Frostbeard
|
Frostbeard clan is known to be one of the elder clans of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Frostbeards are known to to be one of the most loyal dwed of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. They are known to follow the ones they respect through everything, including death. The recent rebellion of Verthaik Frostbeard and his followers during the Mountain Monarchy Rebellion has brought the clans reputation quite low, but they have risen in the kingdoms ranks, as there have been plenty of Frostbeards in the higher ranks of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, including Rhewen Frostbeard as the Grand King during the Human-Dwarf war in Vailor.

Appearance
Frostbeards are known to be regular mountain dwarf size, sometimes a bit higher than rest. They are usually recognized by their obsidian black hair and beard and a variety of blue eyes. Although this is the common theme, there have been occasions of born Frostbeards with blonde hear, but the blue eyes still stand as the determined factor of Frostbeard looks.

Culture
Common life
Frostbeards on the first look, may seem like unfriendly and harsh in their acts, they are quite contrary (for their friends, at least). Loyalty and honor mean everything to them, and they shall fight with great spirit and virtue just to prove it. Frostbeards usually tend to have honesty in their conversations, and tend to act harshly if it seems that the situation is unjust or ungrateful to any and all of their standards. Much like all dwarves, they like any company and heavy drinking with their fellow clansmen and friends is a standard norm for them.
Religion
Much like other clans, Frostbeards worship the Brathmordakin in their everyday life and culture. Many clansmen consider Wyrvun, the aengul of cold and righteousness, as their deity and pray to him in battle for good luck and fortune.
Traditions
Trials
No matter if a dwarf is connected with the Frostbeards in honor or Bloodline, they must pass their trials, which consist of a single task. A Frostbeard recruit is to venture off into the woods, and bring a bear pelt from a bear they hunted themselves. Depending on the clan father, the weapon restrictions may change. Some clan fathers demand that the bear must be killed with an ancestry weapon, which is usually a finely crafted stone axe or warhammer. On the other hand, a clan father may task the recruit to kill the bear with the bear with their bear bare hands. After their completed tasks, newly proven Frostbeards usually wear the pelt as a cloak to show their worth to Frostbeards and dwed alike.
