The Gilded Hammer

The Dwarfs of the Platinum Tower are the richest merchants in the world. In antiquity before the founding of The Gilded Hammer, almost 800 years ago one of the few remaining clans of dwarfs still living opened a new cavern in the Hellborne Mines and uncovered a massive mound of Platinum ore. Since then, the two largest clans and a handful of the remaining small clans joined together and formed The Gilded Hammer. The aging current patriarch Drumpf Gildedhammer has been grooming his eldest son Grimnir to be his successor. Dwarfs numbers are very small, roughly only 2000 or so, as such they are typically always in positions of power such as advisors, governorship, or luxury traders, all agents working to further The Gild’s goals. All dwarfs are associated with The Gild, and as such are given a yearly stipend. They are not above bribing or intimidation to achieve their goals. They also practice their own religion called “The Freemasons”. It's rumored that in these secret rituals they practice macabre and perverted rites, with extreme excess, blood sacrifice, and negotiating with devils.
