---==<Frostbeard Clan>==--

[Rhewen 361]

FROSTBEARD CLAN

 

*You open a dusty book that you find hidden inside a chest*

Clan Colors: Cyan, Blue, Dark grey

 

Kin Appearance: Black hair and peircing Blue/cyan eyes. Pale skin. Beards often braided and clasped, and very well kept. They have bushy eyebrows to warm the eyes. They tend to wear furs and leather, though, when given the chance, they would plate armor rather than studded or chain.

 

Clan Culture: Frostbeards are more barbaric than most other clans, since the Fatherhood of Rhewen Frostbeard, they have declined from there main goal of wealth, but instead, intimidation, while they will always enjoy wealth, gems, and gold, it is no longer their first priority. Frostbeards still tend to take place in the government, and love to have some say in what the nation does, it is usually rare that the elders of the clan care for politics. Frostbeards tend to like cold climates, and are not as effected by it as other dwarves are, this is because we were born and bred in the cold.

 

---==<Trial of  the Bear>==---

Once the young Frostbeard comes of age in the clan, the elders send him away into the snowy wild, the dwarf is not to come back until he slays and skins a bear, he shall come back wearing the pelt of the bear and blue warpaint upon his face, the Dwarf will be sent into a room and is judged by the elders as they observe the pelt and his worn body. Then a feast of boar and deer meat is held, where the finest clan ale is drunk and the finest maidens are presented as a marriage partner. It is very honorable if the dwarf would return with a scar, this would prove his strength and warriorship. If the pelt is large and the scar is deep, then the dwarf has the opportunity to be Thane or Bearserk.

Finally there is a grand bonfire where we sing the song of the Frost, as the dwarves sing the song, the clan father steps forward toward the Initiate and he places his hands on his shoulders and he screams "BARUK KHAZAD!" and the young dwarf replies "KHAZAD AI-MENU!".

 

Song of the frost

 

The winter comes,

The frost is near,
We will stand here, stout as stone
To show you the way home

(Chanting: Home, Home, Its time to come to home)

It's time to sing the song, aye lad
It's time to sing the song
We will sing with you, aye lad
To show you the way home.

(Chanting: Home, Home, Its time to come to home)

Now the time has come, aye lad.
Go unto the halls.
Tell the brothers of the bear
That we have brought you home.

 

Song for Burials

 

Long after the winter comes,
And the frost is gone,
We will stand here, stout as stone
To show you the way home
(Chanting: Home, Home, Its time to go to home)
It's time to sing the song, aye lad
It's time to sing the song
We will sing with you, aye lad
To show you the way home.
(Chanting: Home, Home, Its time to go to home)
Now the time has come, aye lad.
Go unto the halls.
Tell the fathers of the dwarves.
That we have sent you home.

 

---==<Burial Ritual>==---

 

At burial time, we Frostbeards do not bury our children in Tombs of stone for them to rot through eternity, we lay a plinth of pine and burn the body, so there soul may travel to the heavens, like the smoke and ashes that follow.

 

---==<The Bearserks>==---

The greatest of the clan warriors are selected to become Bearserks. The Bearserks are of the line of Rhewen and are the greatest of warriors, they generally wear there pelts of the bears they killed in they're trial. The young dwarf is selected for this grand honor during after-trial inspection, when the Elders view the dwarf and observe his attributes. The Bearserk is the highest Honor in Clan Frostbeard.

Rules of the Clan: Respect your clan father and elders at all costs. You are to treat every kin with respect and aide each other in times of trouble. You are not to steal, harm, or betray any of your kin or strict punishment will be dealt. All members of the clan are to contribute to the clans wealth and supply. If you are called to arms, then you will grab your weapon and march to battle. If you are given a task, then you will not stop until the task has been completed.

 

OOC Clan Rules: Please be active in the clan and obey the rules. If you are wanting to join the clan, then please, make sure the skin has Blue eyes and grey, black, or white hair, this helps much with distinction, and really helps with the lore, as we are well known for our piercing eyes and jet black hair. Also, when choosing a name for your frostbeard character, please, make sure it sounds fairly similar to father's name, prefering it starts with RH 

 

Clan Lore

The Frostbeards were a group of Dwarves who lived buried deep within the mountains of Aegis, they were not very well known nor did they want to be, they admired their culture and traditions and how they lived.. but soon a group of travellers came into their village seeking refuge and shelter from the unforgiving snow storm, the Frostbeards generously opened their doors and sheltered the cold and hungry travellers, but those travellers were soon to cause a lot of havoc… the travellers thanked them for their generosity and asked if they could purchase a house in the village for their goods that they were selling, the Frostbeards gave them the houses without hesitation, but they were not to know their intentions about the future of the Frostbeards.



