Whether in a small settlement, or a gigantic Fortress, Dwarves will rarely be alone. Groups of Dwarves, linked by family ties, a shared profession or perhaps taking part in the same battle, will often form clans. Dwarves wil be born into their family clans and it is with great thought that they tear themselves away from that name and join another, or start one from scratch. Rarely is it seen as dishonouring the family, as most families can then claim they have distant relatives in the most prestigious clans in the land.

Dwarven names are as varied as they come, so it is quite often easy to identify when a Dwarf still has his family clan name. They can often sound foreign, or esoteric. The forming of a clan is, unlikely, not a rigid thing. If it is a small group of Dwarves who survived a fight against a particularly nasty Forgotten Beast, they may wish to name their clan after something that memorialises that kill; Slugslayer, Beastsmasher, etc. Esteemed guilds and groups of craftsmen will often have formed a clan long ago, often asking that apprentices that have advanced to journeymen, or masters of their craft, to take their clan name as well. Examples might include Gemcutter or Hammerhand. They may be related to a specific piece of clothing, or a particular trait of an ancestor; Ironbeard, Stonefoot, etc. Rare is the Dwarf who does not belong to a clan and rarer still is the Dwarf who will tell you why.
