Dwarves

Post by Jermulore » Tue Jun 22, 2004 5:35 pm

1.Dwarf names
In avlis do dwarf have so called "secret" dwarf lastnames that have a special meaning and that are only told to closest of friends and kin.
This feature is propaply in every dwarf thingie since the Tolkien created the dwarf culture (and i consider this as a good thing).

2.Dwarf cityes in Deglos
I assume that many parts in Deglos are in construction (when i last played there it was impossible for a newbie) and there was a lot of goblins and such creatures but no dwarves or gnomes) so could anyone name the biggest cityes/areas that have dwarven residences and about theyre population ( gnomes?dwarfs?= ratio? main income? local forces?)

i hope you can answer a something. i might ask a few questions more so be prepared :D ( too tired to think any now)

and also,
is the plural of "Dwarf" "Dwarves" or "Dwarfs"?

I vote for Dwarves myself, but I speak english. I know Avlis runs on American.

i prefer "dwarves" myself.

every nation in Avlis has a "base" race. M'Chek is human, Le'Or is elven etc. All that information can be found in these boards.

Deglos is the home nation of the Gnomes and Galdos is the home nation of the Dwarves. In Avlis, the two races have a close history, the gnomes originally being dwarves and having evolved into the gnomish race.

i'm not exactly sure of exact percentages, but the most numerous race in Deglos would be the gnomes, although there are a few dwarven cities.

Here's a link to general description of Deglos:

viewtopic.php?t=11651

Also. There are a lot of dwarves and gnomes in Deglos as well as towns, not really cities(yet). I suggest you find and ask some experienced dwarves to show you the places in Deglos. I know that it is very dangerous to scout areas there all by yourself. I have two dwarves and both started in Zural-Dura(town), which is not really good place for level 1 char.

There is a group who defend Deglos from dangers.

PS. It is dwarves, not dwarfs.
