idle thought, and hopefully this isn't insulting to plural folks or people with multiple personalities in some other way, but I wonder if a Dawi with multiple personalities could declare a grudge on any of them?
A something is only a weed if you want it gone, that's my view.And then I spend tge next 45 minutes reading up on Warhammer weeds. Cause why not?
It bears noting that the bill hooks could be developed into something akin to a falx, and the romans were terrified of falxs.Preview:
The foresters and herders among the Brightstone clan use a variety of weapons derived from tools that differentiate them from the average Dawi. Their weapons are derived from agricultural and forestry implements, as well as hunting tools. Alongside their crossbows, the Dawi foresters and herders have found themselves wielding different weapons to their kin.
Brightstone War Bill:
The Bill used by the Brightstone clan is an excellent if unconventional weapon for dawi. Derived from the billhooks used for tending to their orchards. This version of the bill has a short curved spike on one side for swinging like a pick, a hook on the other side for grabbing onto foes and hacking into them, a spearpoint on the tip for thrusting, and a counterweight with a spike at the bottom for stock-strikes and quick jabs.
Brightstone Mattock:
War picks are a popular weapon among the Dawi, but for the Umgdawi and Gazani who spend more time digging through dirt than rock, the horizontal mattock has replaced the vertical pick. They are as suitable for quickly digging through soil and roots, as they are for hacking through unarmoured foes. Each Dawi's mattock will have a weapon on the other side that suits their profession. Some have an axe blade, a regular pick, or a hammer for breaking rocks and skulls.
Brightstone Billhook:
The original inspiration for the war bill. This sword-like weapon bends forward into a hook and serves as an excellent short slashing sword, equally good for hacking through underbrush and tree roots, as goblins and skaven. The back of the blade is ragged, ensuring that if the weapon is thrust, it will rip out the entrails of what it struck. The hook is not blunted and instead has a sharp spike. This can be used to drive into armour and bone, but also to hook into a target.

Bill and mattock infantry:
Heavy spears and boat-hunting.
Acquiring mountain ponies:
The Earthshaper family was noted to be making glass and porcelain alongside works of clay, back when we were creating our clan.
Exactly! Think in this direction:
It should be impossible for a warhammer fantasy dwarf to have Multiple Personaity Disorder. Since Multiple Personality Disorder doesn't happen overnight, it's usually a long internal acquired trait development, until eventually you get the split.
Let's see.....
If people wish to contribute to the worldbuilding. There is room for writing in the names of Families within the clan and which trade they perform. Like the Honeybeards being based on an earlier Omake.
If it's big, it becomes a skaven hiding place.
Daaamn, we managed to gank the head of their Hammerers? That certainly sent a message alright.
Glad to see we're already getting popular with the Umgdawi to the point we might have to start turning them away due to crowding. Gotta make sure we get a handle on that, more Dawi the better I say.
Why would we take some Umgak Ponies, when we have fierce and mighty Aurochs to ride?
That's going to be a long term project that's going to start a long time in the future.
I'd first start by making some nice greenhouses for the year round farming and climate specific crops. It would be the single largest collection of glass in the Empire, a demonstration of our glassworking ability, and an advertisement to every wealthy umgi. Do note that we might need an engineer familiar with steam to create a system of pipes to keep things warm enough.
