BY ORDER OF THE GRAND MARSHAL 

 

In recognition of astounding bravery in the field of battle, Durgar Ireheart is to be awarded with an official induction into the Legion Hall of Fame and is to be promoted posthumously to the rank of Longbeard within the Dwarven Legion. His valiant disposition against the forces of the Inferni tide stands as a testament to the honor and resilience of the Dwarven people as a whole.

 

OFFICIAL HALL OF FAME CITATION: 

 

Upon the eve of the Siege of Korvassa, Durgar left his humble job as a barkeep and once again took up his axe, marching his way to the frontlines of a desperate battle. The battle however was lost, in a swift defeat the forces of the Inferi alliance were broken and they quickly fled to the ships. As the battered defenders ran for their lives and settled atop the boats, they could see a single dwarf who stood in defiance of the inferi. For several hours he brutally cut down demon after demon until the General himself, enraged at his failure, smited the Ireheart where he stood. Because of this determination, the garrisoned forces in the city could flee without a demon on their trail following.

 

NOTES OF THE GRAND MARSHAL:

 

“Durgar Ireheart signifies to the Joint Command the true honor and intrepidity one dwarf can show in the face of overwhelming odds. It is in my personal belief that in his final moments Durgar knew that he would not live to see our carved halls once more, he understood he left behind family in the name of country yet he did not falter and fought to the bitter end. I understand this will do little to replace Durgar but it will let his legacy continue on as one of valor and integrity. To those of Clan Ireheart I express my deepest condolences on the death of Durgar in the line of duty, he symbolized the resolve of your Clan and I hope you will accept this commendation in his name.”

 

In the valor of Dungrimm and honor of Urguan

Lulubelle Starbreaker brings a fist up to her breastplate, “Narvak oz Durgar!“

[Masouri 2735]

“Represent” Durorn Ireheart would state, proudly pounding his chest to assert the Line of Dreek’s dominance.

[Elite Snipes 3563]

Bakir Ireheart would smile hearing the announcement, Proud being able to call Durgar Brother.  Durgar fought like an Ireheart and died like an Ireheart. Bakir lifted his head up towards the sky, smiling knowing he'd see his fellow brother in the glory of Dungrimms halls. "Narvok oz Kjellos! "

Aghuid waltses out of the clan forge, just sharpening his axe, the Daemonsteel axe he made that is slightly tinted with his blood, his blood oath he made to Durgar. he sat down on the table to enjoy a warm meal, he recieved this information via a letter that drifted onto his plate. As he read the note, he would drag his rough, callused fingers over the engravement he made of Durgars face in the axe. Hed mumble under his breath, gripping the prayer beads on his wrist “Durgar, oi donnae know ef yeh can ‘ear meh, bot oi mess yeh, and oi donnae know ‘ow to up’old moi promese” tears began to form under his eyes as they dripped onto the note “ oi donnae  know ‘ow to up’old yeh ‘onor, yeh were so much bettah dan meh, and oi can naevah fergev moiself fer wot oi ded to yeh. wot oi wouldnae gev to speak wet’ yeh fer un last toime” Aghuid sat there in his empty clan hall, sobbing over his food. the only light was the glow of the forge and the light of a lone candle, glowing up the details of durgars face in Aghuids axe.
