tagdar: ..... ya alright dorbin?
dorbin: nof really we lost gagna, ta poor lad i miss him already
tagdar: aye wish he wos ere it will be more rough for both of us now
dorbin: no doubt

tagdar: well lets drink an ale in his name  *raised the ale cup*
dorbin: *also raised his ale cup*
both: TO GAGNA *they drunk the ale and got drunk and passed out*

next morning they woke up packed up and went into the forest, they didnt talked much they where still down on the lost friend.

the forest looked large and old big trees big leaves green leaves twigs and bracnhes on the ground whit roots sticking out of the ground, the dwarfs now and then talked but not much they didnt felt good in those woods, they walked and walked seemed no change in the woods all big green trees and they fell once or twice on the ground thanks to the roots and night whas comming near, they camped and next day they had out around noone they got out.

dorbin: finnaly out of tat bloody wood
tagdar: aye darn woods i dun like it one bit

they came saw a mountain the silver mountains they where called that way cause it whas loaded whit silver even on the outside you could get blindinded if the sun shine strongly and low onto the mountain the silver reflects it and you where blind if you didnt wached out and ofcourse there whas a dwarfen city in it.

tagdar: i fink we reached blue mountains lad
dorbin: no doubt look at tat lad it be great i wish for home now aye ta good ol silver mountain
tagdar: no way imma go wolk tat bloody end back lets look an see wot our kin be like ere

they came to the big door where gaurds where whit big axes large mail all in silver whit nice red gems into them they looked grim and not so fond of strangers, they stood proud shinign in the sun refelcting it on there armors and axes.

gaurd1: yar busnis ere?
tagdar: travelers from silver mountain lad
gaurd2: tats pretty far from ere why ya left
tagdar: well we left wif 3 of us one died in a human battle a week ago, an we left tat be our busnis nof yars (on a harsh tone he sayed it all)
gaurd2: im sorry for yar lad ya seem desend lads (looks to the other gaurd) aye come in
dorbin: fanks lad nice armor lads
gaurd1: fanks ya see alot more inside oh an try ta ale ere it be good
dorbin: we sure will lad we sure will

the doors opend big brown doors whit silver all over nothing whas made whit iron everything whas silver.

they walked into a great hall very large whit merchants miners gaurds everywhere the smell of food and ale atacked you but for a dwarf it whas home,
they looked around saw great archers decorated whit silver tinkering shields armors axes hammers swords all kinds of weapons on the walls as decoration, for a none dwarf this whas breathtaking but for a dwarf it whas home.

tagdar: we need a palce ta stay lets try tat inn over there
dorbin: good finkin

they entered the inn and found out more about the silver hills it seemed they had a war whit the dark cousins the duergar.
after weeks and weeks there money run low and they needed an income so they figured out why not help out in the war, it seemed that the war took ages and ages they learned many tacktiks they grew stronger and where seen as great wariors after countless battles one day it whas time for a new one.

dutchy:
it whas 100 years after they first entered the blue hills  tagdar whas 222 and 240 rougly might be a year more or less.

the war is always underground at the underground doors of the blue mountains those doors dont have just but two gaurds nooo they got alot more and on a day it whas time again to go to battle the bells rang voices yelling that the dark cousin came again.
our two dwarfs where just on the market when they heared it they rushed to there home (wich they bought after beeing there so long) they grabbed there gear and rushed to the baracks below.

general: it be time again they are ere freakin again they cant seem ta stop tis time they be in a large number nof seen many times we best stan our ground or ta silver hills be lost.

the battle started tagdar rushed into the lines of the duergar and gave good battle as fighting dwarfs among dwarfs is often harder to fight a human cause of the armor and strength the grey bastards had,
tagdar hit his axe on the enemy armor but the enmy got shocked cause tagdar had his weapon upgraded to do some electrical damage wich also pralized the victem,
he finished his kill went on dodging and fighting.

dorbin wasn feeling alright for a week now he whas kinda sick none knew what he had but he fought terrefying his hammer did acid damage wich whas great cause upon hit his hammer goes trough the armor or shield and right into the enemy wich died instantly or after of the biting effect,
dorbin got knocked over but got helped back on feet by his lads and they where dooing a great job pushing them back not many had fallen and dorbin smashed trough shield helmets armors and bodys.

they where about to win when suddenly the duergar seemed to smile they all started to laugh and magick missles fire rays ice rays and red beams came out of the dark the duergar had called upon dark clerics and sorcerers the silver reflected most atacks but tagdar and dorbin where less lucky tagdar got hit by ice fire and after that some magick missles he got knocked out he lay there unconscious half frozen,
dorbin had a ring that protected him against such things he didnt felt anything from the elemental spells but the magick missles hurted him pretty bad but he carried on they got to the lines where the casters where he manged to get a few till one did another magick missles aimed only for him and he got full hit, he screamed of pain as it where so many missles that after a few they start going trough him and he died falling on his knees.
the war gone on for a few hours after that the silver dwarfs won against the grey cousins whit not so many losses thanks to thier silver armor.

tagdar woke up 4 days after the battle asking where dorbin whas he heared the news and passed out again.
2 days after that he woke up again feeling weak cause he had not drunken anything or ate anythign dwarfs can go out whit food or drinks long time but not a wounded one, so they gave him a drink he heared that they gave him a good grave among the other dwarfs that had fallen.
tagdar got out visited the grave and payed his respects mumbling to himself that this whas his idea that got him and his old friend gagna killed .

