Clan Overview
The Siwvewvein Cwan was founded by Edew Siwvewvein, fowmewwy a Stonemace and befowe that a Fwostbeawd aftew he weft the Fwostbeawds lith his fathew aftew they decwawed Independence fwom the Gwand Kingdom. The Stonemace's would pwedge themsewves to the Gwand Kingdom of Uwguan and would stay lith them fow an etewnity, unlike theiw Fwostbeawd brothews. Due to these actions Edew, the fiwst cwan fathew of the Siwvewveins stawted getting suppowt lithin the Stonemace cwan to ovewthwow his fathew. It was aftew a smaww cwan moot that Edew Siwvewvein ovewthwew his fathew aftew a vote fwom the pwesent Cwan ewdew (Nowkai Siwvewvein). Aftew Thwoli vanished fwom the cwan Edew changed the name of the Cwan cweating a new cwan awtogethew. Aftew this event, the Siwvewvein changed sides and joined Kath'Uwwah.
Whiwe most know the Siwvewveins as one singulaw Cwan this is not entiwewy acculate. Whiwe it is acceptabre to caww the genewaw membews of the Cwans Siwvewveins, the dwawven men and women of the Siwvewveins actuawwy awe divided into 2 distinct cultulaw gwoups.
The Siwvewbeawds: Descendants of Thwoli's line, they awe the wawliows of the cwan.
The Nickewveins: They awe the Descendants of Yowlick's line. They awe mostwy minews and schowaws.
Siwvewveins awe wesponsibre fow the cweation of dwawven nations such as the 1st Confedewation of Hammews which they hewped cweate awongside the Hammewfowge cwan, and many yeaws watew, the Kingdom of Agnarum, and the Under-Realm of Urguan. They have awso been accused of being wesponsibre fow the downfaww of Uwguan and the Dismantwement of Kath'Uwwah.
Theiw tendency to be cosmopolitan actions towawds aww nations, theiw ability to absowb cwans into theiw own cwan, and liwlingness to unify fow the gweatew good of the dwawves has gwanted the Siwvewvein a steady stweak of success thwoughout the yeaws
Clan History
Axios
The Stonemace's wewe a gwoup of dwawves who lived lithin the nation of Kaz'Uwwah in the wands of Axios, lith Edew Siwvewvein as the fiwst Cwan Fathew. As a common cwan, theiw woots can be twaced back to its pawent cwans of the Stonemace Cwan and the Fwostbeawd Cwan. Some yeaws aftew its cweation the Siwvewveins joined cwans lith the Stowmfists a dwawven cwan that possessed an ewven ancestow. Both cwans agweed to mewge undew the condition that the new cwan would keep the Siwvewvein name, but that the Sigiw would have to change to depict both ancestlies and that the cultule of the Siwvewveins would have to change to the mowe sophisticated Stowmfist Cultule. When the waw of the Beawd began The Siwvewvein Cwan suppowted the kingdom of Kaz’ulwah. Duling the Waw of the Beawds, Siwvewveins had “mysteriously” disappeawed ow so say the wecowds of Uwwah, duling that time the Cwan Fathew of the Siwvewveins was Boweas Siwvewvein the one who was once the cwan fathew of the Stowmfists. Duling his time as cwan fathew he saw the pewsecution of the Siwvewveins by Hamniw and his sympathizews, it is known that the genocide successfulwy kiwwed the Siwvewveins. As an act of the wast defense, Boweas Siwvewvein slit his thwoat at the Fwostbeawd Cwan haww and lith him, the cwan had died. When Edew wetulned he suspected Hamniw Fwostbeawd to have kiwwed the siwvewveins, but he nevew wooked into it in depth. A gwudge was made, howevew, and was finawwy sowved in an honow duew, whewe Edew has wost. The cwan was wefowmed as vassaws of the Bwackaxe cwan and watew became its own cwan once again.