After the newly settled travellers stayed inside of Jornheim within their homes, the town slowly grew more and more hostile towards each other.. the people begin to fight over prices of food and minerals, they began arguing with each other and picking sides.. soon without the knowledge of the Jarl the town was to become divided into two sides, one being the Domnu's and one being the Dechtire's, both sides were evenly matched and had around the same number of supporters but what did they support was the question that no one asked, the travellers had corrupted the minds of the innocent civilians of the town of Jornheim causing a civil war to take place inside the mighty walls of the Jornheim town.. it was to be a massacre that was never forgotten.



The Jarl grew anxiously worried of the actions of his people towards each other, he drew his attention towards his mercenaries who were to go and restore order within the town and bring all this chaos to a halt, but the mercenaries misinterpreted the orders of the Jarl and instead caused more havoc by threatening the civilians and warning them about their actions telling them the severe consequences, this stirred up the tension even more as now the Jarl was being targeted as well by his own people. The travellers watched as the town grew more and more angry with each other and then the travellers slowly slipped away as if they were never their, the town was then brought to the centre by the Jarl where they were to negotiate on terms the Jarl did not approve of..



The Domnu's wanted to be separated from the Dechtire's and wanted a wall between the town separating it in half, the Dechtire's however wanted to take a more aggressive approach towards the situation and said they wanted to burn down all the Dechtire houses, but then the Jarl shouted at the top of his lungs " Silence " as the town quickly comprehended and grew quiet. The Jarl then asked the people " Why, Why dae ye want tae fite each otherr! why! " no one had an answer to that as the crowd slowly started mumbling and talking between each other, but before they could stop a arrow was fired from the watch tower hitting the Jarl in the heart, as he fell down from the tower in the town centre landing in the middle of his people, his blood pouring down from the back of his head rushing down the street towards the sewers, the people watched in horror as a loud voice shouted " The Domnu's did it! " causing the Domnu's to take out their sword's and stand defensively as the Dechtire's gathered around them shouting " Death! ", " Aye death tae tha wee bastardsh! ".. the voices echoed as a dark figure stood on the watch tower over-seeing all this with a slight grin on his face, a civil war had started.



The Domnu's quickly charged to their side of the town where they had stayed and armed themselves in a defensive manor, and the Dechtire's did the same but they were rushing towards the Domnu's charging at them with everything they had, blood everywhere the Jarl's body was hidden within the tower of dead Domnu's and Dechtire's * The sun slowly begins to rise * as their is no one left inside the town, the stone had turned from grey.. to red their were nearly 3 people left alive from the bloodshed, but by the looks of things seemed as if they won't have much longer… the town was now empty.



Asulon



In the lands of Asulon, the Frostbeards plunged to their lowest point in terms of honor and strength, and later on their highest point in honor, strength, and power. Right after the arrival to the sanctuary of Asulon, many of the Frostbeards split apart. Karl Frostbeard, the clan father at the time, did everything in his power to reunite the scattered Frostbeards but to no avail, soon after Karl the Orcbane vanished, not a single Dwarf knowing what became of him. Years later several Frostbeards banded together and returned to Karik, reuniting under the clan name under the leadership of Clan Father Liam Frostbeard. This was truly a new era for the Frostbeard, for the better and for the worse.



Many years had passed by and the Frostbeards, who had ended up taking up residence in Alras, decided to mend the tensions between the clan and the Dwarven Nation, returning to their original roots. The Frostbeards did not return to the Nation empty handed, they returned with an entire Kingdom in their grasp and granted ownership of it towards the Nation of Karik. During this time the Frostbeards had created a marriage bond with the Goldhands, living under their wing in the times in which they struggled. It was around this time when Goruk ‘ The Great ‘ Frostbeard, son of Karl the Orcbane Frostbeard, had returned to the remaining Frostbeard, taking them and leading them to glory. He had led them in many battles, returning the Frostbeards to their former glory in terms of power and strength. It was around this time where the Frostbeards took a plot of land in the Nation of Karik, creating a stronghold that will be told in tavern tales for many years to come. The Frostbeards had the mina, the power, and the strength to stop living under the Goldhands wing, so they did exactly that and took up their rightful birth name once more, living under their own traditions and teachings.



