> Brief Summary of Nation:
The Urotti Dwarves are a proud and honor-bound people emerging from the shadows of a great cataclysm that nearly obliterated their civilization. Having sought refuge in their ancient capital, Thul Urdor—which now lies in ruins—they are determined to rebuild and reclaim their former glory. Their society is deeply rooted in clan lineage and ancestral worship, with each clan tracing its heritage back to legendary dwarves of old. Honor, ancestry, and unbreakable oaths form the bedrock of their culture. In the aftermath of the Great Betrayal by one of their own, the Urotti became obsessed with maintaining the purity of their bloodlines to prevent the betrayer's seed from spreading. Social standing is heavily influenced by the purity of one's lineage, and being clan-less is considered a fate worse than death.
> Optional Fluff:
Clad in tradition, the Urotti Dwarves hold regular clan moots and grand moots to settle disputes and forge alliances. Their honor system is highly performative; oaths made publicly are sacrosanct, and breaking one can lead to exile or even death. The king and queen are revered as incarnations of the ancestor gods Adir and Aira, serving as spiritual parents to the nation. Grudges can last generations, and elaborate rituals exist to resolve them—sometimes culminating in duels or hefty reparations paid in gold. The ruins of Thul Urdor stand as a haunting reminder of both their glorious past and the challenges that lie ahead. Yet, with steadfast determination, the Urotti are mining, forging, and storytelling their way toward a renaissance, driven by an unyielding commitment to honor and tradition.