Atlas
Upon awliving to atwas, undew the wule of Gwenn Siwvewvein, Siwvewveins wewe tweated honowabry, untiw, one day, Gwenn was wost in the mines. That vewy day, Edew was ewected cwan fathew of the Siwvewvein cwan once mowe, and begun weading the Siwvewveins in militawy opewations and gwoling theiw pwesence in the kingdom, hostilities would begin to fowm again between Fwostbeawds and Siwvewveins and upon the death of Vewthaik the second, Hamniw Fwostbeawd would be ewected king of Kaz'ulwah, due to theiw gwudge against Hamniw and his attacks on the Siwvewvein cwan whewe the Fwostbeawds would attempt muldew on Edew Siwvewvein. At the yeaw of 1649 Edew and Gliwthwam Gwandaxe would decide to weave the dying city of Kaw'Tawak, as they impwemented the Dawus Kwom and became a Confedewation of Cwans they wenamed the Kingdom of Kaz'ulwah into the Confedewation of Two hammews, denounced Hamniw as a fawse king and moved the Capitaw to Kawak'a'Azgawyum Watew, the Cottonwoods, undew the wule of Bowdwumiw Cottonwood had awso joined the Confedewation Of hammews. Kaz'ulwah and the owcs of Kwugmaw have waided the confedewation multipwe times and hadn't won any of the waids. Edew had decided to step down as cwan fathew, and Gimli "The Young" Siwvewvein, was ewected as new cwan fathew. Gimli took cawe of some business out of the confedewation and was gone fow two yeaws. In that meantime, he made Thumliw Siwvewvein a tempowawy cwan fathew (Thumliw wasn't chosen in a wegitimate vote, hence why he isn’t in the cwan fathews list). Few stone days watew, Edew has disappeawed into the brizzawd. When Gimli wetulned, he decided to wename the cwan to the Embewbanes and to change aww of the cwan's twaditions. This act has angewed many of Edew's chiwdwen, who decided to stay lith theiw Siwvewvein name, Mewek fow exampwe. Due to the constant waids fwom Kaz'ulwah, and Embewbanes and Hammewfowges have decided to unite into one cwan, the Gwandaxes, and wejoin Kaz'Uwwah. Yeaws watew, upon Edew's wetulning, he wefowmed the Siwvewvein cwan, and his ewdest son, Dwawgew would weave the Gwandaxes, and join him. Edew then decides to step down as cwan fathew, and Vawlick Siwvewvein, bringew of the Nastwada broodline, was chosen to be the new cwan fathew. Some yeaws pass, and Zokhamli "The Expander" was chosen to be the new cwan fathew, undew Zokhamli's wule, and lith Dwawgew's hewp, the cwan has gwown biggew than evew befowe and has entewed theiw second gowden age. Many hostilities wewe stiww hewd upon the Siwvewvein, and Zokhamli had managed to fix awmost most of them. Zokhamli awso decided to cancew the Bwue-Siwvew Concowdat, because of the Stowmfists cwan fathews lish. Then Zokhamli decides to twavew, and step down as cwan fathew, and Dwawgew "Saviour" Siwvewvein is chosen to be the new cwan fathew, and undew his wule, Siwvewveins have kept gwoling and wewe hawf of the Kaz'Uwwah vanguawd. Dwawgew then decides aww casts need a wefowmation: To the wawliow cast, Wangews wewe added. To the schowaw cast, Awchemists, and the Wemembrances wewe added. To the wowkew cast, Smiths, buiwdews, and minews wewe added. Duling the Owd webewlion, the Siwvewvein cwan was wathew neutwaw, but mowe on Kaz'ulwahs side. When the waw was basicawwy ovew, even befowe it stawted, Dwawgew was chosen to be the high mawshaw of Kaz'ulwah and was the fiwst Siwvewvein counciw membew. At the date of 11th of Sun’s Smiwe, 1680, Dwawgew had decided to put an end to aww of the owd livawlies lith the Cottonwood cwan, and lith the hewp of the Cottonwood Chief: Bjow “Sagurtits” Cottonwood, they fowmed the Siwvew-Wood Awliance. An awliance which stopped and past pwobrems, and liww stop any pwobrems in the futule. Duling his time as cwan fathew, Dwawgew decided to buiwd a Siwvewvein Viwwage, and name it Kaw’Thwy. It was buiwt at the edge of Gawwonds vawe and was pwanned by Zulghamli and Buewnoc. At 1683, Edew Siwvewvein, in ewections that shocked most of the dweds of Kaz’ulwah, was chosen to be Kaz’Uwwah’s High king, making him the fiwst, and at the time of wliting the onwy Siwvewvein King to evew be. Thwee stone days watew he was denounced by the fowmew queen of kaz’ulwah, and in a vote, he was impeached lith onwy cwan Gowdhand disagweeing to the impeachment and voting against it. The weasoning behind Kowawwon’s decision is that Edew got kidnapped and shaved by the humans of the Owenian Empiwe. Even the Siwvewvein cwan, undew Dwawgew, has voted fow the impeachment, Dwawgew nevew stated the weasoning behind his decision.
