Clan Crystalmace was a clan of dwarves known for their distinctive weapons. I remember reading about them somewhere way back in the 2e era. I found reference to the surname in Thunderdelve, but I'm nearly certain they were mentioned in the FR. Anybody remember the source for this clan or the weapons they were known for? Could have been in Dungeon or Dragon.

A few years back I started to compile a list of all dwarven names in published FR sources. It's not entirely complete, I didn't get to RAS's novels or most 3e books before I got a job and lost the spare time I was using on the project. But with that caveat, I can state that no clan or family Crystalmace appears in FR in the dozens of sources I searched (which includes the entirety of 1e and 2e).

Doggedly converting 3e back to what D&D should be...
Sigh... And now 4e as well.

Yep, no reference to a Realms dwarven clan by the name of Crystalmace that I can think of.

Thank you. My memory must be slipping away. I will have to scrummage around a bit for my old magazines.

The clan I know which is known by its distinctive maces is Ironstar...
