Not only is a Dwarf Lord a potential candidate as the next King of a Karak since he is a bearer of royal blood, he is also, depending upon wealth or clan, equipped with some of the mightiest runic weapons and armour around. All Dwarfs take great pride in their possessions, but none more so than the ruling class. Such wisdom includes being a master of tactics and strategy, learning to wield the armoured might of their throngs as well as they wield an axe and shield.

For a Thane to progress and become a Dwarf Lord, he must be well tutored in the ways of their ancient foes, absorb a great wealth of wisdom, and be a bearer of royal blood. Įvery Dwarf Lord started out as a Thane, whom are the patriarchs of a Dwarf Clan. It is their duty to avenge all wrongdoings to their clan, their hold, and their entire race, not just in the present, but also for all time. Upon their broad shoulders is carried the weight of untold debt, the inherited grudges of a long-suffering and unforgiving race.

As a rule, Dwarf Lords are a grim sort, for they are the leaders of a dour people. These fell-handed warriors are equipped with the finest arms and armour within his clan, whom have been known to fight at the forefront of the army, inspiring his comrades in the face of overwhelming odds.
