Accepted, Welcome to the Blackaxe Clan!

"Kal'Tarak! T'is kingdoms foundations were built on unity, onleh fitten name fer it."

><><><The Blackaxe Clan><><>< The Dwarves of the Blackaxe Clan are a band of brothers, once sworn to the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, now united by their desire to be sovereign of its grasp. Formerly a title thought to bring dishonour when branded upon the clan’s founding father, Decks, the name ‘Blackaxe’ is now worn with pride by all who choose to bear it. Today, the clan resides in the Kingdom of Kaz’Ulrah, independent of their Grandaxe kin, as they seek to strike out on their own as honour bound mercenaries and fortune seekers in the wars to come. ><><><History><><>< The Blackaxe clan was founded by Decks Blackaxe, one of the grandsons of Urguan in the ancient lands of Aegis, following a schism with his Grandaxe kin. Hailing from the far north of the continent, the Grandaxes had for many years guarded the north from undead and uruks, bound in alliance with their fellow mountain dwarves of Clan Frostbeard, whose ancestors, Bogrin Grandaxe and Kaz’Ulrah Frostbeard, had years prior settled their holds together among these mountain peaks. Formerly a part of the Grandaxes, a bitter dispute drove the clan apart, dividing into two clans, the Braveaxes and Blackaxes. Decks Blackaxe was banished from the Kingdom of Urguan for refusing to support the King in his war against the Kingdom of Oren. Exiled and without a home, he and a number of his brothers ventured north towards the ancestral homelands of the mountain dwarves and set keep in Kal’Domhain. The Blackaxe clan would continue to survive by themselves as hired mercenaries and miners of their lands, until the sons of the late Decks, Valen Blackaxe and Bazian Blackaxe took leadership of the clan. With newly found blood, the Blackaxe clan found its way back to the Kingdom of Urguan and set foot in its caves once again. Valen Blackaxe and Karl Frostbeard had forged a strong bond between their two clans when the two rallied their forces to fight the Ironborn of the Khorvadic Empire, and then again to fight the Kingdom of Alras. When the undead attacked Aegis, champions from different nations were chosen; Valen Blackaxe ventured into the nether, one of the three chosen dwarves who helped bring an end to the undead and daemonic scourge. With the destruction of Aegis, and the settling of Asulon, the Blackaxe and Braveaxe clan reconciled their differences and united beneath the banners of the Grandaxe clan once again. Years have passed and worlds have been travelled, as the Grand Kingdom of Urguan evolved to face the challenge of new and emerging threats. However, with this change, a corrupt and irregular culture transpired within the valued normal traditions of the once great kingdom. The dwarves, disunited and in disarray had turned blade on their allies of ancient times. The crowning of Grand King Frerir Irongrinder, and his subsequent actions infuriated the Blackaxes even further towards insurrection. When given ultimatum by two of his elders, Wulfgar and Torvin, Fimlin Grandaxe, Clan Father, of the Grandaxe clan refused to object to his King’s ways, and thus the clan was divided into two halves once again. From here, four Grandaxes, Wulfgar, Torvin, Tagum and Darain, disillusioned with the state of the realm opted to follow in the ways of old, taking residence with their mountain dwarf kin. Leading the Blackaxes to New Jornheim, the Blackaxes now stood alongside their ancient allies in the Kingdom of Kaz’Ulrah, and battled together with the Frostbeards and Goldhands, to overthrow the Irongrinder led government, forcing them to relinquish their claim on the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. For their deeds, the Blackaxes were named a noble clan of the Kingdom of Kaz’Ulrah, their colours emblazoned on the nation’s banners. Meanwhile, a blood bond was forged through the marriage of Signa Blackaxe to High King Verthaik II Frostbeard, cementing an alliance between the two clans. Residing within the city, they today search for their lost kin to join the Blackaxes once again and restore its name to glory. ><><><Appearance><><>< Blackaxes are considered above average size compared to normal dwedmar, with fiery red hair and beards adorned with gold to protect them from the cold conditions of their homeland. The purest Blackaxes are of a lighter skin tone compared to normal dwedmar, and typically have brown eyes. However, it is not uncommon for a Blackaxe to have different shades of black or brown hair, and green or grey colored eyes, dependent on the mother’s lineage. Blackaxes typically wear outfits designed for utility, often comfortable furs with chainmail or armor to withstand the climates of the cold mountain