We shall be stronger sleeping than awake

"Hmph." says the Yemekar's Pick of Urguan, situated in a fine, comfortable chair in the depths of the caverns that were Kal'Mugdor. A response he gave to his Workers who had came back from Haense to supply their shop there. As they milled about, Dorimnur Goldhand thought to himself of the first interaction he had with Ophelia, a conversation initially of a Boomsteel craft which ended tearfully for her with the embrace of Brynaelda Grandaxe and words of affirmation of Ophelia's worth. His work over his draftspaper wanders into a re-etching of the plans for her glaive, and he gives a deep sigh, saying to no one but himself "Suppose The Voice of the Strong will be silenced after all."

Dorimnur Goldhand, Clan Lord of the Goldhands and The Yemekar's Pick of Kal'Mugdor gives a slight grin as he stands before the shop, saying to himself "That's my boy"

I'd suggest adding some more pictures if there's any out there. I like that there's not different color variants and that you make the different colors with other ingredients. Very cute. Lore's cute too. +1

Welcome! LotC is a ton of fun and i've made a bunch of friends on accident on it, so enjoy your time here!

Dorimnur Goldhand, standing in his busy Guild HQ, worker's bustling in and out with steels, timbers, gears, rails and ores, looks for a missing key. He takes out a key ring of monumental proportions, and quickly notices that the one for the Worker's Guild document drawer is still missing. He thinks for a bit as to where it went, and then his expression softens as he remembers giving it to the once Grand Queen Dhaen Grandaxe. He looks out of the door as it opens and closes with dwedmar filing in and out and thinks to himself wistfully "Ah foine lass, ah'n ah even foineh workin' woman. Hope she keeps t'at key."

Dorimnur Goldhand hums the length of the tune a couple times over as he devours a bacon-wrapped turkey leg, wiping his hands on his waistrag as he lifts down the main body of a dwarven cannon. "Gud ta see t'at me cannons produce such inspiration!"

Dorimnur Goldhand gives a hearty toast in his Worker's Guild HQ, a frothing red drink spilling over as he sets it upon his lips to take a long draught, saying after a gasp "To ah prosperous reign, ah'n ah more prosperous future!"

Dorimnur Goldhand takes the paper with the lyrics in hand and hums along, saying as his foot taps along "Jest think about how many Inferi scum ah could've squarshed ef ah had t'is in me ear."

Dorimnur Goldhand scoffs and says "Hmph. Et wos Norli who reinvigorated Grimdugan's name eh? Suppose et wos ah gud toime fer meh ta wander inta Urguan maneh decades ago."

I really like this!!! I got a clarification question: Are they cold blooded? They came from ice-caves, and they're lizards. Maybe something along the lines of they're cold-blooded but the coal keeps them warm? that could be a cool idea.

Dorimnur Goldhand, not a fan of any type of paper, is forced to read this 1st edition at his desk in the Worker's Guild. He takes a drink of some golden ale as he scans over it quickly, but he stops and gives a satisfied grin as he reads the accolade for him and the Worker's Guild. He smacks the paper as he says "T'at's some gud stuff roight t'ere, 'cause et's true!"