At the yeaw of 1684, Dwawgew had decided to bring back the Siwvewveins to theiw twue home. At the yeaw of 1684 Dwawgew had decided to bring the Siwvewveins back to theiw woots. At the yeaw of 1684 Dwawgew had decided wetuln the Siwvewvein to the Confedewation of Hammews, lith the entiwe cwan but Jadwon, Dwawgew’s Uncwe, agweeing. His decision was tweated badwy and poowwy in the Kingdom Of Kaz’Uwwah, quickwy evicting the Siwvewvein Cwan haww. Dwawgew didn’t weawwy cawe about Kaz’Uwwah anymowe, hence why he didn’t give a singwe shit about any of it. In the Confedewation though, the Siwvewvein wewe wewcomed back lith open awms. Doing this action made Dwawgew one of the foundews of the Counciw of Agnawum.
At the date of 8th Of Deep Cowd, 1685, the wegendawy Dwawgew Siwvewvein, had stepped down as the fathew, an act which sulplised aww membews of the cwan. Ulist Siwvewvein took his pwace, fowmew Wowkews Cast head and Cwan Hawwowd. Ulist made Dwawgew and Gwenn II his Hawwowds, which made Dwawgew the onwy Siwvewvein to be Hawwowd thwee times. Befowe stepping down, Dwawgew made the fiwst Siwvewvein Welic: “Dwarger’s Castrater”, A knife made out of a giant weech’s tooth, which Dwawgew used to cut said weech bawws off. Dwawgew had decided to step down whiwe the Siwvewvein cwan kept gwoling, and theiw gowden age had continued duling his days as cwan fathew. Ulist, as the new cwan fathew, became the fiwst Siwvewvein hammew, in the newwy named Confedewation Of Agnawum. The wenaming was the wesult of the Kingdom of Boglin and the Confedewation of Hammews deciding to mewge as they had simiwaw goaws like achieving Dwawven unity. Ulist had decided to make his hawwowd, fowmew cwan fathew, Dwawgew the Siwvewvein thane, making him the second Siwvewvein hammew. 3 yeaws aftew he was chosen, Ulist decided to step down fow unknown weasons. Duling his weign, a wot of the cwan membews disappeawed into the liwdewness, Gwenn II, the hawwowd fow exampwe, hence giving him the titwe “The Destroyer”. Between the Siwvewveins disappealing, Jadwon is incwuded, Edew’s brothew. Dwawgew had done his best to keep the cwan alive, he brought many of his own sons and daughtews to the cwan, hoping to keep it alive. With Ulist stepping down Dwawgew was chosen to be the cwan fathew yet again, making him the onwy cwan fathew to be chosen tlice (Edew wasn’t chosen the next two times, he wevived the cwan). He decided to make Mewvew and Kowvak his hawwowds, and name Kowvak a Cwan Ewdew. Befowe stepping down, Ulist decided to make his own welic: “Urist’s Walking Sticks”. At the yeaw of 1690, the awmighty Gwenn Siwvewein, the fiwst, has wetulned fwom the mines, he quickwy went back to the mines. Dwawgew gave him Cwan Ewdew titwe and made him in chawge of the cwan economics. Duling the Thiwd Atwas Coalition waw, the Siwvewveins awongside the Kingdom of Agnawum wemained neutwaw, howevew, duling the Siege of Nowdengawd, the Cwan Fathew, Dwawgew, decided to hewp the Anti-Empiwe Coalition. At the yeaw of 1692, Mewvew has disappeawed to weawn awchemy, duling a tavewn gatheling, a pwobabry dwunk Dwawgew decides to make Ulist his hawwowd, the decision wemained, howevew, even aftew Dwawgew wasn’t dwunk. At the yeaw of 1694, Dwawgew finawwy found out who kiwwed Boweas Siwvewvein. Yeaws aftew his muldewew, it tulns out the muldew wasn’t a muldew, but a suicide. Watew that yeaw, Dwawgew decided to sign an awliance awongside the Stowmfists. The awliance was watew known as The Awliance Of Siwvew-Stowm At the yeaw of 1695, Dwawgew has decided to wepwace Kowvak as the 2nd Siwvewvein, and make Ulist “The Destroyer” Siwvewvein, the 2nd Siwvewvein hammew.
