The Blackstone Clan

The Blackstones are an originally dwarven clan that parted ways with the Dalneymian Kingdom and found their own place in the unclaimed lands of the Boroughian Wetlands. Eventhough they left the mountains they still stayed close and settled in the hill parts of the lands. It was within these hills at the foot of the mountains that they found an old cavern. And although it seemed natural at first it contained very smooth, walls and ceilings with patterns similar to carvings. One of its grand chamber makes the wind somehow create a beautifull sound very reminiscent of singing and the room feels comfortably warm, like a mother's embrace. Therefore they call it Mother Earth's Embrace and regard these lands sacred, protecting it at all cost.
With parting from their Dalneymian brothers they left behind some of their rules and traditions. One of those leading them to accept non-dwarven folk to the clan as well. As long as they respect the people of the clan, their sacred lands and contribute to the prosperity of the clan they are more then welcome.
