Looking to play a dwarf...

[Metamancy 1767]

Okay. I'm gonna say it. I wanna play a dwarf.

They just seem so strong and so cool and so based. But I have no idea how dwarf culture works, or how to make one with a reasonable backstory. I'm willing to play any sort of dwarf; a child, a family member, a friend, that random guy you see in the background. I just need someone to introduce me to the culture and how the whole thing works. You can DM me on discord (ovo.ovo.ovo.ovo) or on the forums, or just reply to this post. Thanks.

tbh, ive no idea if im playing my dorf correctly, ive kinda been doing my thing the whole time and its been working out so far.
Sorta just made the character and went with the flow, been going steady for 2 years now on Obok Metaldrinks.

Im sure the others will be interested in giving you a tour and the culture spiel about the Brathmordakin and traditions.
Best of luck on your adventure in the ''under 5ft tall club''.

My best suggestion is to check out some of the Dwarf Family Lore pages and figure out which family fits you best. Doomforged, Starbreakers, Silverbraids, Irehearts. All are great families.

Small, greedy mountain men cultured in mining, craftsmanship, and fine jewelry trades. Just watch The Hobbit and analyze the Company of Thorin Oakenshield.

If you go through with this, you’re about to make the best decision of your life.

I’ll give you a brief introduction on dwarven culture and society.

 

Basically, Dwarves live under the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Our Kingdom is a Clan-based elective-monarchy, where the clans come together and vote on the position of ‘Grand King,’ the leader of our realm.

 

As I said, Dwarves are split into clans, some focused on warfare such as Irehearts, others based off of magic like Ironguts and others based off of smithing and masonry like Starbreakers. Don’t think that you are restricted when you make a dwarf, fore there are plenty of clans to accommodate your niche desires.

 

Lastly, Dwarves follow the faith of the Brathmordakin. A pantheon of deities where Yemekar (the creator) is at the head. I would personally say that this faith is similar to a form of Judaism mixed with a multitude of pagan beliefs.

 

Playing a dwarf ain’t too complicated, and don’t feel like you need to play a generic warrior-alcoholic. Do as you will, fore there will be plenty to guide you

Hey bro! I assume you've been told the lore already by now, but if u want u can play my characters son/daughter (now around 80 years old so not that young). My character is a soul golem btw so interesting rp to be had there, most of their story is still up to u cuz of how its set up 👀

dwarves dont rp greed enough on LotC, at least not from what I've seen (This is even true for Goldhands...)

That could be said for most races today, which is unfortunate because curses create the perfect atmosphere for the role-play it's meant to serve.
