Dungrimm's Folk
(Watch the video before you read the post please.)
“The strength of Dungrimm will enable us, a small but faithful band, to overcome the multitude of the faithless”
Dungrimms Folk are the band of the Dwarven elite. Bound by blood, these Dwedmar are tasked in serving the Brathmordakin, upholding the morals set our ancestors and protecting the Dwarven people . This Clan of hardened veterans have sworn themselves loyal to the Mountain Monarchy and fight unconditionally for their King.
The Folk are selected for their skill in both Melee and ranged combat, training entails more than formation and subordination, the Order strives to rather cherish the individual traits and creativity that the Dwed can muster and use them as a weapon against foes. Simple Tactical methods that the Legion have used in recent years - (leading to the death of many Dwed) are both impractical and outdated. Studying the “Science” that warfare is, in it’s essence is training and rewarding to a warrior.
The Folk do not believe in the boundaries of Clans. Together, we are all brothers, regardless of Clan and sub race. This being said, it is equally accepted to stay fully affiliated to one's respective clan and fully appreciated to respect one’s heritage.
History
As a relatively new Order, Dungrimm’s folk’s path is yet to be taken, it’s story still to be written. This isn’t to say that the Order is not experienced, quite the contrary. The Folk consist of largely longbeards, Ironbreakers and Officers of the Legion, facing countless a enemy on the field during their time, and wholey proving their worth as esteemed an honorable folk of the Dwarven people.
Initially the Folk were to act as an alternative to the scrutinised legion, but grew inactive and redundant, they were revived in light of the Civil war to help the efforts of the Mountain King. The Folk aren’t about standing in line and following orders, tidying your cot or cleaning your tabard; it is about standing united for the greater good.
Initially the concept of Dungrimm’s Folk was pitched by the late Grand King Vorstag Ireheart, who passed proprietary rights of the Folk to his Son’s upon his untimely death, who then passed the title of “Rikkin” to his youngest brother, Vorstag II, a Dwarf who bears many similarities to his father.
Pvrpose
Primarily, the Folk execute the order of the Mountain Government, but also strive to entertain an era of prosperity and safety within the Dwedmar. Protecting Dwedmar and the rights of all Dwarves and purging the corruption that lurks in all corners of society. It’s ignorant to believe that War isn’t necessary in this world, it’s a grim burden that will recur until the end of time, but it is necessary.
The folk believe in the Dwedmar living up to their full potential, being a Folk of Dungrimm is a way of life, a mindstate, it’s achieving the greatest feats that are physically possible. Capability is inside every Dwarf, the trick is unlocking it and harnessing it.
Faith
All Folk are unconditional supporters of the Brathmordakin. They are all required to show sacrifice for their patron God along with monthly pilgrimage and weekly prayer. Doubt of faith results in immediate discharge until belief is fully restored, faith is the means of teaching all Dwarves the correct morals and ideals that all Atherians should swear by.
