Dreek Ireheart II also known as High King Dreek Ireheart II was the sixth High King of Kaz'Ulrah of the Dwarves from 1671 until his murder in 1672.
History
Childhood
Dreek Ireheart II was born to Drynn Ireheart and spent much of his childhood hunting animals in the nearby forest. When he was not out hunting, he would be beating up and baiting young Irongut scholars with his Frostbeard friends, a past time who's invention many attribute to Gorum Frostbeard.
Young Adult
As a young adult Dreek II spent much time practicing his diplomatic skills. Despite being an Ireheart he was more inclined to talk before drawing his hammer, a trait which would help him greatly in his later life. Even so, he was often seen on the front lines of various battles, bashing his war-hammer against his shield, letting all know that the Irehearts were on the field of battle. When his fellow Ireheart, Bastion committed suicide in Kal'Omith by jumping off the balcony, Dreek II came to visit the city and found it empty. The following day, a large meeting took place in the Senate room, which would end in bloodshed as the Slaughter of the Senate occurred.
The following day, Dreek II followed his father Drynn Ireheart to the city of Tal'Azmar where the majority of Urguan loyalist Dwarves were. He often spent time with his father in the mines, doing whatever he could to take his mind off the tense situation that was sweeping the Dwarven lands. One day, his fathers pickaxe nearly broke and so they went to visit Zahrer Irongrinder and ask him to repair it. They were disappointed however, to find that their request was arrogantly denied. Disheartened, the two began to walk home. At the doorsteps of their house, Drynn told his son that he wanted to take a walk down to the desert, to see if there were any wandering blacksmiths who could maybe repair his prized pickaxe. As he was exiting Tal'Azmar however, he was ambushed by a Frostbeard raid and quickly cut down. His father, knowing fully well that no one would ever fix his pickaxe decided he had no purpose in this world and died swiftly. Upon hearing the news Dreek II was devastated that his old childhood friends would commit such an act, even if they were at war. He angrily, but quietly pulled out of Tal'Azmar and disappeared for some time.
Reign
Death
During his coronation in the throne room of Kaz'Ulrah, all was going well the dwarves No matter status were celebrating the newly crowned king. While all within the hall were feasting and drinking, directly on top the throne room lied a cunning party of mercenaries lead by known dwarven terrorist Charles the Bald. With picks he drove a hole into the expertly carved stone roof directly above the throne where King Dreek was sitting. And with malice in his heart he jumped directly on top the king. Before anyone could react Charles stabbed King Dreek multiple times. The wounds went deep as the dwarves rushed to the defense of the king. But the mercenaries had other plans, they jumped down the hole and pulled their weapons out. The dwarves doing the same a great battle insued in the throne room. Kori dragged the king to safety using a secret passage to escort him. The dwarves outnumbered and unprepared died more than they could kill. Although Kori dragged the king to safety and Kazrin did his best with his potions it was in vain as the king passed away. Laying lifeless, woth the king dead the mercenaries lead by Charles took the crown, mocking the dwarves as they escaped Kaz'Ulrah. As a monument to the death of King Dreek two gems which were supposed to be gifts for the newly crowned were named in his honor. The funeral was held and dwarves from all over the world mourned for the loss of the Ireheart. And so the twin gems of Dreek lay in the footsteps of the throne the gift that was never given.
