− | Recent observational studies have given rise to new theories regarding dwarven machinery, the most notable of which being the ''Stringing [[Beard]] Theory''. Accordingly, it is asserted the dwarven beard is in fact a single long strand interwoven across the dwarf's face as if a loosely stitched thread. By plucking out this strand and tying the end to a mechanism, which resembles a sort of [[wikipedia:carabiner|carabiner]], it is believed that a dwarf is able to connect two objects by way of a long (sometimes kilometers in length) strand of beard-hair. This is done quite simply by the dwarf continually plucking more and more of its beard out as it runs from one object to the next, laying out a cable around corners, up ramps, down stairways, and through planned walls (which get built over | + | Recent observational studies have given rise to new theories regarding dwarven machinery, the most notable of which being the ''Stringing [[Beard]] Theory''.

This is done quite simply by the dwarf continually plucking more and more of its beard out as it runs from one object to the next, laying out a cable around corners, up ramps, down stairways, and through planned walls (which get built over top the strand anyways). When a lever is pulled, it pulls the string with it, which in turn actuates the object on the other side. When deconstructing a linked building, the dwarf need only give the strand a flick or two, then it reels in the dangling mechanism from wherever. |
Given the substantial density of dwarven beards, it is plausible that even a depleted beard can be replenished by the time a beard's five-tick shadow emerges. | Given the substantial density of dwarven beards, it is plausible that even a depleted beard can be replenished by the time a beard's five-tick shadow emerges. |
