King's Hammers

The King's Hammers are a guild of elite dwarf warriors based in Blackpeak, Kai Duren. They serve the king of dwarves as a personal bodyguard and are sworn to protect him until death. They have existed as long as any dwarf alive can remember, but definitely date to before the Common Age.
==Traditions==
Any male dwarf may join the Hammers, but must pass a rigorous test of combat in order to wield one of their masterwork ceremonial weapons. Despite their name and popularly held belief, the Hammers are not required to wield hammers but wield a variety of enormous two-handed weapons. 
King's Hammers are never allowed to trim their beards under any circumstance. After a few years of service, most members are forced to tuck their long beards into their belts during battle.
