Player Guide: Dwarves โ€” Forging Your Legend


Why Play a Dwarf?

Dwarves are resilient, honorable, and driven by deep traditions (or determined to defy them). Whether you're a stoic smith, a wandering philosopher, or a gold-souled tactician, playing a dwarf means wielding willpower like a forgehammer.

  • Do you uphold your clanโ€™s legacy? or forge a new one?
  • Do you hoard, spend, or protect sacred gold?
  • Is your soul metal a burden, or your guiding star?

  1. What metal is your soul made from?
  2. What clan or company do you hail from?
  3. Do you follow dwarven traditions or reject them?
  4. What does gold mean to you?
