Clan Hedelstone
A family of miners, the Hedelstones are a reclusive lot who dine in their stronghold exclusively, never joining with others in the Iron Lord's dining halls. Experts at finding veins of precious metals, the Hedelstones are nevertheless social misfits in most circles and are widely considered to be boorish and common. Family members prefer the dark tunnels of the mines to hide them from others and to minimize contact. The family seems to make decisions as a whole, without a single representative serving as the head of the household. If someone needs information about the deep tunnels, however, the Hedelstones are the ones to ask, assuming the person can get one of them to talk. A series of disasters have recently shaken the clan to its core. Cave-ins and avalanches are all part of the mining experience, but gas-filled chambers that drive the mining party mad, and monsters out of nightmares shouldn't be as common as they've been in recent clan excavations. The Hedelstones have not yet pledged service to the Dourstones, and stand unrepresented in Council at this time.
