Bondgard Clan

The Bondgard clan is a clan of producers who through its many generations honed the art of farming underground. Without light and with hard barely arable soil the Bondgard’s were able to farm a variety of mushrooms and fungi. With these mushrooms they fed the Jaggedworth tribes for many generations. Representing the clan is a council of Elders usually representing the oldest or most experienced members of the community. After the exile from Jaggedworth the clan fell into a dark era, above the ground and with bright sun over their heads the clans ability to farm without light became obsolete. Other producer clans were able to adapt quickly changing their ways to farm surface plants. The Bondgard’s however saw it as an insult to their ancestors and remained in their ways, building specialized structures to mimic the dark and moist underground conditions required to farm mushrooms. Due to their stubbornness the clan soon fell off the influential sphere of the gwarf society. As the future looked darker and darker for the clan, a glimpse of hope came forth in the form of an expedition to the wastes. The goal was to set up a colony there and to do that they would need farms and someone to tend to them. With the chance to be catapulted back into the forefront of gwarven society the Bondgard’s elders met to decide who would they send in such an expedition. The trip was most assuredly going to be dangerous and setting up a colony would be no easy task, the chances of success were also slim. But on the other hand, the opportunity was too good to pass on. The elders would need to pick someone who knew the clans’ ways well, but also someone who if tragedy occurred would not be terribly missed. The choice was unanimous.
