zuluman 79 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 History: The Noble House of Goldhand, also known as Clan Goldhand, extends far back into Dwarven history. The line goes back originally to Tungdil Goldhand, the fifth son of Urguan. The house originally began in Kal’Urguan where the sons of Tungdil Goldhand proudly and honorably served the nation. As time went on the size and prosperity of the house grew. Sons served in the military or the mines, and daughters married well, solidifying strong political alliances. Many of the stories of the individual house members have been lost over the years to the wear and tear of time, but several journals remain chronicling the participation of the family in great wars, and the proud service to the Dwarven crown. With the building of Kal’Alras, several of the Goldhand’s saw an opportunity in the making. The fledgling city would need wealthy and powerful Dwarves to make it prosper. Virtually all of the members quickly joined the Guardians, the military of Kal’Alras, to help fight off bandits and other undesirables while the city was formed. As time progressed the family became more deeply rooted in Kal’Alras. Friendships were formed between the Baron and Overseer. The family also had high ranking positions in the military, and a spot on the Council of Kal’Alras. As tensions against the mother city of Kal’Urguan, Kal’Alrasians prepared for a right against the capital. The city had grown into a multi racial area, and a war between the Humans and Dwarves put everyone on alert. During the attack by the humans on Kal’Urguan, the Goldhands turned out in great numbers to defend their Dwarven home. But when the dust settled it was clear that Kal’Alras was going to secede. A division in the clan was formed as the Alrasian Goldhand’s who had grown in power in Alras decided to stay, and the rest of the clan who felt stronger ties to Kal’Urguan. This division has lessened over time, and while House Goldhand is once again a solid family, many members have not forgotten the disagreement. Forgiven but not forgotten. With the war over, and Alras declared a new nation, the Goldhands in Alras hung up their axes and turned to the merchant business. Their business flourished and they soon became one of the leading merchant families in the area. Stores opened in Kal’rog, Kal’Urguan, Alras, and Al’Khazar. Business in all of the stores flourished especially the store in Al’Khazar. The Goldhands became some of the richest Dwarves in all Aegis. The focus on merchant affairs led to political life falling by the way side. The new Alrasian Council was formed leaving out the majority of the old Alrasians, Goldhands included. The name Goldhand has dimished in Alras, where once it was a well known name. Most recently the family has fallen upon hard times. The vast warehouse in Al’Khazar has fallen to the noxious cloud and there is little hope of recovering it. Troubles between parts of the Dwarven nation and Alras has made the once great city merchant city unpleasant for Dwarves. Many of the Goldhands have had to choose between their city and their dwarven brethren. The choice has been easy for most: honor bound to the Dwarven nation, dismayed that Alras has forgotten its roots, and disgusted by some of the blatant discrimination in Alras, all the Goldhands have returned to the home of their forefathers. The halls of Kal’Urguan once again ring with the jingle of Goldhand coins. The family intends to grow its wealth and defend the Dwarven nation till its last breath. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
