Given the description, I would call that a mistake. Some other trait should be substituted for it, perhaps Grey Mountains-lore (Region-lore, Grey Mountains).

Having now read this from beginning to end, I have to say that it's may favourite of all TOR publications so far. I've never been a massive fan of Dwarves in any fantasy setting but would happily run a dwarf-only campaign using this supplement as the basis for it.

Awesome work and congrats to all the C7 team who worked on this.

Agreed on all, including the not-so-fan-of-dwarves part.

Let there be a "Lothlórien, the Golden Wood" supplement with the same quality as this one, please.
It could include information on the Field of Celebrant and the Brown Lands.
Leave the info on the Dimrill Dale for the Moria mini-campaign we all wish for.

I hope the Moria book is as thick as the core rule book. I'd pay $100 for it. Happily.

And just think, we are still awaiting the Heroic Culture of the Dwarves of the Blue Mountains, which might not be too different from the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain as most of the inhabitants of Erebor were likely born in the Blue Mountains (or the Iron Hills). One difference I would expect is for the standard of living of the Blue Mountain Dwarves to be Prosperous rather than Rich.

I doubt that we will see anything on any Dwarves of the East any time soon.

The only thing I've missed is info and plans of some lost dwarven kingdom from the Grey Mountains. The Greydelve, mainly, as it could be used as a new home for the new Grey Mountain Dwarves culture and a lair for a dragon. Maybe in the future...

And it would add to the Darkening campaign, developin a very liked loose thread as is Frár the Beardless.

...there's a hidden cache of the hoard of Scatha somewhere in Framsburg, which might contain weapons and armour capable of giving an edge against dragons (as the ones depicted in the Erebor supplement). Those might be needed to take down the worm that inhabits the deeps of Greydelve.

I would have thought Prosperous rather than Frugal. They trade and the books mention that Dwarves travelled the road through The Shire on a fairly regular basis. There's a trade route between the Blue Mountains and The Shire / Breeland, if not beyond to Dunland.

I want to second this, a Moria campaign a-la "Darkening of Mirkwood" would be an instant-buy for me. :D
