HISTORY OF AN ARMY:
Kalar Stonefist who is the leader of a small dwarven outpost at the base of the grey mountains, has been ordered by the King of Karak Norn to send an expedition to Karak Azul to seek the assistance of Thorek Ironbrow, the most famous Dwarven Runesmith in history. Kalar Stonefist, and the stonefist clan, who were once some of the greatest stone masons in the dwarven realms, were sent into exile by Thorgrim Grudgebearer (the Dwarven High King of Karaz a Karak) for failing to breech the defenses of an Orc Stonghold in Death Pass. The plan was simple, the stonefists were to tunnel below the stronghold and place explosives, which would be ignited as the main Dwarf Force assaulted the walls. Kalar at the time was extremely fond of drinking, and instead of lighting the fuse to the explosives, he lit a fuse that led back to a pile of explosives sitting in the camp. Needless to say, the assault failed, and hundreds of dwarves lost their lives that day. Kalar was held accountable, and his entire clan was exiled from the worlds edge mountains. Kalar made his way to the Grey Mountains with his remaining clan, and the King of Karak Norn allowed him to create a settlement on the outskirts of his territory. Since that time, many of the Stonefist Clan have lost the skills they were once so proud of, and have instead become seasoned warriors against the local night goblin incursions.
Kalar, knowing that this request from the King of Karak Norn could help put his clan back in some semblance of good graces with the High King, accepts this task gladly. He assigns his eldest son and heir to the clan, Karal Stonefist, to the expedition and gives him 20 of the clans best warriors. And so, our story begins...
KARAL STONEFIST, DWARF THANE, ELDEST SON OF KALAR STONEFIST
Karal Stonefist, the eldest son of the King of the Stonefist Clan Kalar Stonefist. Karal, a mere 108 years old, has been given a critical mission by his father, Kalar. He was tasked to travel to Karak Norn, retrieve a package from the king of Karak Norn, then proceed to travel to Karak Azul to present the package to Thorek Ironbrow for examination. A simple box inscribed with one glowing rune... Along with thsi the King of Karak Norn also gave him sent with him 10 of his best warriors, from his own personal guard (The Gryphons Talons), and a letter that he was told to present to each King that he came across on his way to Karak Azul, but oathsworn not to read himself.
BHALGUR'S SUREFIRES - DWARF QUARRELLERS
Bhalgur Surefire, another dwarf of a young age, being born the same year as Karal Stonefist, has quickly become one of the best and most reliable hunters of the Stonefist Clan. Not having a "proper" fighting force, Karal asked Bhalgur to gather his best hunters together to form a fine crossbow regiment. Bhalgur did this, and within a matter of hours the Surefires were ready for this grand adventure.
DREGAR'S TREESTOMPERS - DWARF WARRIORS
Every dwarf of the Stonefist clan, no matter his station, is required to have a proffession and to be a warrior. In times of war the Stonefist clan calls its levies together into loose groups of individuals. In this case, the tree cutters of the Stonefist clan have banded together under the leadership of Dregar Treestump when they heard of the expedition of Karal. Sharpening their blades for the journey, this group is anxious to prove its worth in battle.
THE GRYPHON'S CLAW - DWARF LONGBEARDS
The Gryphon's Claw is an elite guild within Karak Norn that comprises some of the mightiest warriors within the hold, all of whom are oathsworn to the King of Karak Norn himself and would gladly give their lives in his service. The King has granted this small contingent to protect Karal on his quest, knowing what few other Dwarfs know, that the outcome of this mission could very well be the end for what remains of the Dwarven Empire.
