Dwarven Clans

The Underkingdom's citizens identify by their clan. Clans are associated by family line or by sworn loyalty. The head of a clan can wield the necessary influence to be heard in the dwarven national assembly, to vote for the Underking, or to sit on the throne if elected.

The following clans have been identified so far:
 * Goldbeam, or Goldenbeam. A merchant house of phenomenal wealth, seen as responsible for the current thriving dwarven economy. The Underking is a lord of clan Goldbeam.
 * Silverpick. Historically a house of nobles and heroes, Silverpick has fallen from their lofty heights and seeks great deeds to restore their house's name.
 * Mountaindeep. A house of miners and explorers. Haemon Drohnson is their most recent well-known, if infamous, son.