2 weeks later he whas all up and runnign again he saw no point in staying he whas planning to see what happend to his borthers so he headed out in the open again alone no ol friends just him alone.

dutchy:
ages past as tagdar wandered and fought his way trough, at a small town he heared some locals talk about a few dwarfs they named a few names and tagdar recognised them as his brothers he asked where they headed to and went the same road.
he searched for them and searched for them but somehow they seemed to be way ahead of him, he came to a town called brosna heared of a band of dwarves that died not to long ago (mind you another 120 years passed befor he got there) and seemed his brothers died and went missing after a great battle defending the town from the drow invaders.
tag went to the black hills a local dwarven settlement and found out that one of his brothers had a son named balga stonebeard he whas a young dwarf leading the settlement, tagdar met up with balga and they started to make the settlement grow better defences and equipment were made also where the towns income.
tagdar whas in charge of the miletary and had to use his experiance often against the drow or local orc clan that got aided by the giants.
balga whas more into making sure the city kept growing and well funded tagdar kept making adjustments to the miletary side of the  growing settlement, few years later they got a priest of moradin    tagdars youngest brother orodin came looking for his lost brothers, after telling the story they decided theyl make the town grow and grow till it be as great as the silfer mountains as were they come from (accept balga he whas born in the black hills)
orodin builded a temple  tagdar made all walls thicker and all equipment better, as balga made them richer.


years and years past as the town prospered fine all attacks got reppeled with ease, till one day the drow managed to use the orcs and giants as allies they broke trough alas for the invaders the townsfolk were not only miners but fine warriors to not many dwarves fell, tagdar orodin and balga rushed after the invaders when they fled.
balga whas way ahead of them and followed the invaders into the underdark where he came across a mighty drow a fierce battle whas done but the young dwarf lost, tagdar and morodin where lost and decided to head back in hope that thier young nephew whas waiting for them.
how wrong they were a few days later they recieved word from the local paladins that a drow came with a dwarfen body  and left it there an seeked no more war with the black hills.
they burried balga and thus tagdar became king, he ruled for many years pretty peacefull untill a khajit invasion came this whas his hardest trial  a massive fleet aproached, and all cities asked for aid yet none left to weaken there defences, tagdar made his army go towards brosna as no call for aid will be disregarded.
they fought off the khajit army in brosna only to hear a messenger tell them that a massive strike force captured his hills filled with anger and rage the dwarven army rushed homewards to crush the invaders, wich they did the khajit got brutaly murdered and thier limbs sended back to the rest of the invading army as a warning.
this battle took years to end but the humans halflings elves and dwarves came out as the victors.
53 years past when tagdar told orodin he whas going to find dagda the oldest of all the stonebeard brothers, to see what had become of him, he sat out traveled a few years and ended up getting captured ina drow encampment, he got beaten daily an tortured then healed  just to get the same treatment next morning.
whas about 17 years later when he managed to escape using halflings as his allies, they rushed out as soon they could till they saw daylight wich whas a warm welcome after so many years of a dark prison.
2 years later tadgar whas resting when he suddenly heared howling he looked around saw a thick mist heading his way he passed out and ended up in what looked like a gypsy camp.

dutchy:
/// ill add his adventures of potm soonish

dutchy:
tagdar woke up looking around confused he checked his gear....found out he got robbed he yelled in anger around him yet no response from his seroundings.

he got up and started walking he came across a gypsy camp he passed it as he wasnt to much fond of that type of people, he came across the outskirts of a city he noticed a temple that could colapse anyday now and a inn, as a true dwarf he chooce the inn as his first choice to see where he landed in.

soon he heared about the tales indoors about how these lands are untamed and dangerous where the main words of the warnings he gotten.

took him awhile to get used asfar he could get used beeing stuck his gear replenished and he found a few other dwarves that also where stuck in these strange lands where the night is all but kind to those who brave themselfs outside at such hours of the day.
the dwarves had an idea of reinstating a old dwarven way, in strange lands where no real settlement of thier kin is near they create a order of some sort, and such they did    the order of the dwarven ale beards whas made, no true leader just friends who look after another, during thier adventures they came across ronus and gungnir who joined the same order.
these dwarves wernt the same   thignus whas a warrior who rather charged then talk,  vanolly whas more of the second chances and thought humans could change and learn, ronus and gungnir young as they are did not know what to do they disliked humans yet needed them to gain gear you could say they where mainly nuetral, one thing these dwarves had in common though the hatred against the gaurds.
tagdar met a few gaurds soon after he arrived, hood checks and daily beatings where normal for him  as he whas used to his own kindgdom he often refused to listen......but more often got taunted and he went for it.
time passed tagdar made more allies and some friends, the hatred for the gaurds grew and grew, one nigth the dwarves decided to get back at the gaurds for cutting of thier beards.
they hid in the woods and let gungnir take two gaurds towards the spot where they would jump the gaurds and slay them.........alas for them 5 went with them and gungnir took a difrant route to not get the order of the ale beards in trouble.
they returned to a inn and discussed what went wrong over some ales plotting the demise of the gaurds.