That was good

THE GOLDHAND CLAN ᛏᚺᛖ ᚷᛟᛚᛞᚺᚨᚾᛞ ᚲᛚᚨᚾ INTRO “To be a Goldhand is to be an Opportunist.” -Dorimnur Goldhand The Goldhand Clan are dwarven merchants at heart. They embody the utilization of greed for dwarves, and the advantage it brings when dealing with others in matters of trade. Quick witted, and always looking for a good deal, they often make up the upper echelon of dwarven society, constituting dwarven aristocrats. The Goldhands are devout worshipers of the Merchant Brothers, Armakak, the God of Trade, and Grimdugan, God of Greed. Every aspect of Goldhand affairs are permeated by their faith in the two Merchant Brothers, from the way they conduct business to their weapons and gear. A Goldhand seeks to balance both Armakak and Grimdugan, and over the course of joining the clan they will learn how to do so. For Goldhands, to truly be in the Clan is to combine both aspects of the Merchant Brothers. Balance is an integral part of the Goldhand identity, and is praised. A true Goldhand believes and acts out the balance between Armakak and Grimdugan. By this they praise and enact The Merchant Brother’s will through their work. Money makes the world go round. They believe that not might, but MONEY makes right. Anything can be achieved, for the right price. THE WAY OF A GOLDHAND “Greed is not a malign force, not a curse as taught by some. Your greed is a tool, a guide. Let it lead you to prosperity, let it inspire you to do greater. A soul that learns how to utilize greed for the betterment of itself, its kin, its clan and kingdom will become unshakeable.” Goldhands are a predominantly Cave Dwarf Clan, but those of amber hue and blonde of hair are considered blessed by Armakak, smooth of tongue, and those of black hair and bright of eye are considered blessed by Grimdugan, set to become renowned creators and miners. Goldhands do not limit themselves to just one trade, as opportunity leads to prosperity. Oftentimes Goldhands pursue professions in gem cutting, smithing, artisan works, or even exploration. A Goldhand lusts for opportunity, and the more elaborate their network of Contracts and contacts the better they will see in life. Honor has a different lens for Goldhands. Honor is something that is earned, and can be taken away. There is more a focus on respect for one another based on their skill, and respecting the shrewdness of a fellow merchant. Goldhands get others to do the dirty work for them, they’re rich nobility, and time is money! Goldhands are NOT charitable. They only make investments based on what they get in return, otherwise they wouldn’t make a profit, which would lead to displeasing Armakak himself. Of most importance is the contract of a Goldhand. A Goldhand should always be true to his contract, but this does not mean he cannot stretch what his contracts mean. For someone to change the terms of a Goldhand’s contract is a grievous slight against the verity of the Goldhand and his knowledge as a merchant. In the eyes of the brath a Goldhand would be dishonorable if he did not resolve an incomplete deal. If someone did not keep their end of a deal in a bargain, it would be against a Goldhand’s nature to let the other party get away with it. But a Goldhand would not do this themselves, instead they would pay others a hefty amount of minas to do the job for them. Their knowledge of goods and market prices is unparalleled. Whether or not they are telling you the correct value of a good or overcharging you is dependent on whether you catch on or not. Goldhands known better than anyone mercantile work is a game of wits. If you outsmart your opponent with an unfair agreement to your benefit, it is their fault for not realizing the wrong. A Goldhand doesn’t shy from taking advantage of their mercantile knowledge, and are masters of negotiation, being silver-tongued. For example, if a Goldhand was dealing with a human, selling a simple sword for an atrociously high price, the Goldhand would deem it the human’s fault for not catching on. After all, the Goldhand took the time to learn the value of things, why should they neglect using their blessing! A Goldhand would consider any slight to their business practice or their work a grievous slander. For example, if a Goldhand was claimed to be doing unfair business practices, he would find such claims a slight against his name and the clan and would look to enact justice by writing it in the Book of Grudges, even goins as far as hiring an Ireheart to resolve the issue. However, should a Goldhand receive a personal insult rather than one against their business, their response would be more tame. A Goldhand puts on a persona when they are trading. Whether or not they are boisterous and jovial in private times, a Goldhand in the marketplace or conducting a deal should act the part. Sometimes a Goldhand goes as far to take on a merchant title, one that they take on the persona of while they trade, giving people an easy name to remember. Goldhand relationships are usually superficial and on a strict business level. Outside of that, Goldhands are hard friends to make, as by nature of them being Cave Dwarves are untrusting of others, especially those of another race, and being in business they know others are superficial just as they are when they work. Goldhands can be the life of the tavern or they can be quiet in the seats. It depends on how they view the business they conduct. The boisterous Goldhand is fluent in tongue and happy to use his ease of words in a normal conversation, being easy to talk to. on the other hand, a Goldhand might be reserved outside of Business, feeling as if all others want of them is their coin, and not realizing the persona they put on for when they trade. Goldhands aren’t afraid of unorthodox methods of getting deals done, with Female goldhands using their womanly charms to get great deals in the marketplace, only for it to be a farce to coerce a hopeful merchant into less-than-ideal terms. A Goldhand must come to terms with their greed. They will get nowhere in the business world if they resist the urge to earn money, as there is only one life to live and it is best lived pursuing riches to enjoy what the moral world has to offer. It is of utmost importance to look the part when trading! A Goldhand’s most expensive clothing should be that which they wear when they trade, and better if it has gold in it to flaunt your wealth. Young Goldhands are taught to haggle and trade from the beginning of their membership in the clan, setting them along the upright path of praise towards the Merchant Brothers, and immeasurable coin. THE FAITH OF A GOLDHAND "The truly blessed are those whose enterprise and zeal bring both wealth and good luck. Work hard, be clever, seek the best bargain and the Merchant Father will shower you with gold. Treat others with respect, but shirk not your responsibility to try and strike a better deal for you and from them." The Goldhand Patrons are Armakak and Grimdugan, the Merchant Brothers. A Goldhand is not looked down upon for neglect of worship for the rest of the Brathmordakin, but the Merchant Brothers permeate every aspect of a Goldhand’s