Caraz-Lumbar
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
Caraz-Lumbar was a Dwarf fortress in the Worlds Edge Mountains. [1a]
History
As the Dwarf Realm began to crumble and Karak-Bazik and Zhufbar were besiged, Grim Skullhammer took the majority of the garrison to their aid. [1b]
Whlst he was away the fortress was assaulted by a Orc and Goblin horde led by Bogrot Stuntybane and although Dumwin Stoutbelly led the defence but they were finally overwhelmed. [1a]
The ruins are now little more than a pile of battered stones although a memorial was erected on the spot Dumwin died fighting the Giant Grimsmirk Danglejaw and the siege is recalled in the Lay of Lipstrangle. [1a]
Quotes
Nay! Hold! Go Back! Thus spake the Dwarf. Through all the smoke and fire, Avaunt! Arroint! Go Home! Naff Off! Depart or face my ire! Then Danglejaw surveyed the breach and dragged his body through, espied the Dwarf and judged his reach. Then bit the fool in two.
~ Lay of Lipstrangle.[1a] |
