We are talking more about the dwarves with dwarves gonna say we were created by our
God our God wanted us to exist because
they he sculpted us literally breathe
life into us and let us son into the
world we are his children in the sense
of we were created with you know purpose
to emulate our God
and that’s why dwarves are really
creatures of toil they love to work – a
dwarves life has purpose you’re born you
have a vocation you fulfill that
vocation your vocation could be metal
smithing it could be warfare you could
be like my vocation to be a soldier to
protect the clan to protect the
stronghold but every dwarf has a purpose
and that’s really where that lawful
element comes in being lawful good you
know as the typical dwarf yeah we think
the stereotype little war if their
lawful good they’re good in the sense of
they care about the community they care
about other creatures and their
lawfulness since they have a very strong
sense of order if you know if they’re if
you if dwarves existed in the modern
world they would be the the people who
like really obey etiquette if you gave
them a gift they’d always send you a
thank-you note right on time
you know they’re very orderly and they
say this is how we do things and they
kind of have a point because they say
you know to a dwarf or this is how we do
things because this is how Morden taught
us how to do it and wardens a god and
one does not normally tell gods to sod
off right you do what the God tells you
to but they do it at a sense of love
Morden did it be in being a good God he
imagined evil a lawful evil God would do
it to keep someone in line a lawful good
God does it because Morden looks on his
children and says this is what’s best
for you and I really mean that I’m not
just saying that because I want you to
act this way I’m saying cuz if you
follow my dictates you will be safe and
you’ll be happy and you’ll be fulfilled
and doors are generally fulfilled by
long hours of hard work to them it is
just it satisfies a very primal need in
them and that’s why you get the sense of
dwarven Citadel’s being these enormous
you know
always adding to them always building a
dwarf isn’t satisfied just in an
environment that is just static they
always want to improve it there was want
to add to it they always want to grow
they want to prosper they’re really
probably the most driven of the folk but
the same time that points out the
fundamental contradiction that
underlines dwarves Dwarfs build kingdoms
but unlike humans they’re not conquerors
they don’t rule vast swaths of land
because at the end of the day while
dwarves like order and they like work
they like works that exists on much
smaller scales a dwarf wants to improve
her skills she wants to become a better
metal Smith she wants to become a more
skilled warrior there are dwarves who
rule dwarfs have kings and queens and
Nobles
but being a lawful good the children of
a lawful good God and having societies
that exhibit lawful good traits they see
their leaders as being more caretakers
you know a dwarf a good dwarf King looks
after his people and wants them to
prosper he doesn’t have ambition he
doesn’t look across from you know the
the the highest point on his dwarven
Citadel and think would it be great to
conquer the area around us to what end
you’d be risking the lives of the
Dwarven warriors you’d be pulling the
Dwarven Smith’s away from their actual
work to maybe produce weapons or armor
or to fight it wouldn’t it doesn’t it
just wouldn’t compute to the dwarves
they are very happy being left alone to
pursue their their their calling that’s
what they that’s what they want to do
you know at Wharf metal Smith would be
very happy if she could spend her entire
life doing nothing but getting up in the
morning and working on metal smithing
and becoming better at it and producing
more and more beautiful goods the now
the one exception to that is family the
clan child rearing towards also see it’s
incredibly important the family is very
important to them that the one thing
that does override their sense of pride
in their craft is their pride in their
children that the marriage is very
important to them having children
sustaining the clan ensuring the line
continues because it’s not only just a
legacy of you know if I’m a dwarf and
I’m a meddlesome
and I have my skill it’s also the skill
I then hand down to the next generation
who I then guide and hope that with my
guidance my example they bring their
skills up even farther they become even
more skilled they surpass what has been
done in the past two dwarves one of the
worst things that could happen them is
if they lost a secret if the dwarves
knew how to out of had a shape out of an
tine and lost that secret David they
desperately want it back because to them
that’s all we’re losing ground you know
and in many ways what the doors want –
it drives them as they want to live up
to the talent and the skills showcased
by their creator and then the other
deities the Dwarven Pantheon that that
also said specific examples Morden is
essentially is the best in everything
but there are other dwarves who showcase
very mastery of specific skills that the
dwarves emulate it also shows why
similar to the orcs in some way the work
society is very driven by religion you
know if you had an orc raised away from
or society could just be whatever they
just grew up maybe whoever they want
because so much of what they are we
think of them and traditionally how we
deal with them in the world of deity is
driven by how their society is shaped by
their religion and how their religion is
shaped by their direct relationship with
the creator deity thank you Mike Merle’s
