The Irongut Clan

[Tortek 51]

-=The Irongut Clan=-

Ironguts. The longest living clan of the dwarves. They come from all types of backgrounds, miners, smiths, mages even. Ironguts are a proud clan and highest nobels of the race. Many kings, warriors, and even ascended have came from this clan. Lead by their Clan Lord Hiebe, they are stronger then ever and are always helping fellow members of their race and are open for adoptions.

History of the Irongut Clan

This is the Tale of the Irongut Clan. Who are the Ironguts you ask? Well boyio I'll tell you a fine tale.... It started a long time ago back when the Dwarven King Urguan was still alive. Urguan had many sons and daughters and one of those sons was called Dwain. Now Dwain was a fine dwarf. Strong, brave, good with a iron axe... but mostly cause he was a fine drinker an eater! Now Dwain won many drinking and eating contest and his father, Urguan, noticed this. About the time when the Dwarves were so populated they started to use last names Urguan called all of his sons in to give them their last names.

Tale of Urguan and the Naming

Dwain Irongut

Now Dwain loved his name as it was perfect for him! Now years went by and one day Dwain Irongut went missing from the dwarven halls. So for a great many long years, Urguan missed his son but had to focus on building the dwarven kingdoms up from stone.

But one day Dwain came back and with a family. Other dwarves you ask? why yes some dwarven families want to live out in the wilds and this is where most people though Dwain had went but we will talk more about that later.

Dwain and his family came back to the great halls of Kal'Urguan. A great feast was held and Urguan asked his son "Where have you been me boy?". Dwain repiled "I cannot say father..... but I must ask you if I may leave again to build an Outpost in your name." Urguan said "Aye but enjoy yer time here and you may leave once all the suppiles are ready".

Once the suppiles were all ready for Dwain Irongut and his family they left Kal'Urguan to build an outpost out towards the human lands of Oren. Dwain took with him his sons, the eldest Drako, and the youngest Heron. Together they spent a long few weeks to find a suitable spot for this Outpost. Once they found it they began work on it. A great Manor House went up for the Ironguts to live in, and walls for protection. A smithy was built also to help keep the fine art of smithin in the family. Dwain had many more sons and daughters born to him at this land. But his hardest working son was Draco.

Draco Irongut

Draco Irongut worked day and night for years on this Outpost for his father. The brains of the family went to Heron though. Heron though weaker then his older brother, was the smartest Irongut around and helped his brother build using math and logistics.

At last the Dwarven Outpost was complete! Dwain and his son Draco went back to Kal'Urguan to give good news to the king but Urguan had died. Dwain lost his mind by then. He spent his days looking at flowers weirdly and never talked much after his father died. Draco, the eldest, took leadership of the Outpost, and Heron went to studying the ancient books to find a way to help their father out of his daze. Heron found something... a book he bought off a stranger merchant showed a way to bring people back from the dead.... Heron decided not to tell Draco, as Draco was a righteous man.

Years went on and eventually Dwain Irongut died. Draco and Heron built a great tomb underneath the Irongut Manor to serve as a resting place for all Ironguts when they pasted on. Unknown to Draco, Heron built a secret room in the tomb to do his test with this book he found.

Draco Irongut was a hardworking dwarf whether it was in the mines or above ground he worked hard. He bore many sons as did Heron. Heron's sons were always weaker or smaller then Draco's sons so they were picked on more and didn't work as hard. While Draco worked and lead the Ironguts, Heron worked in his secret room. Heron would ****** up weak or lone travelers to do his experiments on. The book he found told him of ways to kill and bring people back from death. Heron was surprised to find out he could do these things as it required magic.... a trait he found must of pasted down from his father, Dwain.

Heron was becoming more and more darker each passing day and Draco noticed this. He asked his brother what is happening to him and Heron would reply "Greatness is what I shall have" and then mumblings. Draco was very frighten by his brothers actions. Staying up late, being alone, the dark look in his eyes. Eventually one day....

The Betrayal of Heron

Draco went into the tombs to pray and honor his father. He noticed something was wrong as he heard weird sounds coming from the wall.... Draco took up his pick and busted the wall down... In the room he saw his brother Heron casting a spell.... bodies littered the floor.. blood everywhere.... Organs of what used to be alive beings in jars..... Heron looked up and saw his older brother and said "So you finally found me eh brother?" Draco replied" What.... whats is all this Heron?! What have you done!"

"I have brought greatness to our clan..... I did not you!....now watch as I bring back father to show him how much better i am then you...." said Heron is a dark voice...

"Don't!" cried Draco.

Heron casted the great spell and Dwain's tomb busted open! There stood the Old Irongut Leader.... Dwain with his axe in his hands and his body already have deteriorated.

Draco stood there unable to move... his dead ....or undead father stood before him and said in a dark.. dark voice.

