Dwarven Boasting Contest - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The purpose of this thread is to proclaim that Dwarves are the greatest of all races. We are slayers of Dragons and builders of great stone halls. We are brewers of the finest ales in all the land and collecters of treasures, great and small.

So proclaim how great the Dwarves are. Though I guess the "lesser" races could proclaim how "great" they are too.

(OOC: I just started this as a fun diversion. Pick your favorite race and list some of their great accomplishments. I tried not to list too much about the Dwarves so others can jump in.

Now the one rule is this. This is a boasting contest, say how great your race is but DON'T attack others races. So "Dwarves are the strongest and hardiest race of all because we can throw a troll from a mountain top and bounce it five times" is a good boast, but "Dwarves are the best because Elves are so frail a strong breeze can blow them away to the West" is bad. Emphasis the good points of your race, not the bad points of another. In the examples above trolls are used as a reference, but elves are used as a target.

Go to it, start boasting!)
