~=~ The Brathmordakin ~=~

~=~ Yemekar, “The Maker” ~=~

 

Symbol: Hammer and Anvil

Alignment: Lawful Good

Species: Creator

Portfolio: Creation, balance, leader, smithing, protection, metalwork, stonework, fire

Yemekar is the father and creator of the dwedmar. Honor him by emulating his principles and workmanship in smithing, stoneworking, and other tasks. Wisdom is derived from life and tempered with experience. Advance the dwedmar race in all areas of life. Innovate with new processes and skills. Found new kingdoms and clan lands, defending the existing ones from all threats. Lead the dwarves in the traditions laid down by The Maker. Honor your clan leaders as you honor Yemekar.

~=~ Anbella, “Hearth Mother” ~=~

Symbol: Two Silver Rings

Alignment: Lawful Good

Species: Aengul

Portfolio: Safety, honesty, home, healing, marriage, family, fertility, records, oaths, water, nature, peace

 
Anbella is the wife of Yemekar. Just as dwarven souls are forged on Yemekar’s Ruhn-Anvil, they are ever warmed and nurtured by the loving embrace of the Hearth Mother. Tend to hearth, home, and land, drawing strength and safety from truth, tradition, and the rule of law. Join with friends, kin, and clan in common purpose. Do not succumb to the misery of greed or the evils of strife, but always bring hope, health, and cheer to those in need. Once an oath is made, Anbella watches over its keeping - to break it is to wound her sorely. Children must be cherished and guarded well from harm, for they are the future of all dwedmar.

~=~ Dungrimm, “Guardian of The Dead” ~=~

Symbol: An Iron Mask

Alignment: Lawful Good

Species: Daemon

Portfolio: Battle, valor, bravery, honor, defense, the dead, the moon

 
The finest hours of dwedmar kind come in the thrusts and feints of war. Seize the opportunity to defend your kin and ensure their victory when conflict erupts. Revel in the challenge of a good fight and never waiver in the face of adversity, no matter how ominous. Lives should never be thrown away foolishly, but the greatest honor is to sacrifice oneself on the field of battle in service to a righteous cause. Honor the dead and death itself and keep places of the dead inviolate and well tended; the noble ancestors of our race will neither be robbed nor moved through the actions of thieves and defilers. Abide not undead creatures, especially those that take the form of dwarves, thus mocking the creation of Yemekar.

~=~ Belka, “Lady of Passion” ~=~

Symbol: A Lightning Bolt

Alignment: Chaotic Good

Species: Daemon

Portfolio: Love, romance, youth, dancing, courtship, explorers, travellers, seduction, lightning

 
Be merciful in speech and deed. Temper your anger and hostility with constructive and charitable endeavor. The children of the dwarves must live in safety and propagate. Love with a fiery passion. Embrace the gift of life with courtship and marriage. Belka restores the fertile seed of dwedmar life, while Anbella protects the fruit.

~=~ Ogradhad, “The Lore Master” ~=~

Symbol: An Open Book

Alignment: Neutral

Species: Aengul

Portfolio: Scholarship, invention, discovery, knowledge, magic

 
The secrets of the world are waiting to be discovered. Travel widely, broaden your mind at every opportunity, and pursue the life of a scholar. Cultivate the spirit of intrigue among young and be teachers to all. Seek to recover lost and arcane knowledge of ages past and apply it to the world today. Try new methods of doing things just for the joy of experimenting. Learn a little of everything, for you never know what might be of use to you down the road.

~=~ Armakak, “Merchant Father” ~=~

Symbol: A Gold Coin

Alignment: Neutral

Species: Aengul

Portfolio: Wealth luck, chance, negotiation, merchants, cleverness, the sun

 
The truly blessed are those whose enterprise and zeal brings both wealth and good luck. Work hard, be clever, seek the best bargain and the Merchant Father will shower you with gold. Treat others with respect, but shirk not your responsibility to try and strike a better deal for you and for them.

