[efuincarnate]

Aversion to short, stout folks? Loathe doing a terrible version of a scottish accent? (See Dwarven Veteran Voice Set for ref) Well, the Delve now accepting gnomes! That's right, become a favored friend of the Delve, and bring on the gnomish goodness.. Ever seen a gnomish fighter wielding a warhammer? An intimidating site! A gnomish furnomancer?  A wild (may not exist in reality beyond posters imagination) gnome ranger with on arm and one leg? Well,..now is your chance! The Delving is taking in the gnome kin! Bring the gnomish goodness!

P.s..we got tons of plot, and conflict to go around! Don't delay, roll up a gnome today!

Some new developements in the Delving are making it easier and more fun than ever to be a Delving-centric PC.

There's room for more than dwarves, or even just dwarves+gnomes even if you are interesting in something more unique! The Delving doesn't have to be everything your PC is also. Personally I have had GREAT fun treating the Delving more like a home-town rather than a faction in itself. So consider the Delving for your next concept related purchase!

The New Delving: An Equal Opportunity Employer

The New Delving: An Equal Opportunity Employer

The Beginning

The Delving, a stout, fortified stronghold of dwarf and gnome kin and   cousins. At least until one fateful night on Marponeth 24th, 1382 DR.   On this night, a force of trolls lead by a duo of immensely powerful   giants, sometimes referred to as the Noor, sieged the Delving.

The Fall

The Delving might have stood firm, fortified in their mountain home   against attack, if not for the staggered betrayals of two once trusted   members of the Delving. Two powerful relics, stolen and Delivered to the   Noor by Morduin Kazark began their downfall. Then on the night of Marponeth 24th during the siege, again they were betrayed by Morduin Kazark and his new ally within the Delving; Efrain Aberforth Widdlytink, a shifty, duplicitous Caermyn Master Merchant. Together they kidnapped the thane for the giants during the fighting,   forcing a surrender or risk the death of their beloved and rightful   ruler of the Delving.

The Aftermath

The Delving today has become a dark mockery of what it once was. Now ruled over by the two giants, Zohlrunde and Hrigonna, aided   by a small force of trolls. The giants are said to be mysterious,   powerful creatures, sometimes referred to as "the Noor" or "of the   Noor".

The giants now seek to hear oaths of fealty from those who wish to serve   the Delving's new kings. The combined wealth of the dwarven delving,   and the immense treasure trove of the Noor is a powerful incentive to many people ofmany races. The new rulership of the Delving seem more than   willing to accept the fealty of any race or person....so long as they   kneel, and serve loyally. The massive combined wealth of what was once   the dwarven Delving's treasure, and the already impressive treasures   of the giant-kings is a powerful lure to the power hungry and greedy. The rumored veins of ore around the Delving not-withstanding.  It  is difficult to predict what shape this new Delving will take, as  it's  numbers begin to fill with an eclectic menagerie of races.

OOC Information:

• Alignment: Any Evil*
  • Other   alignments may be possible if you wish to play a concept that only serves the Delving out of fear for the Thane, or someone who seeks the liberation of the Delving through deceit in swearing a false oath of fealty to the giant-kings.
• Class: Any*
  • Some class combinations may only be permissible as a forced servant to the giant-kings.
• Special: Must swear loyalty and fealty to the giant-kings Zohlrunde and Hrigonna.

OOC Summaration

Effectively the Delving has been forcefully conquered by the giants Zohlrunde and Hrigonna. Those   few dwarves and gnomes who survived the assault are now faced with a   terrible choice, their thane being held against his will. Either swear   fealty to the new giant-kings, or flee in search of a new dwarf-home,   abandoning their rightful ruler to mistreatment at the hands of the less   than gentle administrations of the new "Delving".
