Low-Born Dweller

Background

The dwarves of the Miner, Merchant, and Servant Castes do the hard work, day after day, that keeps Orzammare functioning. The Miner castes is the most prestigious of these three, particularly those that do the dangerous job of mining lyrium. The Merchant Caste is the next most important, as they bring money into the city and arrange valuable trade deals. The Servant Caste is the lowest, though even they rank above surface dwarves and the casteless.  

Of this group it is the members of the Merchant Caste who are most likely to leave Orzammare or become adventurers. Trade deals often lead to contact with ponies and the surface dwarves were originally part of the Merchant Caste. Sometimes a member of the Merchant Caste will join their kin on the surface despite the loss of status at home. This happens more rarely with members of the Miner and Servant Castes, though it is not unknown for miners to sell their expertise to pony nations for gold and other riches.
