In general, what are the thoughts of a dwarf when it comes to blood and family vs. Clan vs. friendship? What are the ties they value the most? Dwarves are as complex and many-faceted as other sentient beings, including humans. Meaning, the ties they value the most vary with each individual. (Dwarf culture values clan, family loyalty, and bloodlines, but friendship is a paramount virtue).#Realmslore

But you would you say that culturally a Dwarf would be pressed to choose family over clan or vice versa? Sorry, but it depends on the individuals involved (the dwarf being pressed, and those doing the pressing). Different dwarves will have different priorities re. what "wins" (family, clan, friends, or personal freedom). It also varies by time and place, and by clan.#Realmslore
