Tanllwyth, Clan of the Forge
|
|
Clan Tanllwyth (TAN-hlooeeth) generally dwell only in Holds built in volcanoes or
with active magma flows. They are incredibly resistant to heat and fire, as well
as being quite hot tempered.
|
|
|
|
They are aggressive to the point that many Var consider them to be suicidal. They
delight in slaying monsters, often leaving the Hold for weeks at a time to seek
out Grol or other powerful beasts. Some enjoy it so much they dedicate their lives
to hunting down monsters to kill; such are called Diweddym (de-WETH-um).
|
|
|
|
The Tanllwyth are most known for their refineries however, using the natural heat
of lava in the process of purifying metal ore. Only the Tanllwyth hold the secrets
to refining Durocaled, and they guard it closely.
|
|
|
|
APPEARANCE & DRESS
|
|
|
|
The Tanllwyth tend to be of average size for Var, and have green eyes most often.
Their hair is reddish brown predominantly, but it usually gets seared off among
those who work the forge fires, growing back in clumps when it grows back at all,
whilt the Diweddym tend to grow their hair into warriors crests.
|
|
|
|
Their skin is semi-metallic dark silver, and glitters in certain lighting. The Tanllwyth
often dont waste time on clothing, wearing simple loin clothes, and their bodies
are usually covered in soot.
|
|
|
|
GENERAL CHARACTER
|
|
|
|
The Tanllwyth are hot tempered, mercurial, and aggressive. They typically have hair
trigger tempers, and are surly even when calm. Even other Var tend to avoid them
if possible, and in Varholds were they have a presense, they usually live deeper
under the mountains than their kin in a semi-seperate enclave.
|
|
|
|
ORIGINS & ORGANIZATION
|
|
|
|
The Ceidwad of Clan Tanllwyth is rarely chosen. The Tanllwyth generally have little
interest in politics, outside of war, and as such have little interest in their
Ceidwad.
|
|
|
|
Usually the most charismatic Tanllwyth will serve as both commander and Ceidwad,
leading the clan in most things. This could be challenged by combat, but this rarely
happens. While the Tanllwyth are aggressive, they rarely seek combat within their
own clan.
