Goldbraid
Goldbraid Clan is a very old clan, as old as dwarves can remember. Everyone agrees that the Goldbraids have been around for a very long time. Some say all dwarves originated with the Goldbraid clan, but the Goldbraids deny this, since no Goldbraid would ever turn his back on the clan to forge his own way.
The Goldbraid are deeply hierarchical and had a complicated system of titles and social strata; individuals and families looking to change their station must very carefully do so by amassing wealth, marrying wisely, and avoiding stigmatizing scandals.
Long ago the clan resided in the massive mountains of the south, at a mystical place called Kingsreach and all of its satellite fortresses. There was a great apocalyptic change that caused the Goldbraids Clan to move north. Even with the long-bearded dwarf scribes have little knowledge on what happened, it is one of the great unknown secrets.
Common traits: Blonde, haughty, obsessed with social machinations.
