A clan of mysterious and secretive Dark Dwarves, the Doomforged Clan has stood nearly as long as the elder clans of Urguan. Infamous for their fiery gaze, and their more molten attitudes, they have garnered respect amongst their fellow Dwedmar, no matter the Clan’s state.

ORIGINS

 

The Doomforge Clan has been able to trace its roots all the way back to the final age of Aegis. The progenitor, and Paragon, Urir Ireheart had a shaky union with a dark elf named Feyin Kelzyr. Together, they had three sons, Hodir, Iban and Yorri. These three brothers would be raised by King Thorik Braveaxe, after their Father’s sacrifice.

As they grew older, they wished to find purpose in their lives and traveled to the abandoned and desolate lands of Hanseti. The lands had been destroyed by some poisonous fog, which had led to the umgi nation’s downfall. It is here, within this ruined civilization, that the brothers discovered an entrance to an ancient hold.

The entrance was carved with runes, older than themselves, and upon entering the three would discover the very city of Asgol, and all of its relics. Here, the three brothers made their home, learning the secrets and history of those who had once lived here before, and it was here that they found the Doom Forge. The relic that has become the namesake of the Clan, a large anvil which sat upon a large altar. The three swore to themselves to safekeep it from evil.

To this day, their legacy has shaped and formed the Doomforge Clan, from the sacrifice of Paragon Urir and his fight against the Undead, to the safeguarding of ancient knowledge from the hands of evil. One may see their ashen skin and fiery eyes, and assume many things, but these children of Urir have dedicated themselves to the safety of Urguan, and their Clan.

THE BLOODLINES

 

HODIR’S LINE: Well known for producing notable political figures, Hodir’s line have a mid-tone skin color, compared to their fellow doomforged. They are lighter than Iban’s line, but darker than Yorri’s.This line sports brown hair of all ranges, and uncommonly dark blonde. Their eyes glow a deep, ruby red, similar to the amulets the Doomforged wear.

IBAN’S LINE: The line of Iban are well known for their dark skin and darker hair, usually having a dark gray skin tone and black hair. Their eyes are an orange color, not unlike the lava that flows through the Clan’s Halls. Iban’s line tends to produce warriors of all kinds, stalwart fighters who have dedicated themselves to the clan in some way. This, of course, is not always the case.

YORRI’S LINE: A unique difference from his brethren, Yorri’s line tends to be the lightest skinned of the three, with a light purple undertone. Their eyes glow yellow, like the tips of the flames of the torches in their halls. They have bright, fiery ginger hair as well, a unique difference from the darker coloration of the other two lines. Yorri’s line tends to produce scholars of all kinds, from lorekeepers to religious figures.

DORMIN’S LINE: The line of Dormin is a descendant line to Hodir, with some unique traits. Dormin’s line tends to have the same, deep red eye color, but with a more reddish hair color. Their skin is pale and ashen, much like the Hodir line. They have the unique trait of incredible height, with the tallest of them being nearly 5’6, but tend to be around 5’0. The Onyxheart Clan was born from Dormin’s Line, and thus has familial connection to the Doomforge Clan.

DRAAKOPF’S LINE: Fiery eyes have become the notable marker of Draakopf’s line, a descendant line to Iban. Similar to Iban’s, they have ashen skin, and coal-black hair. In a unique trait, due to their elven heritage they tend to be taller than most other lines, roughly around 4’5 - 5’0. The children of Draakopf have become infamous for their tendency to hoard treasure and relics of some kind. His line has produced many strong warriors and mystical smiths.

VALUES OF THE DOOMFORGED

 

The values of the Clan have shifted over the centuries of its founding, but many core tenets have stayed the same. The current values have been reformed and created to better reflect the clan’s position and thinking within the world, and shall go as follows.

CODE OF CONDUCT:

I. You shall not hurt or harm another Doomforged, unless they have become a threat to the safety of the clan, its property or descendents as a whole.
II. The safety of the Clan must be ensured, and the knowledge we hold is to be kept hidden, and our property protected from outsiders for as long as you live.
III. Never defy the Clan Head, or the Clan Council, for their word is final.
IV. Never defy the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, for it is our home. We shall protect it for as long as we live, unless it has been corrupted by the foul stench of darkspawn.
V. For as long as there's Darkness in our world, you must swear yourself to the cause of destroying it. Be that through combat against them, research into their weaknesses or otherwise. Darkspawn, Azdrazi and other corrupted beings will NOT be tolerated.

CODE OF POLITICS

I. Avoid combat with other descendants at all costs, unless yourself or the Clan has been dishonored. For such, request a trial by combat or other necessary measures to redeem your or the Clan’s honor. Refer to the following clarifications.

A. If dishonor occurs in another nation, abide by their laws, or write a grudge so that it may properly be handled.
B. If dishonor occurs amongst your fellow dwed, it is expected to be handled swiftly and humanely.

II. Do not get involved in the politics of other Clans, for it is not our place to shift the ideals of our fellow brothers and sisters. Our way is our own, and theirs is their own. Maintain that respect.

III. Clan Wars should never be declared, unless a Clan has betrayed the Kingdom, or fallen to the foul stench of darkspawn.

IV. Respect the politics of other Nations, for you represent not only the Clan, but Urguan as a whole. When you travel, keep such respect about yourself, and maintain dignity amongst all descendants.

 

This information has been made public to all other Clans, in hopes that we may maintain our honor and respect amongst our fellow kin. It is also expected that our fellow Clans respect our own codes and values.

PUBLICLY KNOWN TRADITIONS

 

WARFORGING: Once a tightly kept secret of the Clan, Warforging has since spread beyond their halls, and become popular amongst the other clans. By the use of Alchemy, the clan is able to produce notable different effects of various elements, with Lava Forging being the most popular amongst the Doomforged clan. In a unique note, some Doomforged have begun to tattoo over their flesh runes with Lava Tattoos, adding a peculiar glow to the engraved runes upon their skin.

FLESH RUNES: In the current age, little is known about the practice of Flesh Runes, other than the fact they exist. Perhaps in past centuries, these runes functioned in some mystical way, but now that too has been lost. Notably, many Doomforged continue to carve the runes into their skin, refusing to elaborate on their meaning beyond the fact it is a tradition. Further prying into the history of the practice will only lead to a rather angry Doomforged.

BRIGHTIRON EXILES: It has become rather well known amongst the dwedmar, that a Doomforged declared Brightiron has been exiled in some shape or form. The original Doomforged who were forced to take this name, had been exiled for becoming Darkstalkers, a grave sin against the clan and Paragon Urir.
