pronounced Dar-gay-dee-an
When most people speak of the Stoneborn, they speak of the Dargadians, as they are the most common of the mountain people. They are often the embodiment of resourceful craftsmen and resolute guardians of their traditions. Beneath the mountains, they dwell in great halls, revel in vast chambers, and make their merriment in huge feast halls with roaring fires while consuming all manner of roast beast and heavy mead.
When venturing forth into the world above, the Dargadians often serve as merchants or craftsmen, setting up their trade and establishing themselves over long years of trade and toil. They are traditionally known for their hard work ethic and ability to work stone and steel in ways that make others envious.
Dargadians often have long memories, and share tales of those who have betrayed them. Those who have done wrong to one often find themselves shunned by all Dargadians. They often find that the services and capabilities that are regularly taken for granted suddenly disappear, as Stoneborn craftsmen refuse to work for them, and merchants simply refuse to sell them more than the most meager of scraps. Woe to those who betray a Dargadian.
