The thirteen clan chiefs were responsible for electing a monarch: the monarch was the final authority over all the clans. Each clan had its own clan chief, who was a member of the Council. The dwarves were split into thirteen distinct, miniature societies called clans. During Galbatorix's uprising, however, this proved to be something of a blessing, because the dwarves escaped the downfall of the Riders and the subsequent havoc wreaked by the new king and his minions. As a result, it was impossible for a dwarf to become a Dragon Rider.
The dwarves were not a part of the blood-oath pact between elves, men, and dragons.
Though never escalating into a full-scale war, these battles nevertheless left the two races with a rivalry. Before elves and humans came into Alagaësia, the dwarves and dragons fought in many battles against each other.
