Dwarf High Clans or Nobles?


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


It's been awhile since I've glanced at Dwarves of Golarion but it never seemed to really confirm if there were "High Clans", "Noble Clans" or just plain honored bloodlines. There were certainly dishonored bloodlines, the 'slag' descendents, so I figure the reverse must also apply.

So I'll probably be making my own, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any official ones in the setting? There's little point in reinventing the wheel if I don't have to. :)


I don't think there has been any official rulings on slag descendants. As such, I'd think they hail from bloodlines that lost any of the dwarven blood wars and were forced from their keeps and holds.


Hmm, does anyone know if Pathfinder has a list of common dwarven words? I know some words like Hammer or Gold were originally dwarven and then got picked up for the Common/Taldan use


I'll leave a dot here, though I know James Jacobs (and maybe the rest of the Paizo staff) care little for the Dwarves.


I've given up hope on any love for dwarves coming from Paizo and as a devoted fan of dwarves since beginning my gaming life 30+ years ago, this saddens me. However, nOw that I'm in the planning stages of running an epically expanded Curse of the Crimson Throne campaign, I plan on giving the dwarves of Janderhoff the love they deserve on my own.


Dwarves used to have nobles, but unfortunately there were a series of unfortunate accidents and well, there aren't any anymore.

Dwarfaphobia harms most the souls of those caught in its grip *Tsk*

Okay, another question...
Is the Quest for the Sky over as far as the mandate to live on the surface areas? In short, if a group of dwarves decided to head down to live in the darklands (Assuming they weren't slain by the various nasties down there), would they be labeled as heretics to Torag?


Considering Taargrick completed the quest about 8000 years before Rotrl I'd think that was acceptable to the dwarves.
