The Thistledew Clan is the only clan to remain neutral during the civil war.
About
A cryptic lineage that held neither with the north or the south but seemingly only with the roar of the waters and the surety of the chain.
The dour Dwarf Thistledew clan maintain the Chainway as they are the only clan to remain neutral between the Imperial Dwarfs and Free Dwarfs, they also mediate to allow the Chainway to be a place where Free and Imperial dwarfs met each other to talk matters of state or just re-unite with estranged relatives or friends.
Alas, the Chainway was severed over a decade ago, when the Abyssal Dwarfs invaded from the north and took the Halpi Mountains for themselves. They were met by the dwarfs of the Thistledew clan.
Although they had chosen to take no part in the defence or the evacuation, they knew of the infernal forces awaiting on the distant shore and knew what must be done. It was the head of that clan, Baine Thistledew, who hefted his enchanted Greataxe and stuck the massive chains. Though it took many blows, eventually the link was shorn in two.
With a sound of tortured metal, the entire Chainway pulled away from the shore and sank into the depths. The dwarfs stood in a sullen silence, considering the loss of the sacred meeting place and what it meant for the future of their kind. They awaited the Abyssal Dwarf invasion. It never came.
