How to Roleplay

Dwarves are easy to play and easy to play badly. The trap is the accent and the beard, and nothing else. Give your dwarf a clan and a reason to be where they are.

Start With Your Clan

Bronzebeard, Wildhammer, or Dark Iron? That decides your home, your friends, and your enemies. A Bronzebeard in Kharanos and a Wildhammer at Aerie Peak are not the same dwarf.

Character Hooks

• A mountaineer who has spent years on trogg duty.
• An Explorers' League digger convinced the Discs hold the truth about the dwarves.
• A Wildhammer gryphon rider far from Aerie Peak.
• A survivor of the fall of Dun Modr.
• A Thunderbrew brewer who wants to win the next lager contest.
• A smith in Ironforge whose best friend is a gnome refugee.
• A Dark Iron defector who left Thaurissan's court.
• A priest studying the Light in the Hall of Mysteries.

Rules of Thumb

• Do not play Magni, Muradin, Falstad or Moira. They belong to the world.
• Under no circumstances should your dwarf be a secret heir to Ironforge. Moira has that covered.
• Don't hand your dwarf an accent that is just a Scottish impression. Give them a voice.
• Dwarves argue, but they're loyal. Let your character be both.
• Stick to established lore, and check the Forever pages for the new Shaman class.
