Message: <blockquote data-quote="NetWolf" data-source="post: 625861" data-attributes="member: 7062">History of the Arms in questionFair enough Apok...As I understand it (remember, I'm but a player in the campaign!) Durgheddin the Black, MasterSmith of Clan BattleForge (and all-around skilled dwarf) crafted the Arms of Haran(tm) for the legendary human hero Haran.Haran went on to right many wrongs and do much good, before founding the county of Haranshire. The Arms then became the property of the Count of Haranshire, and moved from individual to individual in whatever method the Office was transferred.Many years passed and the Arms of Haran were lost. Good and bad counts came and went, and now the County is ruled by a big, baddie named Carmen. The land and people suffer... taxes are high, morale low... and our paladin is gunning for him, just as soon as we get out of the Underdark!Meanwhile, back several hundred years at Clan BattleForge...The dwarven stronghold was overrun by orcs, ogres, trolls, and other assorted nastiness. Durgheddin himself, extinguished the massive fires of his forge and destroyed his tools so that the enemy might gain nothing. The dwarves made a valiant stand, but in the end, they were overwhelmed by sheer numbers. Many dwarves were away from the stronghold when the attack occurred. Upon their return to the warrens and upon finding them under new ownership, these dwarves fled back to the halls of the Underdark to begin new lives. They passed on legends and tales of their home, their ancestors, their traditions. A generation passed in this way... then another... and another... until one day a hall-dwarf was released from a troll's cage by a paladin.     - NetWolf (player of) Kordache of Clan BattleForge</blockquote>
