Difference between revisions of "Vernal Wars"

Klangratch was raised as a Vernal God from the dwarven stronghold of Grimkeep, which was destroyed late in the Vernal Wars by Great Muud. Never forgetting his dwarven heritage, Klangratch appeared as a dwarf male with platinum hair and full beard, albeit about 5 times larger than an average dwarf. He invested much of his power into a mighty battleaxe that was said to be able to slice through rock as though it were air.

Though many of the Vernal Gods were uneasy of Urlach's unconventional means of using the dead as fighters, Klangratch early saw the strategic advantage of this, and campaigned with Urlach for many battles. Together, they finally overthrew Great Muud, though the battle laid waste to Grimkeep and the surrounding mountains.

Though Klangratch held no qualms of using undead as shock troops, he never allowed Urlach to touch the dwarves in this manner. Perhaps mistrusting that Urlach would keep to this agreement, Klangratch enchanted a stone that would immediately release the souls of dwarves onto the wheel of rebirth, rendering the bodies not able to be raised as undead. To this day, the dwarves revere this stone as their most holy artifact.
