Kyre-Geddon

Main Page > Places > Kyre-Geddon

This is a dwarvish nation, separate from Stonehelm and much less integrated with human cultures. They were not part of the Empire of Cardmoor and are not part of the Triumvirate. They were hurt but not destroyed by the War of the Dead, and did not participate in the Battle of Rindamoor.

They still worship Ghazant, the old dwarf God from before most of the Stonehelm dwarves joined the Church of the Four.

Families from Kyre have a caste system identified by the middle-designate of their names. And it goes a little like this (in terms of rank):
 * van = "royalty"
 * del = "dignitary"
 * ij = (pronounced "I") "land-owner"
 * sel = "worker"
 * kij = "disgraced" (pronounced "k-eye") this is the lowest

Well, if you have none then that's the lowest... but I think you'd have to be a political prisoner or officially outcast at that point. Also for orphans/unclaimed children they have no middle until grown and find a place (so it's a blessing/curse to be without parents... might be one of the only ways to have social mobility but growing up you are akin to an outcast and have to constantly prove yourself). Also the orphan/unclaimed's last name is always: 'Shale'
