Dwarves of Blackmoor

[Havard]

Gorduhendo... Notable members: Maker (Ross Maker)

Was that Ross character name? wondering where the association comes from.

I dont know Ross' character name, but for the most part I will assume that they used their own names back then. Placing Ross Maker with the Gorduhendo is also purely arbitrary. There is nothing on the Gorduhendo beyond the name, so I figure that if we learn more about Ross' adventures we can use that to flesh out this clan as well.

Clans - ethnographically, clan members are usually not much different culturaly or physicaly but they may emphasize a particular patron deity, protection totem, and special holidays. Thier architecture and dress may reflect these things. Clans also often specialize in particular occupational/craft skills. For example, a particular clan may be master gem cutters and have secret skills along those lines. Another clan might be hunters etc.

Great ideas! I agree that skills, clothes and traditions would be where the differences between the clans becomes apparent to outsiders.
