My militia captain, Ushrir Keystatic arrived with 45 kills under his name, mostly animal people. The reason why he is interesting, needs some explanation.
He is a direct descendant of Zan Tradefolded, the second queen of the civilization. The attack of the Sabres, the battle where Zan died, made her daughter, Catten Inkomens obsessed with her own mortality. Catten ruled over the dwarves for thirty years after her mother's death, then she met an enigmatic human, Gil Zenithpolished who promised her to uncover the secrets she was after. In return, he asked the queen for a tower, made from polished obsidian so high that only the dwarfs could build it.
The deal has been made, and the royal architects have started working on the plans.
The attack of the Sabres, had three more survivals. One of them was Dastot Peltshot, the general who led the defense. When her first son Asob Knifeshark spoke out against the Queen and the dark path she led them to, Dastot profaned the Occult Sanctum in his drunken fury. Gomath, god of fate cursed Dastot, and she ran.
After these event Asob banished the Queen, and claimed the throne. In the next thirty years the dwarves only spoke about the queen in hushed voices, and only in the deepest of the mines. Her books, "After the mountain halls" and the "Future of the dwarves" made her an object of worship, and a cult formed. The plan was to build the tower, and return their queen to her throne. They stole as much supplies as they could, and the seven chosen embarked on their journey as the spring came.
A season later Ushrir Keystatic showed up with the plans of the tower, and the Giant ibex horn crown of his civilization.
