Ekrund, now known as Mount Bloodhorn [2a] was a dwarf mine on the south-eastern shore of the Black Gulf in the Dragonback Mountains. [1]

History

Famed for its huge deposits of ore and precious gems the dwarves at Ekrund became incredably wealthy and powerful enough to take a seat on the High Kings council. They sent armies to join their kin in the War of Vengeance in what would eventually become Tilea. [1a]

Despite its wealth it was not prepared for a massive onslaught by a orc and goblin horde led by Argor Foespike [4a] which surged out of the Badlands and the surivivng population was forced to flee whilst the invaders were celebrating in the equally famed brewery. Most crossed the gulf and would set up new holds in the Vaults including Karak Izor. [1a]

The Great Book of Grudges in Karaz-a-Karak records the fall of the hold in -1490 IC. [3a]

The Orcs and Goblins made it into a fortress and now its huge chambers breed large numbers of Cave Squigs which they export to other tribes.[2a]
