King Olaf Egillson (Dwarf Lord)
Famously grumpy and ill tempered, King Olaf has made his home in exile in the Estalian mountains. Some say that he, like his entire line before him are bitter at the loss of their ancestral holds in the World's Edge Mountains. Some might say that, but none to his face. Regardless, he is now wizened and old even by dwarf standards. In a fit of characteristic orneriness King Olaf declared a grudge upon walking some 50 years hence, when his hip gave out going down the massive flight of stairs from his throne. Ever since, he has been carried everywhere, by a succession of loyal shieldbearers.

Iron Brotherhood (Dwarf Warriors)
Presented with the Iron Gate Standard for their valor against the depraved and ferocious followers of Chaos during the ambush in the Montañas Hierros. Providing a bulwark against the heart of the enemy assault, their actions provided a crucial window of opportunity for King Olaf's forces to carry the day. Tragically, in their very next engagement, the Iron Gate Standard was lost in Los Pantanos Diabolicos...

Fatekeeper Hroddr "Zaki" Ottarrson (Runelord)
Hroddr Zaki's grip on reality hasn't been quite the same since he took responsibility for the anvil "Fate of Karak Und". King Olaf has assigned members of the elite Under Guard to defend the anvil in battle, but as often as not, they find themselves trying to accomplish the curious duties assigned to them by Hroddr, such as shaving his ale, or interrogating the more suspicious looking boulders nearby. He is, of course, given great lee-way courtesy of his beard of unsurpassed length and status as the oldest of the Estalian dwarves.

Junior Engineer Sven Svennson (Master Engineer)
Sven Svennson found himself unexpectedly promoted to the head of the Estalian Engineer's guild after his uncle's burrowing machine demonstration accidentally collapsed the West Deep on top of most of the assembled guild during its maiden voyage. Despite his newfound position of responsibility, tradition dictates that he still bear the title of Junior Engineer until approved by the guild heads in Barak Varr. Sven has submitted his claim and eagerly awaits the decision of the council at their next meeting, scheduled in 64 years time. Meanwhile, Sven has assembled a force for homeland defense cobbled together from the finest of his uncle's war engines, and all the dwarfs drunk enough to be willing to stand nearby said artillery train.
