Darach
Kurnoth Hunter of the Ironbark War Glade
Darach is a 20 year old, 12’4″ Kurnoth Hunter. Their bark is coloured white with glints of silver and foliage of aspen yellow. They carry both a massive hunter bow, as well as a Greatscythe into battle.
Darach is a young Kurnoth that emerged from his soulpod in the midst of an ongoing battle. His first memories are fighting alongside the dwarves of Chamon, driving back an incursion of chaos. The counter-offensive took them to the Allpoints, but the battle turned on them. Most of the other Aylvaneth perished, however, due to the sacrifice of the dwarves, a Branchwych was able to recover many of the Lamentiri. Darach was the only Kurnoth whose body survived, but he swore to honour the dwarves’ sacrifice for his kin. He joined the binding with one of these dwarves, a young(ish) Irondrake named Bryn. Bryn did not survive the process. Darach mourns his loss but has lost none of his determination to protect the dwarves in all the realms. He remains uncertain of other races, finding many of them strange and unpredictable.
The Mournful Choir
Natives of Shyish, the Mournful Choir is a warband of mortal Rotbringers of Nurgle who have embraced him as the rightful god of death and ruler of the Amethyst Realm. Their worship of Nurgle in the aspect of death is based on the need for firstly an ending of the mortal coil, in order to allow the cycle of life to continue unending. They display a very morose character in common with most inhabitants of Shyish and in direct contrast to the typical view of Nurglites as jovial and happy – often appearing emaciated, haggard and skeletal. They eschew the more usual greens and other colours of rot, usually painting their armour in whites and blacks with images of death, skulls and the like on their banners.
The coat of arms of the Order of the Tolling Bells: Argent with a bell Sable
(variations of this have been seen, though these may be different “choirs” within the overall order.)
The Order’s holdfast is known as Weeping Tor, a keep surrounded by the Griefmere, a deep and mostly impenetrable marsh.
Thorn’s Troggmob
For a long time, the Troggboss called Thorn da Ogorshield (called such because he once used an ogor as a shield during a fight) resided in the caverns of the Lustrare Valley. Alas, that state could not last forever. Nobody really knows the reason, but at some point...
The Lavafall Restricted Area
The Lavafall District in Hammerhal Aqsha had been thoroughly devastated, after the gargantuan Charonhydra escaped the alleged Grand Stormvault beneath the city. Wild spells and ancient monsters, trapped since the Age of Myth, were released into the city, and the Council of Hammerhal sealed off the district, leading to riots inside for months.
The threat within and below grew so big that the Hammers of Sigmar themselves descended on the vault at last, and seemingly neutralized most of the threat… or did they?
Things have calmed down since, but large parts of the district are still quarantined, to prevent entry to the bowels of the vault and for fear of Chaos corruption… and rightly so.
