Flamebeard Dwarves

The Flamebeard Dwarves are a cartel of red-headed Dwarves based in the Cadogan Weir. They are widely considered to be the toughest gang in the city, largely due to the power and influence of their leader Jurgen Flamebeard. Most of the cartel claim to be related to Jurgen in some way, making the Flamebeards the only family based cartel among the Weir Dwarves. Jurgen claims to have dragon blood in his heritage, which is what gives him and his descendants their fiery hair colour. This would also explain the unusual number of fire-focussed sorcerers and wizards that the Flamebeards count among their number. On the other hand, while Jurgen has definitely been prolific, it's an open secret that many of the Flamebeards dye their hair in order to be accepted and recognised as members. Due to the Weir Dwarf culture of tall tales, it's difficult to separate out the truths from the boasts as far as the Firebeards are concerned, and this just makes them all the more feared and respected.
