The legendary and foolish dwarf hero Dunforth wove his beard into a shirt, forsaking all other forms of armor.

The dwarven god of battle, Clangeddin Silverbeard, was so impressed by this gesture that he invested Dunforth's beard with power, making it strong as chain mail.

Abbathor the Trove Lord conspired to trick foolish Dunforth into gambling his beard away. Shamed as only a beardless dwarf can be, Dunforth tried to redeem himself by single-handedly exterminating an orc village.

Though he slew thirty of his foes, the overwhelming number of orcs eventually felled the armorless Dunforth, and the beard shirt remains as part of Abbathor's hoard.

The lesson of Abbathor the Trove Lord is simple, pride is fine but your hoard is better, and never ever bet against Him
