A Clan consists of many Dwarves, not necisarily in the same family, but still living together in closley knit group. Like when the Dwarves of Mirrabar joined Clan Battlehammer, they changed clans but not families. Also, different clans can live in the same vicinity of each other (again, Mirrabar is my example). Many clans lived there and each clan was composed of different families.
Greetings, so if each clan has many different families living together, can I ask this question then?
The question is: Who will lead the clan, is it the strongest dwarf fighter or the most wisest and embodies morals and values kind of dwarf or family that will lead the clan? |
We have fostered trust, recruited loyalty, and gathered the faithful. We have trained thousands. Our legions can cover the land, fill the sky and travel through the darkness. We can hunt any and all that would deny our heritage. Now is our time, now is the time of the Dark Reign(Rain) of the Empire of Shadows.

A couple of possibles here. First, the descendants of the first leader of the halls or citadel is the most likely candidate. Second, whoever leads the expedition to free the halls or citadel from the vermin who took it from the dwarves. Last, whoever the dwarves are willing to follow if no other leader presents himself. Younger dwarves wanting to become leaders just gather some kin or clansmen together and carve out a kingdom. |
