Redcap Dwarves

Redcaps Dwarves (also known simply as Redcaps) are a clan of surface dwelling dwarves who live on the slopes of the Black Hills. Descended from Oloin the Red, who ruled Grofheim as King in the time of the Dead World. Having sided with Dormondus and the legions of the dead, Oion was deposed and banished when the Duram the Black took the city with the help of Bjor Dragonslayer. Despite this blemish on their family history, the taint of undeath upon their bloodline, and more than a little inbreeding, the Redcap dwarves are a proud clan, and they do not suffer trespassers lightly. The Black Hills are cruel above the tunnels of Grofheim, and Redcaps have learned to be crueler. They live off cliff growing ruffiage and goat meat up in the high mountains, and it is said that their Lantern Goats are as cruel and tainted as they are.
