Bone-menders are, along with shamans, the most important religious figures to the Urkhaim dwarves. These healers receive patronage from all the gods collectively, giving them their powers of magical restoration, but at a cost. All bone-menders are sworn to lives of silence and neutrality. None are permitted to speak or take sides in any dispute. As a result they are widely trusted and appreciated, welcome even in times of feuds between the dwarven clans, as they can always be relied upon to help tend to the sick and injured. Few bone-menders have homes of their own, instead relying upon the hospitality of strangers as they travel between dwarven communities.
