Dwarven Kingdoms are built around clans of powerful families. Dwarven clans are very honor-based and value their ancestors. Dwarves greatly value their clan name, home, traditions and any heirlooms their family passes down. Dwarven families are very closeknit and the worst thing that can happen to a dwarf is to become clanless, disowned from their own family. | Dwarven Kingdoms are built around clans of powerful families.

We all will.” | ||

Dwarf names are often based heavily around their clan name. Dwarves often reuse names from their ancestors, but will avoid doing so if a dwarf ascends to godhood, preferring to create offshoots of that name at that point. | Dwarf names are often based heavily around their clan name.
