Inspired by Jack's Dwarven Generator on tales of the grotesque and dungeonesque I thought I should make a little on the dwarfs of Aenglum. If you mix all tables made by me, jack and all others you could cook up some dwarfish madness.
Bearded are the sons of steel and mead, those born in the mountain forge!
