Gold Dwarf

Renowned not only for their smithwork andcraftsmanship but also for their military prowess and legendarywealth, gold dwarves have maintained their empire for millennia,unbowed by the passage of time.
==Culture==
Gold dwarf culture does not exhibit a great deal of variability,the result of generations of gold dwarves insulated from outsideinfluences. Class and clan divisions are strong among golddwarves, and great importance is attributed to bloodlines whenascribing social status. However, the Deep Realm is so swampedwith petty, decadent royals and nobles that little real power isinvested in anyone but the governing council of clan elders.Commerce and craftsmanship both play an important role ingold dwarf society, as does the never-satiated grasping for moreriches. Pride and honor play an important role in all aspects ofdaily life, for disgrace applies not only to oneself, but also to kin,clan, and long-dead ancestors.
==Values==
Gold dwarves are raised in tight family units, but the clanelders play an important oversight role in the upbringing ofevery child. Book learning is common, as is an apprenticeship tolearn a trade. All adults are expected to support themselves andtheir family as well as bring honor and riches to the clan. Ostentatiousdisplays of wealth are important for maintaining one’sprestige
