The battlefield is a scene of constant chaos. The winner will be the one who controls that chaos, both his own and the enemies.

Dwarves you mean?
Dwarven would mean an object made by a Dwarf would it not?
EDIT: Or at least ownership or something along those lines.
Really, Dwarvens as peoples just doesn't sit right with me.

Classic Tolkienesque heritage actually dictates that the plural of Dwarf should be Dwarfs, and the adjective form should be Dwarfen--or just Dwarf, I can't recall now.
Dwarves and Dwarven do sound like much better English, however, and like most modern mythical anthropologists, I accept and even prefer this more common convention.

I seem to remember a story about the editors who had Tolkien's 1st manuscript. They changed all of the 'Dwarfs' to Dwarves', and the 'Elfins' to 'Elvins'. Tolkien had said there were to many changes to go through and re-edit, but he always wished the original words had been kept. His writings were based on Middle Earth, as were their languages.

Greeting all.
First, The Dlords (or Dwarven Lords) are actively recruiting and excited by all the new players. Please visit our Home page and shoot me an 'In Game Mail' (IGM) for admittance - if you are a dwarf :)
As for the comments about the plural form of the word Dwarf.
While yes there is discussion as to how to properly convey the word in a plural sense, historically Dwarfs, was most commonly used referring to a people group. However, the term 'Dwarven', which I choose to employ, encompasses a larger field than just a name meaning "very short human' or 'very tiny'.
For me, the word was chosen to depict more than a people group of relegated to stature alone (as the term Dwarf implies) BUT TO ALSO capture their cultural uniqueness as a group. Thus I use the term 'Dwarven' to convey and portray, in a word, their civilization as a particular people group.

Hello,
We are still recruiting and revamping out alliance, which means some change but based upon the recommendations of alliance membership. So come on board and help build up the Dwarven Kingdoms as we expand and explore this vast world of Illyriad