Years later, after the three holds had mended under one Kings rule once more, the Frostbeards had risen to take up council positions within the Kingdom and restore the glory of the Dwarves. Chief Goruk the Great had become Lord Marshal of the Dwarves, and Gorum Frostbeard had become the High Ambassador of the Dwarves. Goruk was known as the Dwarf who restored the Legion from the shards it was left in by the previous Lord Marshal, Grimloth Irongut. The Legion was restored to its former glory entirely, leading the Dwarves into a new era of power, wealth, and ever expanding land conquered by the power of the Legion, all under the leadership of Goruk. As time passed by, tensions began to rise between Lord Marshal Goruk and King Hiebe Irongut. Goruk and the Frostbeards had tensions with Hiebe and the Ironguts, tensions that have been contained until now. Goruk and Gorum fully attempted to overthrow Hiebe,  not in any dishonourable way though. The way they wished to go about it was entirely within the Dwarven constitution, a re-election of some sort. The Frostbeards had the full backing of the council members, but when it came time to vote the council members had backed away and betrayed the Frostbeards trust. Both Gorum Frostbeard, and Goruk Frostbeard stepped down from the Military and Diplomatic positions and had taken a leave from the Dwarves for quite some time.



It is common belief that the Frostbeards are not good merchants, but they are on par with the Goldhands, if not better at some points. In both Aegis, Asulon, and currently Anthos they have been the richest Dwarven clan. It is the Frostbeard tradition to maintain wealth that has been acquired through hard work and labour.



Anthos



Many years had passed, and Goruk the Great had vanished in similar fashion to the disappearance of Karl the Orcbane. Liam Frostbeard, former Clan Father, had returned to the Frostbeards for a brief amount of time before returning to his hunt. Upon arrival to the new lands, the Frostbeards had once again taken positions of authority within the Dwarven Kingdom, this time they have no quarrels with the reigning King. Karl Frostbeard & Gorum Frostbeard had become two of the five Lords of the Dwarves, directly under King Omithiel, and Moruk Frostbeard had become the Grand Merchant. It was also around this time that King Omithiel had proposed to Moiruh Frostbeard, making her the future Queen of the Kingdom of Urguan.



The Kingdom of Urguan began to prosper under the rule of King Omithiel, and the Frostbeards began to prosper as well. They had kept to their tradition of remaining and maintaining the title of the richest clan, but the same could not be said in terms of power and strength. The Frostbeards were leaderless, lost, and near the brink of a second collapse. An unexpected arrival happened during this crisis, it was the second coming of Clan lord Karl ‘Orcbane’ the Great Frostbeard. A new era was to unfold in the lands of Anthos as it did in the lands of Asulon, an era where there is no rise and fall for the Frostbeards, there will only be ascension. The frostbeards lived a peaceful life for years still carrying on the traditions and creating a wealthy flow of income but as time passed they all started going their seperate ways until the Frostbeards compeltey vanished. As the frostbeards started dying out, a dwarf by the name Gamle Irongut took his Child Vulkin Irongut who has the blood of a frostbeard running through his veins into hiding. With Vulkin Irongut hidden away from the world, he learned about the dwarven goverment, Combat, reading and writing in secret so when the day came that the frostbeards were no more, he could return and Revive the Frostbeards once more and lead them to greatness. Time Passed and no word from any frostbeard was heard leaving Gamle to the Conclusion that they were no more and Informed Vulkin that he was to take all he had learn growing up and use it to Lead the Frostbeards to greatness once more and truly leave behind a legacy that he could be proud of. With this Vulkin removes the name Irongut and replaces it with Frostbeard and takes of the Title of the Clan Father and begins to send word to every corner of Anthos calling to all Frostbeards to return to aide him in reviving the clan.

 

The Fringe

The Frostbeards Dwindled greatly leaving the only recorded members being Gorum Frostbeard, Rhewen Frostbeard, and Maeltone Frostbeard. The Frostbeards Didn't take any part in political power and were slow in the growing of wealth, thus no important or notable actions or events happened in the Fringe.

 

Thales

Rhewen Frostbeard, the last remaining of the clan, came out of Hiding and reestablished the clan. While Gorum Frostbeard joined the Blackfist clan, leaving the clan to his brother, Rhewen.
