Hello,
One or two years ago, i managed to find a list of the dwarven clans in rhe Realms but i lost the link to the website. Does anybody know where i could find it? It might even be in Candlekeep but i can't find it.
Thanks a lot for your help.

For a number of years I've been putting together a (hopefully) complete list of dwarven names, including clan and house names. It's sort of lain fallow for a while, since I got a job and didn't have the endless amount of free time as I did when I was unemployed.
I offered to share it with the Keep, and let Alaundo host it, much like the list of elven names. I'm not sure I heard back from him, but I'd still be happy to have CK host it. It's incomplete, but not by a whole lot.
While we wait on that, the bare-bones list of clans comes from FR 11 Dwarves Deep. Check that book, if you have it. |
Doggedly converting 3e back to what D&D should be...
Sigh... And now 4e as well. |

Those are Clan names as listed in Dwarves Deep. I must also list Ironstar for they are believed extinct. There are maybe more that are extinct and their names and lore are Forgotten. I think I read somewhere that dwarves sometimes guard their clan names as to avoid drawing attention to their homelands unless it is an honorable cause. |

| In addition to the list, you have the Brightblade clan of Daggerdale. They have a small abandoned hold near Dagger Falls, and the main clanhall is futher south in Anathar's Dell. |

Don't forget the legendary Clan Ironstar.
Reads the third post...

"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."
