Welcome to Curious Quill, an original content resource for d20 roleplaying.

The Quill already spent a season each on dwarves, elves, urchins (smalfolk) and orcs. Along with humans, these are considered the ‘civilized’ people of the world. But there are other mortal beings across the land. Follow the posts this season and the mortals tag to learn more about other sentient beings of Taluma and fantasy settings in general.

Dwarf Clan Names

Dwarf clans are named in a similar manner to dwarven bynames.

They may also be named after their homeland: their hold, a landmark, or other regional feature; or something historical like a famous battle they won.
