Reylis Dwarven Thumb Culture

In certain parts of Nesoläme there exist a Dwarven culture reverence for thumbs and when they should be used.

There are only certain actions that should be used with a thumb.

As the rule of thumb states:

"Only that which is most passionate for our people, should you use the thumb."

Generally agreed upon actions which thumb use is deemed acceptable are:
 * The act of love making.
 * Any sort of fine art, crafting or expression of one's self.
 * The art of combat.

This cultural entity has also shaped other parts of their culture such as their architecture. Since they can not use their entire hand to open a door, many cities have opted to use rings instead of door knobs to make the task easier. Other cities simply try to build large archways whenever possible to eliminate the need for a door to begin with.

For Dwarves who are unfamiliar with other races, physical contact with one's thumb may been seen as a sign that they are sexually interested in becoming partners. Although, the majority soon learns that other cultures do not hold such honor for their thumbs.
