Dwalund's Last Drink
Dwalund's Last Drink is the tradition of "having a last drink".
History
A long time ago, before the Dwarven clans were united into the Utrimar Kingdom. Two rivalling clans, decided that they would decide who would get the claim on a recently found ore vein by going to war with eachother. The war, not being much more than a single skirmish that lasted for a couple of hours, was to be held the next day. With most of the dwarves celebrating their possible last night alive. Alledgedly, a dwarf called Dwalund, already quite drunk, asked for the barkeep, "to have one last drink" before he would go to sleep. The barkeep, as a joke, gave Dwalund a bucket instead of a pint of beer. Dwalund downed the bucket, standing at the bar. Shortly after that collapsing on the floor.
for it only lasted one day.
