So, it started out with looking for some 35-45 circled dwarven hunting partners but now I've expanded on the idea of rewarding those Dwarves for their hard work into true Dwarfhood.
I don't know what to call it, so for now I'll refer to it as The Dwarven Rite of Passage. I'll definitely be fielding ideas for the name.
Basically, if you are circle 40 or over, and a Dwarf, then you get an albredine ring that is tune to other 40 and over Dwarfs all over the realms. I just think it would be cool to tap your ring and be able to say hit to all the Dwarfs in your area.
I see this being a thing that is passed on to the Dwarves you know. Once you see a youngin' make 40th you reward him with the ring (which by the way is the "gleaming" color) and he too can now be part of the elite club.
I will always be carrying around extra rings in order to reward those who've reach the goal. I would encourage those that are of 40th circle to find me so we can tune rings and expand this network.
Also, if you have any ideas on how to expand this idea, I'm totally open.

So I thought it'd be a good idea to make it circle 40+ but I'm finding it hard to find 1 Dwarf much less a 40 or over. Maybe we should make it a thing for any Dwarf? We could just call it The Dwarven Network or something? It'd be great if other Dwarves chimed in.

On second thought, I'm thinking about maybe making it a circle 30 perk. That way we all aren't handing out the rings to anyone that would be leaving the game in like a week, but rather to those that tend to last a bit longer. Yeah, I'm feeling 30. Helvalik, you 30?

Did some travelling today to Haven, Crossing, Shard, and Leth and found some more Dwarfs. He is the list so far:
Gimlias
Sok
Thife
Karthor
Zedrion
Flavius
Whump
Qumar
I just ran out of rings so once I find more I'll go on a rampage again. Though, if you are looking for a ring, you could try any of those guys out as well. Requirements are circle 30 and being a Dwarf.

Added a tuning and using albredine rings page as well as a frequently asked questions page. So, I should be done with it now. Let me know when you all add a new person to The Rite so I can keep an accurate account on the site.

The Dwarven Rite of Passage - Member push on 04/04/2008 11:52 AM CDT
For those of you that may or may not know, we've reach a member status of 28 members. That more members than some of the current Orders that are out there! My short term goal right now is for everyone to try hard to recruit more Dwarves so we can boast a member list of 50.
-If you find a Dwarf under 30th, encourage them to train hard to get to 30th as fast as they can.
-If they meet the requirements, get em a ring!
Once we get 50 member, we'll start doing events with awards and things. But right now I want everyone to focus so we can have a strong base. Keep up the good work guys, we couldn't have gotten this far without everyone chipping in.
