cities, it is now but a legend to the human Kingdoms, lying somewhere in the Copperwash Mountains.
