Far to the North of the Dwarven lands, the Bright Dwarves have secluded themselves from Dwarven society. It is rumored that they trade with the more powerful Giant clans, but they are rarely seen. Their masterwork is widely known though. The Bright Dwarves have learned to harness elemental magic to create some of the finest magical weapons available. Some Bright Dwarves are known to travel and even train craftsmen and artisans to help craft the finest weapons. For them, perfection is more important than clan or home.
If you are a Dwarf, you have Bright Dwarf lineage. If you are not a Dwarf you were selected as an apprentice. Either way, you are highly skilled in crafting metal weapons. This includes all the necessary skills to forge, finish, and engrave such weapons, but not the innate ability to enchant them. Creating and collecting enchanted weapons is one of your key interests though.
