Undain Clan - Background
As a dwarf of the Undain Clan, you hail from the Crystalcap Mountains in Erindor. Your clan's long history is steeped in the intricate art of stone carving, a tradition that holds a place of reverence within your community. Undain society operates on a caste system where tattoos reflect your standing. At the ages of 25, 100, and 150 you receive tattoos based on your social standing and deeds. The more tattoos you bear, the higher your status.
The Stone Oaths of the Undain and the ancient Calling of Forn are taken earnestly, with many dedicating their lives to the mastery of the craft. Your clan values mentorship, guiding others to excel in this ancestral skill. Though you strive to welcome all and share the rich lineage of the dwarves, past conflicts have complicated this vision. The Undain maintain a strong alliance with the country of Thorn but remain wary of the Tritos Dominion.
