The Dead Six

Dwarven Inquisitive Rogues either were inspired, or trained by the Dead Six, a famous group of dwarven adventurers known for digging up ancient mysteries. In their old age, they founded the Dark One’s Mantle, Inn and Tavern, though it is commonly called the Mantle Inn to most. Since then they have spent their days telling tales and operating the establishment. In the process, their fame has grown, and many eager adventurers flock to their establishment for any hint of lost treasures, or ancient vaults left unplundered. The dead six take great pride in cultivating new talent and encouraging others to train their minds as much as their bodies. Murder mysteries are played out weekly, and the tavern is unusually quiet, filled primarily with people playing games, or talking quietly. Those who accomplish one of the Dead Six’s famous quests, or legendarily difficult challenges will receive a dark black and purple cloak. Completing this challenge is called ‘donning the mantle’ and is a point of pride for any dwarf who does so. Others have attempted to copy their success, but few have managed to reach the level of the mantle.
