Clan Bezmadan

Clan Bezmadan (The Forge)

The Forgemasters

The Hammers

Overview

The Forgemasters are the Dwarven Clan are the masters of smithing and the trainers of dwarven smiths.
The Bezmadan are the first among the fourth generation of Dwarves to spontaneously appear within the Mountains of the Kharzad Kingdom. They specialised in extracting the wealth out of their surroundings - and now pass that skill on to others.

Clan Assets

The Clan Besmadan have the best smiths in the kingdom among their clan members, including some of greatest runemasters of the age. Their repository of forging skills and patterns for magical items is unmatched. This allows the Bezmadan to be among the best equipped in the Kingdom, but to also be among the wealthiest of the clans.

Their assets extend to access to the best of Dwarven armaments, and magical items in general.

The Forgemasters generate warriors, guardians and defenders from the Warrior class.
