Charles_Grimlie 1072 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 So right now the plan is that we will be an indiginous population to the new world? Yes something like that, a few pages back I wrote up our plan, I'll try and quote it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles_Grimlie 1072 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 The Cave Dwarves of the new world Features: The Cave Dwarves of Gyial are a complex race of subterrian folk who have near to barely roamed the surface. Due to this, these Dwarves have taken on many unique features, as well as styles upon them. The Dwarves skin itself is a dark grey, to match the stones they work with, it is used as a slight camoflauge from the monsters that have preyed on their kin for many years, another uniqueness upon the Cave Dwarf is their eyes, their eyes have adapted to the pitch darkness of the dark depths and have obtained a interesting ability of acting as a light source. To the trade off of their in ability to roam the surface efficently unless bearing goggles with darkened glass. ((To provide the ability to see in the dark, Cave Dwarves will use the bright setting whilst underground to see, as well as aboveground!)) Culture: The Cave Dwarve's culture is old and traditioned amongst them, they praise a figure called "Earth Mother" who they claim to be their creator, although this is false to the actual true lore, these dwarves have never heard of the god of aeiges, nor have they met many folk from the outside who have ever talked about it. ((These folk really do "live under a rock".)) To add each dwarf has a unique type of ore or crystal that their kin have been named after this acts as a surname of the dwarves. Clothing: As for their clothing, these dwarves prefer to adorn themselves with a type of ore or crystal from their clan. they also prefer darker colors to add a natural flow to their skin, or they may wear the hides of their slain enemies. Emotions: Due to the primary isolation of the Cave Dwarf, they have grown un knowing of the outside world, as well as trust worthy of new things! This is a weakness to their kin for they do not know much of what is occuring. Also Cave Dwarves are extremely greedy to an extent that is may seem un safe to approach one as it hoards a iron vien. Lastly the Cave Dwarves are stubborn and do not like to take on new skills, they prefer to stay with tradition. Lore: Long ago in days before, there lived a being the Cave Dwarves called "Earth Mother" she is an near essence of life. Although not much is known about her true form or what she may truely be, the Cave Dwarves believe her as their creator hence "Mother", It is believed that Earth Mother conjured the first Cave Dwarf from a selection of water, and fire. To bring energy and a source that gives life together she created this dwarf and called it Gurthar. Gurthar quickly bowed towards the Mother and thanked her for her gift of life, the earth mother seemingly selfless as she is, asked Gurthar to collect stone, Gurthar did as she wished. After that she asked him to collect wood, but as Gurthar did so he felt un easy. New and pure, he didn't seem fit in over world that wasn't his birth place. He felt exposed and threatend, he quickly told the earth mother of this tradegy of how he couldn't complete the task. Earth Mother didn't enjoy hearing his words of failure and decided as a type of punishment to take away his sight when exposed to light. Gurthar was thankful to not be able to see such a wretched place again, but pitied himself for being as weak as he was. The Mother quickly summond by some wood for Gurthar and told him to make a tool. Gurthar quickly made a primitive pickaxe which he believe would seem fit for bashing stone, the Earth Mother now pleased with the success of her creation continued to create more, which quickly started assuming roles of miners both of male and female traits. Over time these roles slowly diminished into different roles, the females decided to stay put and create food and items. As the males honed their skills for combat and mining. Though it is not common for a female dwarf to take the roles of a male's and vice versa. After years of developing the Cave Dwarves slowly developed a slight courage of roaming the surface, they ignored Gurthar's warnings and presummed to find a device that could help them see the world above. They slowly created "Goggles" out of the hides of their enemies and a mixture of glass and other concoctions they found in the caves, to create a dark glass to peer through. With these they where able to succesfully roam the surface and obtain the goods they needed, but still the feeling of uncertainty remained in their minds whilst traveling the surface... ((Feed back would be great, if you have any peeves about the lore we can discuss it on this forum thread or using pms. P.S. This lore is based on these dwarves being alone and has been discussed with a few of the people who are part of this idea.)) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles_Grimlie 1072 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 ((Sadly no, but what we could start doing is a petition for the idea. I heard the admins needed some dwarves to be the indigenous population, so we can pitch our idea to them! If all goes well we might have a good chance.))

Akeron 55 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Taking the liberty of presenting a cap/list as suggestion above. Just leave your MC name if you intend on becoming one, and their is a really low chance of you NOT getting in. ------ First Century Dwarven men * Charles_Grimlie (Hopefully our king) * Royced (took the liberty of adding myself, because I intend to) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broski 54 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Is this a Clan or more like a family.. And if you want a Guild house or something in the new world then that will be provided.. Probably, w'll have to figure that out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeron 55 Share Posted November 5, 2011 We will roleplay as natives to the land, more clan then family. I do not know whenever or not we'll accept outsiders, for I myself am just going off what everyone else knows. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
