Klangratch, the Axe of War, was raised as a in the dwarven stronghold of Grimkeep. He always appeared as a dwarf, albeit one that was about five times larger than average. His power was believed to be invested heavily into a battleaxe that He always carried into battle. He was a close ally to Urlach, and together They overthrew Great Muud. Klangratch was opposed to any member of the dwarven race becoming one of the undead, and so He enchanted a stone that would immediately release the souls of any dwarf that fell in battle, ensuring that they could not be made into one of Urlach's ur'guard.
