Wildhammer Clan (5e Subrace)
Dwarf Subrace
Thane Kurdran Wildhammer, Source |
The great Wildhammer or Aerie dwarfs are a great clan that holds a large place within the dwarven society, they place their homes and cities on top of mountains and aerie peaks which is where their other name comes from. They are not that different from other dwarfs, except for a few small things, such as their red or orange hair and their extra bold and sarcastic attitude, and where a normal dwarf arranges his appearances in an orderly manner they like to go wild with their hair, beards, tattoos and warpaint to the point of almost looking like a beserk. The society of the Wildhammer consist of a simple balance between mining, industry, nature and spirits, for where they depend on the animals and their shamanistic traditions they also stay open minded for the new ways of the world. The Wildhammer are widely famous for their gryphons (griffins), for there is no sight more terrifying than a Wildhammer dwarf charging you while riding a gryphon!
