Fight Club
One of the most popular forms of entertainment in the under
realms is gladiatorial combat, or – as most accursed call it – ‘The
Fight Club.’
There are pits and cages in every subterranean settlement, and all
who fight in them are volunteers. Successful fighters are admired
by all, and are often offered high-ranking positions within the
Dark Lord’s armies.
Burned
Just like the ‘mauled’ dwarves who submit themselves to an
excruciating and disfiguring ritual in order to enter into the direct
service of an underlord, so too are an extremely select number of
dwarves allowed to press their faces into a brazier full of red hot
coals in order to prove their undying allegiance to The Dark Lord
himself, and enter into his direct service.
Demonic
To drink from the bile duct of a slimy caranc is to invite a painful
transformation, offset by some unique physical benefits. To eat the
juicy sac at the base of a caranc brain is to become demonic … and
choose madness.
Demonic dwarves live a life of unending fury. They are consumed by
aggression and bloodlust which cannot be satiated. The rare few
who choose this fate, do so because they also gain levels of strength
and agility unmatched by virtually any other mortal dwarf.
