Altariel_Alfakyn 8 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I love the tattooing idea, although I may be a bit biased... But I know my character got his tattoos as a right of passage in his home village. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supertimmy4ever 19 Share Posted March 22, 2012 i also think we need to work on the century dwarves, like how they talk, act,dress and how you know that they are from that century in basic. we also need a strict time line on how you can see who is a first,s secon, or third century dwarf. also Longbeard is a political dwarf, so are some more and i think we need to have some reasons why dwarves want to get into politics.

aokavery 21 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Religion should definitely be mentioned here. My character is exploring a personal faith of Dwarven faith where he follows "God" whose words are entailed by his prophet and Messiah, Uruguan. Uruguan's words and actions are echoed by the Paragons, who reflect the qualities of Uruguan and therefore God. He spends his time indulging in his faith, either through educating others of his faith, feasting and fighting in the name of Uruguan, God, and the Paragons, and meditating at shrines to the Paragons and Gods. I'd also like to mention the Dwarven way of combat, as while we enjoy fighting, we don't fight savagely like orcs. Rather we fight with diplomacy, words and planned tactics, utilizing our Dwarven unity, traditions, and intellect along with our muscle to crush our foes. I think you have a point about the religion thing, but I personally love the post Tryion mad and love the polytheistic form of religion. I feel that it fits both the time period that we rp in and fits the dwarves quite well. It's so well done that I think we need to do some more with it.

Charles_Grimlie 1072 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 What do you guys think about having dwarves take on a more hooded or helmeted appearence? I believe it would be a good way to explain how we are able to move in and out if the city quickly without adjusting to the light first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broski 54 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I like that. Be hooded and vanish as Dwarves to the public, act like humans and be disguised if your are meeting other races. Maybe something like that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arbrek the Ancient 140 Share Posted March 23, 2012 That's almost like we're hiding, though. We should be proud of our race, and show it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supertimmy4ever 19 Share Posted March 23, 2012 i agree with arbrek, we are a proud race! we need to have massive beards, gold clothing and skulls of killed enemys, just to show it of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
no longer active 734 Share Posted March 23, 2012 We should have no helms! We are dwarves and helms hide our beards! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles_Grimlie 1072 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 We will have no helmets, but as discribed the death masks only cover the face, the beard is capable of flowing freely... I will add a image for a example. The classic war hammer dwarf http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs8/i/2005/287/1/5/Dwarf_by_WEASELPOO.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles_Grimlie 1072 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 *COUGHHACK*No, that's an elite Ironbreaker!*COUGHHACK* All that matters is the beard! But yes, hoods for out side and also masks for war, funerals or praise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
no longer active 734 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I would agree if our helmets were like that. Otherwise it wouldn't fit our RP very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saviordude 133 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I like the idea of building culture, but it seems biased towards Cave Dwarves. "Oh no Saviticus, not this time!" You might be saying. "I am NOT going to cater to your Forest Dwarf obs!ession by working on TWO cultures!" Well no need to worry for I, Saviticus Irongut, shall spend countless nights forging the society of the Forest Dwarves. And when I am done, it shall be so cool, so awesome, so RADICAL, that players shall flock to the server to play as one You're welcome :3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles_Grimlie 1072 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 But... Forest dwarves are a myth? Arn't they >.> But if you like you can do so, but we are trying to remove our sub racial biasis so we can live as one community with more interests towards the kingdom than the individual player's needs, or wants.

no longer active 734 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Personally I think sub races should only be based on what you enjoy doing and have no physical effect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
