Dwarf of the Day: âDruinn Craterfootâ When Druinn was infected with the beard sickness, all his clan mourned when the doctor came with his black shears, for it is believed that much of a Dwarfâs soul is in his beard.
A dwarfâs rowdiness, tenacity, and fierceness are all stored in the bristles of their beard, and when a Dwarf becomes clean shaven, they change. They start to wonder if the fellow theyâre about to fight really meant to offend them when they offered them a sip of lite ale, they start to think that maybe they should make more effective farming tools instead of axes with self-sharpening blades, and at the final stage of beardlessness, they start to wonder if trolls and giants might have feelings and desires of their own. Its like a living death, and when Druinn had his beard cut, he took a long walk through the halls of Bruin to think about his life (the first stage of beardlessness!). All the sudden, he went home, and found that his beard had come to life. It was running all over the room, and it was even growling the way Druinn used to growl! Druinn was overjoyed, for his beard has returned to life.
Literally no one else believed that this was what had happened. When his neighbor insisted that a dog found its way into Druinnâs parlor, and that beards canât come back to life, Druinn glared at him in a way only a bearded dwarf could. Druinn was back to his old self, and so the Dwarves, in an uncharacteristic display of sympathy, humored Druinn until his beard grew back.
Druinn is now bold as ever, because he knows that even should something happen to his new beard, his old beard is safe at home doing zoomies.
On a side note, Brelg Downahole is looking for his terrier, if you have seen it, please post a note on the bulletin at town hall.
