Re: [DF] Dwarven Cleric and ancestor worship?
Going to give them a fortress that's beset by an infestation of the Undead to help save.

Re: [DF] Dwarven Cleric and ancestor worship?
I'm now thinking of a dwarven city that is having problems because the ancestors/priests are diverting too much of the productivity to making the tombs even nicer. Maybe a bit similar to Bujold's Cryoburn.

Sounds like a great bit of setting colour. Might borrow.

The dwarves everyone does encounter, and frequently, are the young adults. Those 20-somethings that aren't quite old enough to take a Clan Name, who have yet to earn their way into a clan, but still hold to most of the dwarven religious restrictions. They make up the minority of any above ground tradesman or uncovered caravaneers. But because they aren't adults, they aren't considered True Dwarves, so sunlight isn't 'harmful' to them spiritually. There are also the 'wildlings', the young who are old enough to buy their way, but are too poor or chose not to. They undergo "Hoppavild" (or walk about/rumspringa/being cast-out), religiously they are considered to be "younger than children", thus anything they do during this time does not count as sin, however legalistically they are adult. They are referred to as Dvarg (from whence the term Dwarf comes in this world). They make up the bulk of the above ground tradesmen, mercs, caravaneers, and adventurers. And of course they tend towards being the partying types... Nobles always get the fanciest levers in their rooms... |
