Thulduric

The dwarves of Thur Malduhr speak Thulduric, which has been passed down through many centuries. While each clan in the Ironcano Summit had its own dialect, their languages had common origins. As the clans began to gather more frequently, particularly after the Council was formed to adjudicate conflicts and govern property rights, their speech became more cohesive and unified.

This hybrid language, rich in shared idioms and expressions, eventually became known as Thulduric. It was practical, intuitive, and closely related to dwarven culture and values.

When dwarves first began to spread to the surface, they rapidly realized that most other kingdoms utilized two main languages: Worldest "Common", which many believed was bestowed by the Gods and Goddesses and used in diplomacy, and a local tongue peculiar to each country. While dwarves could understand and utilize Worldest, they discovered that it lacked the cultural weight and depth of their own language.

To maintain their identity, they began translating many of their local idioms and sayings into Worldest, bringing the passion and grit of Thulduric with them even in everyday interactions. Over time, some of these dwarven expressions spread around the world, becoming common vernacular as symbols of perseverance, craft, and pride.

Today, Thulduric is still evolving. While modern influences have changed its vocabulary, it is nevertheless a central pillar of dwarven society in Thur Malduhr a living tribute to shared history, hard-earned solidarity, and the stone's eternal voice.