"GOOD SON.... I KNEW YOU WERE THE BEST OF THE TWO.... NOW KILL YOUR BROTHER SO HE CAN'T TELL OF THIS."

Draco replied "Your not my father! He would never of had let us fight!"

Heron yelled "RISE MY PETS RISE AND KILL MY BROTHER!"

Five of the corpses re-animated and stood .... flesh barely clinging to their bones. They charged Draco. Draco brings out his axe and cuts down three of the five undead zombies.... one bit is left arm and another grabbed his axe arm.....

Then a bright light shown blinding all three "living" people there. Draco's arms were freed and a voice spoke to him "For you have followed the right path... so you shall be helped in your dire needs" Then three people in white robes stood before him and another in brown robes. The white robed men took out staffs and said in unison "Back foul deamon for you do not belong in this world!"

The spirit yelled "NOOOOOOO BLAST YOU SAGES I SHALL HAVE MY REVENGE!"

Dwain's corpse fell back in his tomb and Heron so shocked by this fell to his knees.....

The brown robed man help Draco to his feet curing his wounds.

Then Draco went to his younger brother and said "Why did you do this?... I love you and wanted all of us to be happy."

"You were loved most by father and I wanted his love more!" then Heron lunged at Draco with a knife and the three white robed men blasted him into fire.

One of the white men turned to Draco and said "Fellow follower of the light... You must destroy this place and go back to your fellow kind for your sons will be needed in the centuries to come. Your brothers sons shall be too but shall forever be tainted by their fathers choice and must choose for themselves the right path. So it has been said, So it shall be done!" and with that the three whited robed men disappeared.

The brown robed man told Draco "I am here to help, I shall Sink this Manor so no one shall find it again for many, many years."

The robed man teleported all the surviving Ironguts out of the Manor with supplies and the robed man casted a spell to sink the Outpost so that it was hidden from view.

The Ironguts went back to Kal'Urguan and served their kingdoms for many centuries. Draco eventually became Lord Marshall, as his son Herson, and his son Hiebe. These dwarfs helped create the Dwarven armies reputation as fierce and feared Warriors!

As of late, Hiebe Irongut has reconstructed the old Irongut Manor with help of his friends and has started to trace the bloodlines of his Clans members and so far has found two "Cuzins" of his, Algor and Alfy Irongut.

The Manor is located on the Kings Road on the cross road between the kingdoms of Oren and Alras. There is also a tavern there for travelers and rooms to board in.

No one but the few members of the Ironguts have seen the tombs of their for fathers and Hiebe has moved all of his ancestors from Kal'Urguans tombs to their rightful place inside the Irongut tomb.

There are stories that there is a Sacred place within the tombs that only "ascended" people may be..... whatever that means..... and that the taint of Heron still haunts some of the Irongut's members....

Clan Government and Culture

---

Clan Tradition

A tradition where those with the skills to use the Forge will often forge personal weapons. These weapons are a symbol of the Clansman's style of fighting and often have a symbol of the creator upon them somewhere identifying them as that specific persons. Many famous weapons are part of the clan like Mourgil, the blade of Dwain Irongut now in the hands of Hiebe Irongut.

Beard Braiding

Just having a simple beard does not do for the Ironguts. The Clansmen can often be seen with braids in their beards. These can be as simple as forking the beard in two or as complex weaving it into an intricate braid.

Clan Crest

The Ironguts often add a crest composed of a mug of ale and a sword to show that it was sent from an Irongut. We take pride in being an Irongut and we often like to show we are Ironguts to other Dwavres.

Clan Banners

The Ironguts have always used their banners to mark their homes and clan halls in the past. The banner is composed of our clan crest and our clan colors, Silver and blue.

Wut be yer primary skills:I be a great miner an' a great lum'erjack. I also be 'aving great skill wit da bow

Short biography about yourself (5+ sentences): Kardelan Thundershot is a far descendant of Dwain Irongut.

After Dwain left the halls of Urugan , he is said to have mated with a dwarven woman called Garrisa of Thundershot,

wich is the ancestor of Kardel Thundershot. After moving out of the wilderness into civilization, Kardel was astonished

to hear of his origins. Since his clan was murdered by the undead, he decided to dedicate his life to fighting for the

Irongut clan. Since then, he has been seeking acceptance into the Irongut clan, and will be proud to die in their name.

How de ya be related to te Irongut Clan: Kardel's Great, great, great, great, grandmother mated with Dwain

Irongut while he was visiting their town. he begged her, but she could not come with him because she had a clan to take care of, and

Dwain had given her a son. When the son was born, he was given the name Darius Thundershot, because no one knew that

Dwain had mated with her. This was the Great, great, great gandfather of Kardel, which was an Irongut, so technically

Kardel IS an Irongut.
