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.
To imprison Kethuru and end the Vernal Wars, Klangratch sacrificed Himself, giving birth to Avechna the Avenger, and became the Seal of War.
