Skarrenawi
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
The Skarrenawi or Hill Dwarfs were Dwarfs who in the Age of Legends left the mountains and settled in cities aboveground. [1b]
Having departed the mountain holds to find fortunes and freedom, the Skarrenawi flouished due to trade with the Elves and humans from far off lands. [1b]
Cities
They created several well fortified cities in the Dwarf style, designed to be resiliant against attackers and the elements alike. Buildings were made of petrified Wutroth and stone. [1b]
- Kazad Kro: Chief of the cities, [1b] located just north of the Grey Mountains. [1a]
- Kazad Mingol. [1b] East of the Grey Mountains, north of Karak Norn. [1a]
- Kazad Thar: South of Kazad Mingol. [1a]
History
As the War of Vengeance began, King Skarnag Grum of Kazad Kro finally slipped into complete madness and paranoia, being found naked in the gold vaults mumbling about his riches and how everyone wanted to steal it. [1c]
Quotes
They are Dawi....of a fashion. Their skin is lighter and softer. Fairer haired too, and with shorter beards, but they are decent forgesmiths and can drink almost as well as a proper hall-dweller. Though I cannot fathom why any son of Grungni would prefer sky over earth. It is unatural. |
