Dwarf Culture (Ooc) {Wip}

[Altariel_Alfakyn 8]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Broski 54]

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

[Arbrek the Ancient 140]

That's almost like we're hiding, though. We should be proud of our race, and show it.

[Supertimmy4ever 19]

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.

We should have no helms! We are dwarves and helms hide our beards!

[Charles_Grimlie 1072]

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.

All that matters is the beard! But yes, hoods for out side and also masks for war, funerals or praise.

[no longer active 734]

I would agree if our helmets were like that. Otherwise it wouldn't fit our RP very well.

[Saviordude 133]

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

[Charles_Grimlie 1072]

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]

Personally I think sub races should only be based on what you enjoy doing and have no physical effect.
