Grailwarden

From Praemal

Deep within the Hotash Mountains of the Prustan Peninsula, the Grailwarden dwarves build large underground cities devoted to industry. Their name comes from their stewardship of the White Grail, one of three powerful magical artifacts of unknown origin (the Black Grail and the Unseen Grail are the other two).

While the Stonelost dwarves -- and the Dwarvenhearth dwarves before them -- developed stalwart fighting skills waging wars against evil humanoids and dark elves, the Grailwarden dwarves focused their attention on science, craft, and even magic.

As a rule, Grailwarden dwarves tend to focus much more attention to their appearance than the Stonelost do. Neatly -- sometimes elaborately -- braided beards and hair are common, as are the use of gems and precious metals in clothing. Jewelry, typically a single beautiful signature piece, is also popular with both male and female Grailwarden dwarves.

The dwarves of Glangirn and thus Midwood are all Grailwarden dwarves.

Outside the peninsula, many Grailwarden dwarves are members of the Durambor.
