The Swordbreaker Clan . . . Origins
"Many years ago, a dwarvern man named Gorath was traveling through Aegis when he was confronted by an undead warrior. The undead warrior attempted to murder Gorath but Gorath fled and followed his dwarvern instincts into a nearby cave. Unluckily for him, the cave was a dead and and the undead cornered him inside. The undead warrior struck Gorath in the shoulder with his unholy poisoned blade, sending Gorath to the cave floor, writhing in pain. As the undead lifted his blade to strike down on him, Gorath drew his axe and smashed the blade in two. Without his source of power, the undead warrior fled, leaving Gorath poisoned on the cave floor. Gorath managed to gather his strength and hobble to a nearby villiage where the local healer cured him of the blades taint. When he returned home to Kal'Uraguan and told his friends the story, they nicknamed him 'Swordbreaker'. Swordbreaker and his friends spent many years traveling around Aegis, raiding dungeons, pillaging bandit camps and bases and taking out undead whenever they discovered one. One day Swordbreaker returned home to Kal'Uraguan to find his wife pregnant. He decided it would be best if he now remained in Kal'Uraguan and became a merchant, not wanting to miss seeing his sons childhood. He changed his last name to Swordbreaker as he was known as it by so many and therefore became Gorath Swordbreaker, founder of the Swordbreaker clan."

The last certified living descendant of Gorath Swordbreaker is his great grandson, Thorin Swordbreaker. All other descendants have either gone missing, died, or no-one knows exists. In an attempt to reunite the clan, Thorin Swordbreaker is looking for members of his family.
Join Us!
Joining the Swordbreaker clan is as easy as being a good role-player. There is no forum application or a skill level you must have, the only criteria are that you are a dwarf without a family, or no know family members. To join see me (Thorin Swordbreaker, username Alzaan) in game. I will usually be around Galahar but if you cant find me message me in-game and Ill try and arrange a meeting. If Im offline, message me on the forums or leave a comment here. We currently don't have a clan base/home but will hopefully buy one in 2.0.
RP Joining
To join, you can find out that you are a descendant of Gorath (The son of Uldiir, Maraim, Rotu or Gramaat), you can start a new character and roleplay one of the 'assumed dead' family members, and once we have more members in the clan you will be able to be adopted into our brotherhood.
Surface
The Swordbreaker dwarves usually dwell on the surface, mingling with humans, although at times we visit the great halls built by out ancestors deep underground. As we are not of Kal'Uraguan we cannot be classified as a 'noble' clan, although we are a lesser clan we are just as official as one such as the Braveaxes or Ironguts.
