Story: It all began with a commotion at the Library of King at Karaz-a-Karak. Vartoc had used all the influence a young runesmith could find and all the money his engineer friend, Asa, could borrow to spend a few days researching the fallen keep of Karak Varn. With time running out his thoughts were interrupted by oaths and curses usually reserved for a dwarf being shorn. The rest of the patrons privileged enough to be in this library buried themselves in their work but Vartoc succumbed to that undwarf-like quality called curiosity. Thus he had meet the strange dwarf Joldrag who called himself the King of Vlag, a stronghold destroyed so long ago that even dwarves had forgotten it. Asa had never questioned Vartoc when he returned with this odd fellow in tow and seemed even glad for the protection Joldrag's warriors provided as they scoured the ruined halls of Karak Varn in search of treasure. The knowledge Vartoc had gleamed served them well as with Asa's machines, Vartoc's runes, and Joldrag's muscle they accumulated a king's horde from the ruined stronghold. While skill and knowledge could recover the treasure a horde goblins had gathered to steal it. Thus on the shores of Blackwater Vartoc and Asa swore to help Joldrag in his quest to restore Karak-Vlag to its ancient splendor if they survived.

It seemed so long ago now, those carefree days of treasure hunting, as Vartoc looked out over the army they had accumulated. This would be just another cold morning for this odd assortment of mercenaries, adventures and believers in a dream which called themselves an army. Like so many mornings before or since they would be called upon to march, fight, and win as Asa and Vartoc supported Joldrag in the long trek north to find a Stronghold and establish a kingdom.
