Dwarven Winter Festival

The dwarves of Taluma have two primary celebrations throughout the year, celebrating the advancement of the year, but more importantly honoring their tutelary deities Sol and Eosta, the Lord and Lady of the sun and Eost, the planet: fire and earth. They occur at the beginning and midpoint of what the dwarves consider a year, starting with the rise of the sun on the winter solstice and the midway point of the summer solstice.

Dwarf Beverages

Though dwarves are known for consumption of ale, there are actually few dwarven brews, instead they purchase barrels from humans and they drink it like water - to them it is a ‘soft’ drink, and even youth drink it seemingly unaffected by its low alcohol content. They make their own spirits from other sources than grain.