~=~ Grimdugan, “Lord of Avarice” ~=~

Symbol: Obsidian Dagger

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Species: Daemon

Portfolio: Greed, money, merchant, thieves, shadow

 
The wealth of the world was created for those dwedmar crafty enough to capture it by any means necessary. Revel in the possession of all wealth that shines or sparkles, for its form was meant to bring you pleasure. Greed is good, for it motivates the possession and holding of all that is precious. Do not seize wealth for the Children of The Brathmordakin however, nor conspire against the favored of Grimdugan, for strife in the name of avarice weakens the clan.   

 

~=~ Enemies of The Brathmordakin ~=~

~=~ Khorvad, “Lord of Darkness” ~=~

 

Symbol: An Eye

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

Species: Daemon

Portfolio: Undead, chaos, disease, hatred, anger, temptation, ambition

 
Longstanding enemy of the Brathmordakin, Khorvad is an unknown deity whose true history is lost within the winding trails of time. It has been discovered that Iblees and Khorvad are in fact not the same, as it was once thought. The only assured knowledge of Khorvad comes from archaic dwedmar tomes of history, telling a tale of the blatant mal intent brought forth by him. It has also been said that Iblees may be an incarnation of the chaos brought forth by him, bringing this dark creature (Iblees) into existence.

 

~=~ Paragons ~=~

Urguan, The Father

Patron: Yemekar

Symbol: The Mountain

Alignment: Lawful Good

Known as the first dwarf and father of the dwedmar. He defeated Khorvad with the help of Malin, Krug, and Horen. The first dwed city was built by him and named after him. Urguan was known for his great honor and respect during war times. This great dwarf showed respect for his enemies and abided by honorable warfare. In return, many of his enemies showed respect in return. Urguan is the greatest dwarf ever known as well as becoming the first paragon.

 
Yudora, The Hearth Mother

Patron: Anbella

Symbol: Runic Symbol for Water

Alignment: Neutral Good

Mother of Urguan’s sons, and paragon of Birth. This woman was the first mother of the dwedmar kin and the first female dwarf. Some say she was the only person Urguan ever feared, even in all his might and glory. She fought like a beast and drank like a monster. She was the most respected female dwarf of her time.


*The following three paragons are known as “the Three”, who defeated Khorvad in Aegis.

Urir Ireheart, Bane of the Undead

Patron: Dungrimm

Symbol: Runic Symbol for Fire

Alignment: Chaotic Good

The destroyer of the Undead Scourge. Nearing the end times of Aegis, a group of brave warriors ventured into the Nether to have one final strike against the undead. Urir was of this group, fighting his way into the undead taint. At the end of the journey into the Nether Urir reached the legendary Axe of Krug. This was the only thing keeping the Undead to this world. Sacrificing everything, Urir grabbed the Axe and cast himself into the infernal pit of lava, not knowing if his soul would even pass on to the next. Such a great act of selflessness ascended this dwarf to a godly paragon.


Kjell Ireheart, The Emperor Dragon Slayer

Patron: Dungrimm

Symbol: Golden Lightning Bolt

Alignment: Chaotic Good

The Paragon of Dragon Slaying, Kjell has been dubbed Paragon due to his achievement in slaying the six black dragons, killing most with the legion, thus far known as the black scaled sons of the Daemon Khorvad.

Valen brought to the dwarves the first human-dwarf alliance, an end to the war with Krugmar, and his skills as a Commander during the Great War. Valen Grandaxe was also one of the great champions who entered the nether to challenge Khorvad’s scourge and survived to tell the tale. Not only did he reach these achievements, he brought the Kingdom back to its full strength and played an important part in the creation of the Articles of Urguan.

Hiebe Irongut was a leading figure amongst the dwarven people through more than a millennium of service until finally he passed away during the Third Grand Kingdom of Urguan.

Zahrer Irongrinder, Master of Runes

This was exemplified in the construction of the Da Kavir Kor, or The Death Star, which remains the largest steamship ever constructed to this day. His greatest feat, however, is certainly the construction of The Citadel of Arcadia and the reinvigoration of the Runelords. From the floating runic city, he and his fellow runelords strove to reteach the nearly forgotten art of Runesmithing to the dwedmar. It was with his extensive effort and the help of many others that the holy art of Runesmithing was returned to the dwarves.
