Most Dwarfs are amazed Ungrim has lived so long, and none think that a mighty death in battle can be very far away.Click here to set your flair! Welcome to /r/TotalWar!Ī subreddit for all of those who love the Total War series. The Slayer King has beaten Ogre mercenary Golfgang Maneater and held off a Chaos army in the Battle of High Pass. It was Ungrim who slew the Dragon of Black Peak and who broke Queek Headtaker’s siege of King Belegar’s citadel in Karak Eight Peaks. Inspired by his High King and seeking to avenge his lone son who was slain, Ungrim will march to war with the least provocation. His son inherited his vows and continued the line of the Slayer Kings, of which Ungrim Ironfist is but the latest.Īlthough Ungrim cannot seek his death in Slayer fashion, he grows ever more restless, leading the throng of Karak Kadrin into countless battles.

Thus, he established a haven for Slayers that continues to this day. He founded the famed Slayer shrine of Karak Kadrin, the largest shrine to Grimnir. In the end, good Dwarf sense prevailed, and he found a way to honour all commitments. He was torn between conflicting vows: the Slayer oath to seek out death and the oath of a king to protect his people. In any case, Baragor became the first Slayer of Karak Kadrin. It is commonly assumed that the cause was the death of his daughter at the claws of the Dragon Skaladrak while on her way to marry the son of the High King of Karaz-a-Karak. What caused such a drastic decision was not recorded. Many years ago King Baragor, Ungrim’s five times great grandsire, suffered a terrible loss which drove him to take the oath of the Slayers.

The tale of Ungrim’s family, the Drakebeard Clan, is full of woe, as those in the clan of royal blood bear a history of calamities. For Ungrim is both a Slayer and a King, more than likely the last of the line of Slayer Kings of Karak Kadrin. Atop his head is a bright orange crest that rises above a sturdy horned helmet set with a golden crown. Armed with the enormous Axe of Dargo, Ungrim deals death – carving a path of red ruin before him while singing songs of old in a booming voice. There are few kinds of monsters that walk the world that Ungrim Ironfist has not slain in battle.