region. ><><><Culture><><>< Rugged mountain dwellers, dwarves of the clan are heavily built and excel most in snowy climates or areas of high altitude. Hardy by nature and deathly loyal to those they call friends, they are among the oldest and most stalwart defenders of the dwarven realms. Strength and fortitude are valued traits of every Blackaxe dwarf, and thus, the father of the clan is he who can best his kin in open combat. They are strictly tribal, preferring to congregate within the company of their blood kin, while their bonds with outsiders are based purely on matters of commerce. In the old days of Aegis, dwarves of the Blackaxe Clan were infamous for their raids on settlements deemed to have broken their strict code of honour. What acts some might regard as brutality, Blackaxes see as fair justice. They believe that those who dishonour their kinsmen, forsake their right to remain unchallenged. When seeking individualistic glory, dwarves of the Blackaxe Clan embark on what is known as the ‘Great Hunt’ at the end of each stone month. Here, young dwarves revel in the challenge of impressing upon their elders by bringing back the trophies of dangerous beasts slain in battle. ><><><Traditions><><>< The clan are fervent worshippers of the true pantheonic Brathmordakin, namely Yemekar, the creator and Allfather, as well as Dungrimm, Ogradhad, Anbella, Armakak, Belka and Grimdugan. Other deities are either viewed as illegitimate or lesser beings. As the god of war, and guardian of the dead, Dungrimm is often considered the clan’s patron, though it is not unknown for members of the clan to pledge their loyalties to other gods as well. Blackaxes are also devout in the ways of ancestral worship, paying great reverence to their ancestral Paragons, Valen ‘the Wordsmith,’ Thorik ‘King of Kings,’ and Thorin ‘Yemekar’s Fist,’ who together form a triumvirate among the Brathmordakin’s Iron Council, ruling from their seat among the high halls of Khaz’A’Dentrumm. Worship largely consists of paying tributes and sacrificial offerings, on the midnight hour of every full moon. In this event, in what is known as the Vigil of the Moon, Blackaxes gather atop the peaks of their home to pay their respects to the gods and to their dead, as they believe that this is the hour where their prayers can be heard most purely. Accordingly, Blackaxes are also great revellers of the night, known for drinking around fires and singing songs of merriment, whilst skalds tell epic tales of their dwarven ancestors of yore, whose individual deeds have ascended their names into myth. ><><><Rites of Passage><><>< To truly don the name of the Blackaxe, a dwarf must have a debt of honor repaid that was taken from him. This can be done in blood or diplomatically; the clan father will decide if and when the debt is fully paid. A true Blackaxe is pure of virtue, and holds honour in the highest regard. In order to ascend as a full member of the clan, the beardling is therefore required to slay and bring back the remains of a dark or unholy being. Before a Blackaxe may ascend into adulthood, the dwarf must first prove they understand what it means to pay honour to the god of war. In order to so, they must wet their axe in the blood of battle, and return with the head of one of their fallen foes. ><><><Tenants><><>< To break a signed contract is to break an oath born by Anbella’s binding light, and thus is punishable by death. To slay another member of the clan outside of a duel is deemed an affront to the gods’ creation and thus is punishable by death. To forsake the clan’s name in favour of another is to pay insult to the ancestors and thus is punishable by death. To steal from another member of the clan is to deprive another of what is rightfully theirs and thus is punishable by death. ><><><Diplomatic Relations><><>< Clan Frostbeard - Allies Clan Goldhand - Friendly Clan Silvervein - Friendly Clan Stormbreaker - Friendly Clan Longmane - Friendly Clan Irongut - Neutral Clan Doomforged - Neutral Clan Emberhorn - Neutral Clan Ireheart - Unfriendly Clan Irongrinder - Unfriendly Clan Grandaxe - Unfriendly Clan Father: Darain Blackaxe (MrBamPow) Clan Elders: Wulfgar Blackaxe (Zezimus) Tagum Blackaxe (TEEbrown) Torvin Blackaxe (Saflender_) Clan Brothers: Bolthric Blackaxe (LegoMan33) Dunumir Blackaxe (TheSilentFriend) Taervyn Blackaxe (Kukkiii) Kilgar Blackaxe (Hvitsark) Torsdul Blackaxe (luchian) Signa Blackaxe (devvy) Astmar Blackaxe (Nerfman_) Vosirk Blackaxe (ThumperJack_) Varrick 'Nastrada' Blackaxe (SuicidalAngel) Clan Beardlings: Balinor Blackaxe (necocraft) Roan Blackaxe (zoomerenhd) Mim Blackaxe (IITzGreeningx) Bariwin Blackaxe (Iqthar) Oghren Blackaxe (blago) Vorsaer Blackaxe (Roronoa_Zoro) ><><><Application><><>< OOC: MC Name: Timezone: Discord: RP: Name: Age: Appearance: Short Biography:
