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.

The Clan Tenets

 

I. The Blood brother/sister is to treat his peers within clan Stormhammer with kindness and shall not commit any ills towards one another unless followed by a duel of honor.

((A section taken from the Thread regarding the crumbling of the Orc lands. Written as a response that all of you should be present to hear!))

 

*After hearing word of the new Orcish revelation, the old paragon sharpens his dragon bone Ax against a grindstone bearing a wide toothy grin of youthful glee, humming a merry old tune he sings during his grand exploits. He looks towards the crowd of his brethren who stand around the  plotting and planning the possible threat to Dwarven kind, the Ironborn. With an end to his merry song he looks to his brothers and new found sons of royal blood still bearing his unnerving wide grin.* "Well Brudders... If da tales be true, me finks weh got sum land tuh take fer oor kin! Weh promised dere woold be nae 'onor fer da scum an' nooh dat da Uruk nation 'as crumbled! Oor peace treaty 'as ended an' it looks loike dat Uruk 'oide be back on da blood trials fer da beardlin's!" *Examining his scarred hands he proceeds to run his index finger over the newly sharpened bone to test it, he finds his aged finger bleeds against the razor sharp edge and with that he stows the newly blooded blade onto his back over his ragged Dire wolf pelt. brushing away the blood on his hand into his beard* "Nooh it be toime ta guh 'untin' fer fawkin' Carpets, eh? Lads? An' put da loikes ov da Ironborn problems be'oind oos fer a bettah glory den scoundrels! W'o plan tuh claim oor freedom."

Olaf walks through the open gate of Kal'Azgoth and breathes in the warm air, with a smile.

He slowly walks down the steps and heads towards the Stormhammer clan hall.

When he finally arrives, he leaves a note on the wall.

 

" OlhV i$ bAKc?"

[Dreek 1633]

*Dreek visits the clan hall and sees Olaf's note, picking it up, he reads it closely, taking a while to decipher Olaf's handwriting. As he finishes, he smiles and chuckles a bit, leaving a new note behind for Olaf.*
