Looking for a specific story that was told ages ago.
« on: July 04, 2012, 12:35:02 am »

I've had some trouble using the search function to find this tale, because I don't remember it well enough to wrangle through the results.

A long time ago someone told a story about something they saw in legends mode, about one old battleax of a female dwarf who led countless battles and singlehandedly saved her tiny empire from ruin again and again, at least that's how I remember it. I may be embellishing details here, but if memory serves she dropped dead of old age during her last duel, and her empire was crushed soon after she fell.

That may have been Tholtig Cryptbrain you're thinking of.

I mean, look at us.  You give us a young child and a puppy, and we produce, possibly, one of the biggest sins against nature the game has ever seen.
