Gold
Dwarves
Gold dwarves
maintained their great kingdom in the Great Rift and did not decline in
terrible wars against evil humanoids. While they practiced some magic,
they never developed the hubris that caused the downfall of some human
nations. Confident and secure in their remote home, the gold dwarves
gained a reputation for haughtiness and pride.
Since the Thunder
Blessing, many young gold dwarves have left the Great Rift and are exploring
the rest of Faerun. The folk of other lands have learned that while
gold dwarves are aloof and suspicious, for the most part they are forthright
warriors and shrewd traders.
Regions : The
ancestral home of the gold dwarves is the Great Rift, located in the dry
plains of Shaar. Gold dwarven outposts can also be found in the Smoking
Mountains of Unther and in the Giant's Run Mountains west of Vilhon Reach.
The gold dwarf entry applies to those raised in the Great Rift.
