Introducing: Dwarves / Might of the Dwarves
« on: January 31, 2013, 11:12:22 AM »

Well met, stranger!


We are the mountaindwellers, the Dwarves of Minecrack. We are engineers and fighters superior. Our resolve is steel and we never forget a grudge. We welcome you to the halls of our ancestors to feast and recount deeds of heroes. Our craft is of quality and our minds honed.

Thanes are the souvereign caste of the Dwarves. We use our experience both in and out of fight to keep our faction forums clean and uphold the dwarven way of life. Indy and me, both being Civilservants, are taking on this role. But hold on.

That is not how the souvereign dwarves kept their souvereignity over the eons, however. We have a much better system than a king's dictate, a system that enables YOU to get the awesome faction projects going in the way they deserve it. We dwarves form Councils, and this is how they work:


Take responsibility and power! Yes, YOU!

When one of us has an idea worth supporting, they may create a new council for this very project. Other dwarves can then join in by replying in the appropriate thread in our project forums visible only to dwarves! As soon as a council is complete, it has complete control over the project it was created for - e.g. only those involved in the actual project will have a huge say on that very project. Be it raids, awesome fortresses, or what else you can think of - make it possible today, work on it in a team of motivated dwarves, create a council!

All councils are temporary. When the project is done, the council is nullified. This will keep our society and hierarchy alive and worthy of a true dwarven tribe.


Gain access to our wealth. Estabilish yourself!

We dwarves rely on sturdy infrastructure to keep us supported. Aside from our capital, we will create fortresses over time for all dwarves to fall back to. We will have resources to support our newest members. And of course, we are a society of free dwarves - fill your personal treasury, build yourself a castle on our world map, leave a mark!


See the work of our ancestors and honor it with your presence!

Our magnificent capital is the Dwarven Hall of the Ancestors. It is a masterpiece of our art and it has stood for untold centuries. Never has an elf set foot inside it's precious halls, and any intruders are met with scorn. It has all the facilities to provide for us, painstakingly mined out of the raw stone and chiseled into perfection. It's halls have born witness to the Ancestors and many other heroes whose legends are still sung on the days of remembering.



Avenge your ancestors, honor your tribe!

The Great Book of Grudges is an ancient tome which was started in an age forgotten long ago, by the Ancestors of our race. It contains all the wrongs and ill deeds made against the dwarves, and they are never erased. Sometimes a brave and valiant dwarf will take up an oath to avenge one of those wrongs in equal measure. These are the dwarfs of Oath. They swear by their beards, that one deed they are about to make will be done. Woe betide those who have wronged and an Oathbearer comes to face them. Should the Oathbearer fail, the consequences are grave indeed. He will suffer from being an Oathbreaker and must redeem themselves through blood and bone. Those who do succeed are honoured beyond measure and celebrated across the realm.

Medals and Statues


(CONCEPT ART - the world has not started yet)

As if the might you could gain by being awarded a Dwarven Medal of Honor was not enough all by itself, the proud race of dwarves has an unique way of making you stand out.

If you are awarded a Medal of Honor, Silver Tier (gray/blue color scheme with two iron axes, like our Relentless medal), there is reason for you to be happy. Because a small statue with YOUR nameplate on it will be placed visibly in the prominent entrance part of our main fortress to be, to amaze all the dwarves now and then. And it will be made of iron entirely!

And that is not even the best part. If you gain a Medal of Honor, Golden Tier (for example the glorious Slayer of Legends), the statue of you will be done completely in gold blocks.

Also, this means that all our medals from silver tier onwards are backed up by minerals like a real world economy - this will ensure they will always be valuable and there won't ever be a flood of them, thus preserving the glory of our former medal recipients. Of course, our medals (from silver tier onwards) are very hard to gain, and you won't be awarded one unless your activities stand out. But you see, the honor that goes with being awarded one is limitless! Also, the time your statue will be done will depend on the amount of shared, required resources available.


If your deeds were glorious, they will show for all eternity for all to see - even for the generations of dwarves following you!
