Lore

Founding Lord's Tale
The Paragon Kjell Ireheart is a Dwarf of Remarkable
feats of which have been committed during the great wars of the races nearing
the end of the second age, The Ireheart clan the same Kjell Ireheart was the
father of faded from history and over all existance mainly due to conflict with
the undead threats of the north along with conflicts against the Orcish hoards
as during these times turmoil drove the Dwarves to rapidly thinning numbers
which the Starbreakers and Irehearts suffered the worst of. Kjell being the
last of his kind began a quest to unite the clanless Dwarves after witnessing
the dark ages of the Dwarves, hopefully with one day with the aid of the
Brathmordakin the clanned ones as well under one banner.

The Founding

Third Age
The Origin of the clan was first conceived under a
peculiar name the Grim Brotherhood during the third age when the
clans suffered the most from these thinning numbers, during this torrential
time the Clans fought and conflicted with one another over power, land and
rights to riches of the Kingdom. This spurred the Grim Brotherhood to be made
during the reign of the Boneless King Hiebe Irongut whom at the time widely
believed by Dwarves, was conspiring with the other races to seize a tyrannical
control over "his" people and due to these claims a hidden revolution
was born starting with three Dwarves each blessed by the Brathmordakin through
discovering hidden and ancient armor with outstanding capabilities, these three
Dwarves Gorum and Goruk Frostbeard along with Paragon Kjell Ireheart combined
their efforts to fuel a hidden rebellion, this was until a conflict between the
Paragon and a elven commander whom worked under the favor of the Boneless King.
During this time Kjell exposed the elf of his crimes against himself and his
kin the Dwarves thus creating a grudge against the elf but after refusal from
the King Hiebe to allow the elf to be punished under the constitution the
Paragon Kjell began to aim his efforts to further fuel his rebellion towards
the royalty slandering the King's folk the Ironguts for the heinous acts they
have committed. This feuding between King and Paragon was brought to the halls
of the city and the council's court with outbursts of rage coming from both
sides all of which where accompanied by threats, after discovering the attempt
of Dun Irongut's denouncing of the Paragon's holy title with the aid of Hiebe
Irongut the rebellion finally began as the Tyrant attempted to arrest the
Paragon for treason in which a agreement was made on both behalves that the
King and Paragon would answer for their crimes towards one another. This did
not come to pass as the nearing end of the third age was closed by a darkness
only the Paragon and the elders of the Dwarves themselves where familiar with,
the evil forces of Khorvad pushed the people of Asulon from their homes and
halls including the Dwarves and due to this the Paragon along with the King
made amends to fight for their Kingdom's survival to reach the new lands


Fourth Age
During this time the clan Stormhammer was truly created
after the Boneless King Hiebe was removed of throne by the True Grand King
Thorik who was recovered from the volcano after having believed to have been
assassinated by the Grimhall clan's Dwarves a selection of Architects who for
reasons unknown went Stark Raving Mad. With the crowning of the Grand King
Thorik, plans within the Paragon's head to unite the Dwarves began to run as he
began his negotiations with the Goldhands to bind his clan the Irehearts with
their folk, this first coined the clan's true name Stormhammer and provided for
it's first members. But after discovering the leader of the Goldhands Thoak
Sludgefist intoxicated himself far beyond his capability to understand words
the drunken Clan Lord mistook the Paragon's sayings believe the Goldhands would
merely aid in the creation of the clan thus causing a predicament for the clan
lord of the Stormhammers.

Trials

Welcoming Trial
The trial consists of a test of will to serve, this is often where a beardling goes out of the hold and begins the hunt for a Elf with an elder to aid him in the hunt. Once the beardling or elder has slain the Elf the beardling must then take both of its ears and present them to the clan father who will then know that the has proven himself and is ready to be a full member of the clan.



Ireheart
The Ireheart is a series of challenges often reserved for the elite of the clan who have been blooded, these individuals must show they are worthy of the Ireheart name by completing the trials of the old clan of Paragons.



The tests are as followed:

-Slaying and skinning the raw hides of three different colors of Orc.

-Cutting off the ear of different skinned elves and tying it to a rope to form<br />
a necklace.

-Claiming the bark of a dryad's life tree.


Once the tests have been complete and the items gathered they must be presented to the clan father who will then pass judgement over them, to be found cheating or lying will result in the breaking of the first tenet so this is a time of great importance and if the items are to be found true then the blood brother is dubbed Ireheart.

Ceremonies

Ire Blooding:

Ire Blooding is a ceremony that creates a link between Irehearts and Stormhammers which occurs a period of time after the completion of the Ireheart Trial. Once he/she has completed the trial the elected clan father will announce that the ceremony is to be committed which then after preparation the following will occur.

The beginning of the ceremony starts with the clan father addressing the Stormhammer with the following phrase:

 

"You are here today to partake in the pact of blood where you shall join your essence and mortal spirit with the like of those before us through me and by doing so you will promise by blood oath that you shall follow the ways of Irehearts or seek banishment from the Dwarves, do you choose to take this honor?"

The Stormhammer will then say to the clan father his/her decision of either yes or no. Upon saying no he/she does not take the honor of becoming an Ireheart and is asked to leave. Upon saying yes the clan father will cut the palm of his right hand with a dagger whose blade is made of pure dragon bone before the young brother/sister commits the same act with the same hand. This is then followed by the clan father and Stormhammer joining their bloodied hands as the Stormhammer binds his/her blood with the clan father which in turn symbolizes the adoption of the new Ireheart as he/she has bound his/her mortal spirit with the blood of those before the clan father as well.

Upon completion of this act the Clan father will recite the last verse of the Dwarven Anthem:
 

"and may yer honor and yer heart

shine bright like the forge
ye'll be remembered as always
Brother (or Sister) O' the Dwarves"

 

Upon completion the Stormhammer will have become a true initiated Ireheart to clan Stormhammer as he has taken the blood oath thus completing the blood pact with the clan and showing his will to commit to his family and the kingdom.
