Culture

Culture and cultural heritage

Gorum dwarves feel a strong need to relive the glory days of the Accent of the Citadels and are the most militant of the dwarven cultures, often warring against Orcs  and Giants  and stockpiling great stores of treasure won in battle. They are not foolhardy, however, and make use of hit-and-run tactics in enemy territory and complex defenses in their campaigns. They also feel a strong pull towards heroic quests, and it is rare to meet a Gorum dwarf who has never been on an adventure at some point in their life.

Shared customary codes and values

The Gorum dwarves have an inherent suspicion towards magic. While not expressly forbidden by the Gorum people the practice of magic is a rarity among them.

Common Dress code

Gorum clothing is mostly muted and dark, but every dwarf wears a piece of clothing, usually a scarf or bandanna, in bright colors matching their clan's traditional gemstones. This is referred to as a glory ribbon; if the dwarf dies in battle, their companions tear up the ribbon and weave it into their own clothing.

Common Myths and Legends

  • King Gor's Seal- A legend of how the father of the Gorum sought a ward for his children from the curses of his enemies.