life. Armakak is praised in the officiation of a deal, stating that it is fair in the eyes of Armakak, and Grimdugan is praised by the keeping of the Hoard, a Goldhand’s private stash honoring the Lord of Shadows. To quote from the Da Kirkja Dverga’s teachings of Grimdugan and Armakak: “Grimdugan is the god of greed. He is patron to treasure, all riches and valuables, and also to miners, merchants, and anyone who uses greed to retrieve it. He firmly encourages his followers to seek riches, whether it be in the depths of a mine or through a shrewd deal made at the marketplace. While the greed bestowed by Grimdugan fuels the hearts of the living, it is he who acts as the guiding hand of those who walk in the darkness.” And for Armakak: “Armakak is the god of trade, of bartering and of smooth-tongued dwarves. The patron of wealth, luck, and opportunities. He looks over the merchants, travelers, and entrepreneurs, encouraging them to acquire wealth through cleverness and hard work. The Merchant Father will shower with gold those who seek the best bargain and respect their fellow merchants, striking deals that are fair for both parties.” As a Goldhand grows in their journey they learn the two things about commerce, represented by each patron: There is nobility in the trade of things, (Armakak) and there is more than one way of going about it (Grimdugan) Armakak is to be honest, Grimdugan is to stretch the truth and give as little info as needed. If you have too much zeal for Armakak, you get exploited and become poor, bringing shame to your clan and self. Too much for Grimdugan and you start to steal from dwarves and are too difficult to deal with no one gives you trades and you become an outcast, bringing shame to self, clan, and kingdom. Darkness is to be embraced. Goldhands who accept this use it to their advantage in everyday life, letting others know as little as possible: Information pays! Dealing in the shadows also honors Grimdugan, as in the darkness lie the greatest treasures. CLAN STRUCTURE Goldhands follow the usual dwarven clan structure of a beardling, member, elder, and clan father hierarchy.Beardlings are those who have not completed their trials, and upon completion are inducted into full memberhood to the clan. Ascension to Elderhood would entail an appraisal of the potential elder’s hoard from the Clan Father. Should he be deemed valuable enough, the Clan Father will publicly announce his inherent value and promote him accordingly, giving him his Elder gear. Clan youngers would be expected to listen to the Elder on the basis of monetary topics, as that is what the clan revolves around, but it would not be mandated that they listen to their elders at all times. Elders are decided upon NOT by how rich they are, but for their ability to stay rich and their mercantile skill. Any lucky dwed could come across good fortune, but only a Goldhand elder, a truly upper echelon of dwarven civilization, knows how to retain and grow such fortune. If there is a disagreement within the clan, it shall be resolved personally. To take it publicly would be an insult to the Clan Father’s ability to resolve internal affairs, as well as an insult to Grimdugan, who is worshipped by dealing in the shadows. Do not respect your Elders because of the gray hairs on their head, but because of the experience they have and the proof of it through their Hoard. When it boils down to it, the one with the greater Hoard has more say, as they've physical proof of being wiser. If a Clan Member slights the clan, but the Clan Father deems it not worthy of the high price of expulsion from the clan itself, there is an alternative. Punishment without expulsion from the clan is to cut one’s hand and cast it in gold, giving it to the Clan Father as a purging through gold of one’s sins, washing away any transgressions with the flow of gold. CLAN TRIALS Trial of Armakak: A Goldhand is given the task of turning gold into gold. They are to multiply a set number of minas by tenfold, such as turning 100 minas into a 1000, or 10 minas into 100. They are to hold onto their first coin they accrue for later trials. Trial of Grimdugan: A Goldhand is given a list of things to gather for a hoard, and make a proper shrine to Grimdugan out of it. (Like one of every jewel, a weapon from each city.) This will be the start of their Hoard, and they will protect it with their life. Worship of Armakak is in public, while Grimdugan appreciates worship done in the shadows. Trial of Balance: The nearly full-fledged beardling will undergo their last trial. With the minas accrued from their first trial, they will gamble with the Clan Father himself, in an ultimate test of their ability to balance both greed and mercantile wisdom. Once a Goldhand has completed their trials, they will be taken on a pilgrimage to a shrine of Armakak and Grimdugan, to pay homage and leave an offering. Following this, they will undergo the Coin Ritual, which is a secret tradition amongst Goldhand initiates and the Clan Father. CLAN TRADITIONS Officiation of the Contract: It is typical for a Goldhand to bless the contract before both parties, saying along the lines of “In the presence of the Merchant Brothers Grimdugan and Armakak, I declare this to be a fair deal. Let both parties prosper from it.” Publicly pronouncing such presents favorable worship to Armakak, and is viewed with great esteem within the clan. Goldhand Coin: A Goldhand’s personal coin that signifies their membership to the Clan. It stands as proof of their word, proof of their allegiance to their clan and their honor to their work. Elder Pen: Seemingly mundane, this elder-exclusive quill pen would be a token of their status. Excessively expensive, and intended for use of signing contracts, it shows that an Elder Goldhand takes pride in their work and officiates their contracts with their own pen, therefore their own word. Clan Burial: A coin is put on their tongue, and they are cast in Gold, a summation of their value in life, with a large portion of their wealth being entombed with them, as they die like they lived. CLAN SMITHING The clan is not a warrior clan nor one renown for smithing, but they take pride in what they do make. CLAN RELICS There are few, as this is a new slate for the Goldhand clan. The history has been tainted by Anvilaxe interference, and so we cannot trust what has been said of our forefathers, only what lies ahead for us to dictate as relics. We shall forge when deemed fit what our descendants will one day call great Clan Relics, reclaim what has been lost to time, shall be credited to our legacy. Scales of Tungdil The scales of Tungdil is an elaborately crafted device etched with jewels of many colors. It is not known if it holds any mystical powers, but for many within the clan, it would be seen as a device that would be used for measuring deals and used against those who have done the clan wrong THE ANNALS OF HISTORY "May our history be etched into the stone so it may be as everlasting as our race, and so our deeds may never be forgotten." HOW TO BECOME A GOLDHAND Applications to the clan are held through a meeting with the Clan Father.
