Stonearm Clan

The Stonearm Clan is a clan of dwarves that formed around when Garrin was born as a True Blood. His entire right arm, shoulder, and part of his neck are living stone instead of flesh. Such blessings are not the providence of mere magic, but instead gifts from the Earthmother and a sign of someone marked for greatness.

The clan and its people came about in 325 AH when Garrin was born true-blooded. Those who witnessed the event raised the young infant up to Jarl and named his clan Stonearm in honor of the blessing. Before Garrin Stonearm had reached a majority over three hundred of his kin flocked to his Clanhold and took oaths under his banner.

Since those beginnings the clan has more than trebled in size; although it has not spread out beyond the Rakarian Valley. The Clanhold itself is built in Bornheim and was constructed to withstand a magical siege. The clan knows that it has gathered here for a Great Testing, but when or what shape it takes is still under debate within its scholars.

The Stonearm Clan is a small dwarven clan whose founder is still alive. It has not expanded its reach beyond the city of Bornheim

Garrin believes that his blessing is a sign of troubles to come. He, and those that follow, are being tested for a great undertaking. The port city of Bornheim is not just a large human port of goods, but well-known for the many unusual stone that is found nowhere else. This has made the dakarians wealthy, but also draws attention from the ]elves. Legends speak of a people that once lived in this valley who could shape and change stone without the use of tools. Those of the clan believe such a people still live in the valley.

This testing and the belief in a hidden people drives those of Stonearm. They are not as integrated into the human society in which they live - a marked difference from most dwarven cultures. Instead they posses almost a single-minded determination to confront their test and overcome it. Driven to uncover the lost lore of this land this clan is known for its scholarly warriors.
