The Stonemace Clan

[TJBMinecraft 821]

 

The Stonemace Clan

 

The Stonemace Clan is a mountain dwarf clan, some members of the clan originally hailed from the Frostbeard Clan. Dwedmar coming from the Stonemace Clan are known for utmost loyalty to the Kingdom they serve.

 

Founded by Throri 'Warmheart’ Stonemace during the fifth age and later reestablished by Throri in the sixth age. The Stonemaces follow a multitude of different patron gods, however like many other clans around them they follow Dungrimm as their main Patron God.

 

History

 

The Fifth Age (Axios)

The origin of the Clan can be traced all the way back to the Fifth Age and the Frostbeard Clan, when its founder, Throri ‘Warmheart’ Stonemace, was banished from the Kingdom of Kaz’Ulrah. Throri would return to the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, the Kingdom he used to serve but ended up fighting against the, swearing an oath of fealty towards him with the other members who left with him. After a few months of living in Urguan, Throri formed the Stonemace Clan, welcoming all banished Frostbeards and normal dwarves alike into his halls.

 

As the clan started to grow and grow, Throri got challenged to an honour duel by his own son, Edel Frostbeard. Throri was winning the duel at first, disarming him and bringing his son to the ground. However this advantage did not last, once Throri cut into his son's face Edel went berserk pummeling his father's face in with his own bare hands. Whilst most of the Frostbeards who watched the duel called for Throri’s death, Edel spared his life leaving him with the shame of being defeated by a younger dwarf.

 

A few months after Throri’s defeat, Edel called an unrightful meeting with all the members of the clan. Throri turned up to the meeting with Charles the Bald, the Grand Champion of Urguan, by his side. Upon entering the meeting area, Throri noticed that only one Stonemace, Kerwyr II, was in the meeting whilst several Frostbeards were there instead. The meeting did not go well, just as Throri thought it would, with Edel claiming that he was the rightful leader of the clan as he defeated his father in battle. However this claim would be illegitimate as raised up by Throri in the meeting, even though this point was raised Edel would would held a vote which he ended up winning, stealing the members of the clan, and practically the clan itself renaming it the Silvervein Clan.

 

Even with the Grand Legion of Urguan's backing it was impossible for Throri to take his clan back as Edel, later nicknamed Edel 'The Illegitimate’ by Charles The Bald, took the clan to the Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah.

 

After vanishing for several years, Throri returned to Kal'Omith bearing new golden armour of the Stonemace Clan, reforming the clan once again when Urguan needed help the most. However this did not last long as even with Throri's help during the War of the Beards, Urguan was severely outnumbered by Kaz'Ulrah and it's allies finally being destroyed and the Stonemace Clan alongside it.

 

The Sixth Age (Atlas)

Upon arriving on the shores of Atlas, Throri 'Warmheart’ Stonemace reformed the Clan once more. The Stonemace's searched high and low for a place to settle finally arriving at a mounting, building their keep into it and naming it Tal’Umrol.

Appearance

Just like the Frostbeards, the Stonemaces tend to have jet black hair, although fiery red or hazelnut brown hair is not uncommon in the clan either. Stonemaces tend to have chilling blue or emerald green eyes. Like the rest of the Mountain Dwarves Stonemaces tend to be taller, averaging around 4ft-4’5ft, and bulkier than the other dwarves.

 

Personality

Stonemaces hold honour with utmost esteem within the clan. They will usually hold true to their word and never go back on an oath or deal unless they're a sheer dwarf. This however does not mean that they cannot be rude and stern, for if their honour is disputed or disrespected they will most likely be engulfed in a grudge.

 

Even though on the outside they might appear to be stern and unfriendly, they are usually the opposite, at least to friends that is. Be on the good side of a Stonemace and they could turn out to be the best of friends or even allies. However if you turn on one and make him/her your enemy and he/she can be the most ferocious enemy you could ever have.

 

The Stonemace kinsmen are loyal to the Kingdom they serve and their fellow descendants of Urguan, but they have the utmost respect and loyalty to their clan and their kinsmen. If one Stonemace is offended or attacked, then you have offended and attacked the entire clan. If you befriend one then you befriend the entire clan. The Stonemaces will always work together to better their clan  and kinsmen.

 

Stonemaces are impeccable fighters, tuning their battle prowess most of their lives and partaking in brawls, friendly duels and even tournaments as often as they can to hone their skills on the battlefield. In turn they find fighting a crucial part of life that is never ignored. They are none to be one of the most skilled fighters in the whole of the dwarven race, second best to the Frostbeards, Grandaxes and Irehearts. It is said that seeing a Stonemace on the battlefield is like a lion savagely mauling its prey.

 

Stonemaces are also known to be renown partakers in luxary and socially life. They love to eat, drink ale and gamble. A Stonemace will never turn down an opportunity to do all three.

 

Trials

All Stonemaces must partake in their trials before they may ascend from being a beardling to a fully fledged member of the Clan. The first task in the trials is for the beardling to take a singular journey up the mountains for a few stone days to a whole stone week, surviving with the skills they were taught to truly become themselves and find out who they really are.

 

Upon their return the beardling is sent off once again to hunt for a weapon, be it an axe or sword, however this weapon may not be made from any dwarven forge or any dwarven materials. Upon finding a weapon the beardling must return to the Clan Father or Clan Elder to inspect it. After the inspection is complete the last task may be complete.

 

On the day of their final trial, they shall journey to the nearest bear cave, armed with nothing but the weapon they forged and the simplest of their clothes. Their task to track down a great bear or direwolf and slay it, then proceed to skin it's pelt and bring it back to their Clan Father.

 

When the beardling returns, the Stonemaces gather and the Clan Father and Elders inspect the pelt. They study it and decide whether the pelt the beardling acquired is worthy enough of becoming a true Dwarf amongst their kinsmen.

 

If the pelt is deemed a high enough quality, the final step of the ceremony is lighting a gigantic bonfire. The Clan Father would walk to the beardling, placing the pelt onto their shoulders. “Narvak Oz Dungrimm” the Clan Father would bellow out later being echoed by the Beardling afterwards.

 

Once the pelt has been placed upon the fully fledged dwarves shoulders, the Clan Father would give the Dwarf his signatory tattoo, which is unique to the dwarf it was given to. They then will be given a clan nickname such as 'Warmheart’ or 'Valiant’ to identify themselves based on their characteristics.

 

Clan Oath

I will never compromise the clan,

I shall always help my fellow brothers in arms,

I shall never question the acts of the Clan Father or my Elders,

I shall always sacrifice my life for the rest of my clans safety,

I shall always respect and do things the Clan Father tells me to do.
