Warhammer Fantasy lore is great.

Dwarf Women, while rarer, tend to live longer and are generally more likely to reach Living Ancestor status, at which point they take on the moniker "Daughters of Valaya".

It should also be noted that Kragg the Grim is the the oldest dwarf ever mentioned aside from Grombrindal, Kragg is over 1000 years old.

To be something of a ****: for the longest period in human history, brewing was more or less a pure womens job (exceptions existed as always)

The pointy heads witches were, were originally worn by saleswomen who brewed their own bear and sold it on market days. Not to mention the cauldrons in which the beer was brewed.
And several old marriage oaths or nursery rhymes mention, that baking and brewing within the same houshold belonged to the duties of a competent wife.
Only in the last 300-200 years with the industrialization took men over the brewing buisness, as womens were not allowed to retain property, especally not valuable factories.

After reading that paragraph of an appretince offering his dark ale, I somehow thought about the history of brewing. Sorry if I annoy someone with this trivial information.

It is War of Vengeance by the way, not War of Beard. Was this text written by an elgi scholar?

Dwarfs' acts being three ages, At first the infant,
Bearded and grouchy in his nurse's mail-clad arms;
Then the feckless, reckless youth, with his dynamite satchel
And shining hungover face, red as a beet,
Unwillingly to the forge. And then the Elder,
Sighing like a furnace, grouchy as a badger,
Pards wish they had beards like them.
Even the cannon's mouth, cannot swear like them.
Rancour at the ill discipline of youth;
Gyrocopters, in my time indeed?! I need another mead.


Tl;Dr: Bearded and bawling at birth (and grouchy). Drunk and brawling of age (and grouchy). Drunk and (even more) grouchy at last. ... Oh, and 20 cannons apiece.
