Biography Parents: Father- Raglin Edgehand Mother- Unknown Siblings: N/A Children: N/A Extended Family: The Toovs, adopted. Pet(s): N/A History Thalgrin was born to the clan lord Raglin Edgehand, raised in the Edgehand Clan Hall beneath the mountains of Kaedrin. His father was quick to raise the boy as a hard, strong lad. When his father died, the young dwarf was left with not but Baldir and Tanith Toov to raise him. Baldir Toov, a strong and hard man, raised the dwarf as a fine warrior, training him with hammers and axes. When he had finally grown his beard, the dwarf set out into the world to learn of its secrets. For two years he explored Anthos, visiting places such as Kal'Azgoth, Kaedrin, Malinor, and many others. During his travels, he learned of the mysteries of the arcane, and began to seek out those that would teach him such powerful magic. His journey took him to the dwarven library, where he found the records of his clan's bloodline. Thalgrin, raised to believe most dwarves could not learn magic besides the Ironguts, was surprised to see the strange, mixed bloodline of his father. Irongut and Grandaxe blood alike ran through his veins, which merely boosted his confidence in becoming the magic wielding warrior he would hope to be. When he returned to his home with the Toovs, Baldir (who knew the ways of fire evocation) agreed to mentor the dwarf in his magics. He now continues his studies to this day. Artwork

Raglin sits in his sacred forge, his chest bleeding through his vest. The blade lay in its sheathe now, on the stone pedestal. He panted, looking over the strange weapon. "'Dis....'dis is insane." He stumbles away, moving to find bandages and salves for his wounds.

Nikolai arrives, grinning. "Ah, comrades. Come, we shall drink! And off to find our friends, da?" The massive man laughs heartily.

The Kozileks ~Who are they?~ ((Totally Not Russian)) The Kozileks are a group of people from the far north. Akin to the dwarves, these men and women prize their booze, their brawling, and everything between. Generally, they tend to jump into affairs not of their own, which often leads them into trouble. But they don’t often find themselves in situations they can’t get out of. The Kozileks tend to often start brawls and fights all over Anthos. But no matter the conflict they’re in, whether or not they started it, they’ll definitely mean to finish it. This group is often seen handling bandits and criminals in their “own” way. This usually includes throwing them in an arena with one of the Kozileks, and letting hell loose. Despite their often crazy habits, the Kozilek people tend to do what they can to ensure that the “good side” makes it through. Their view on who is “good”, is usually up to how they feel that day. Kozileks are well known for their exceptional brewing skills. Legend goes, they’ve even made a dwarven brewmaster pass out from their alcohol. Amongst brewing, their hand-to-hand combat is one of their highest regarded traits. They prize themselves on using only their fists, which are often gauntleted or braced with brass. ~Lore~ Many years ago, a large family of humans lived in Oren. They drank, they laughed, and they enjoyed life in general. But throughout the years, as war ravaged throughout the human kingdoms, they moved north, slowly growing as they did so. They formed a small village in the lands they settled in, revolving themselves around brewing. As time passed, bandits and the like began raiding the small village. Before long, their very way of life was severely at risk. The Kozileks would not stand for this much longer. Now a generally large community, they began to put their men to test in a small arena they formed just near the bar they so enjoyed. Soon, the Kozileks were near masters at fighting with their fists. But yet they found they were not yet prepared to handle the armed bandits that terrorized them. This strove the Kozileks to move onto another people, a folk that shared their interests. The dwarves. A small group of Kozileks moved into dwarf lands, seeking knowledge and wisdom from the famed dwarves of Kal’Urguan. These few Kozileks learned of the ways of brewing and brawling that the dwarves had perfected over their long lives. Not only this, but they took many notes upon the idea of digging below ground for their homes. After spending many months amongst the dwarven race, they returned to their homeland, where they promptly began to teach their brethren the ways they learned, modified to fit the Kozileks’ needs. Not long after their knowledge of fighting was acquired, the bandits’ raids lessened considerably, due to the fact that as soon as a criminal was spotted even near their village, he was swiftly beaten into a pulp by a very angry Kozilek. After solving their bandit issue, they began to focus on their buildings. The dwarves had lived so many years underground, successfully. Surely this was a wise idea for their village, they thought. And so began the long and laborious task of digging into the soul, eventually creating caverns, halls, and tunnels to house themselves in. If one visits these tunnels, which are known as the Sprawl, it is easily spotted that many hints of dwarven architecture are implemented. When the move from Asulon ensued, they were forced to leave their homeland behind them. Now, in Anthos, they’ve become small groups here and there throughout the land. But recently, a trio of their old leaders have sought to bring them back to their unified state. By doing this, they have essentially created a group of mercenaries. These mercenaries often hire themselves out as bodyguards and assassins. They often involve themselves in “dirty” business, like black market trading and the like. ~To Join~ -OOC- We do encourage making an alt for this, due to the fact that it would make more sense, and your character would already be implemented into the group ICly. But, if you have a character that is already created, and would work well with this, you will be tested IC through what is known as the “Kozilek Trials”. These will be elaborated upon in-game!

Raglin walks into the keep of Hyrr, lugging behind him a crate of gear. He sets it down before him, prying it open with his axe. Within, were many sets of a dull blue and chain mail uniform, light helms resting atop them. Most seemed to be fit for a dwarf, but a good few were larger sized, so that humans could wear them. Raglin nods his approval, before issuing out the uniforms to his current members. (( The choice will be given as to wether or not the helmet will be worn.)) http://www.minershoes.com/skin/view/i51a64a703200e4453029611398451624523045175 (( That's the link to the skin on minershoes. ))

Y'look right well, Borin. Welcome tuh th' Hyrr Battalion. Ye'll serve as a recruit 'till we figure out wot you're made of!

The Hyrr Battalion What is the Battalion? A unit based in Hyrr, the Edgehand Battalion is a force specified for the protection of the pass and fortress of Hyrr, and Kaedrin itself. It serves underneath the House Edgehand, which was previously a dwarven Clan of Kal’Urguan. It has now grown to become a key point in Kaedrin’s political status. The clan itself remains strictly dwarven. The Battalion partakes in all skirmishes and battles that the kingdom is involved in, including conflicts with the Teutonic Order. This battalion is used for initial attacks, including movements as shocktroopers. They often lead the attack, bashing their shields and roaring their battle cries. Despite their enthusiasm, they remain formed and unified as an organized group. Led by the renowned Raglin Edgehand, they garrison Hyrr as a stronghold, and a crucial point in defense of the kingdom. The Edgehand Battalion is primarily formed of dwarves, although humans are allowed. Dwarves are to usually lead the formations, with hammers or shields at the ready. Amongst the soldiers that lead the frontal assault, there are specialized archers following behind, releasing their arrows into the mass of the enemy. These archers are often dispersed in key points to ensure the advantage is on the Hyrr soldier’s side. The Service Soldiers will see not only extensive training, but comat engaged alongside the White Rose. Currently, the Hyrr Battalion's focus is to aid its allies amongst Kaedrin to attack the Teutonic Order’s forces. This isn’t the first time dwarves will fight the teutons.
