Longbeard

Description from original post (created 2016-05-29 15:24):

The most experienced warriors in a dwarf army are the longbeards. They have slain more enemies, fought in more wars, and this is all shown in the ridiculous length of their beards. They are also quite well known for grumbling about how the goblins around now days are smaller and weaker or how the young dwarves do not respect their elders. Still don't take my word for it, I'm not a dwarf (even though sometimes I have thought about it). I'll have a long beard tell you about it.

"When you've got proper beards you might understand what a bit of gnollengrom means, what it's like to respect a Dwarf for the fullness of his beard. This beard here says I'm old, and that means I knows best, and you knows that too, so that's why you're going to listen to my advice, then you can grow up to be a proper Dwarf and pass on your advice to the next generation. Remember, a Dwarf's only as big as his beard!..."—Durgrim Redmane, Longbeard
