Hammerfist

|
The Hammerfist Clan is one of the commoner clans of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. They were created after an incident with the Ironguts, which banished some of their memebers because of unknown reasons. The exiled dwed then created their own clan and started serving the kingdom in any means neccessary. Although the incident has possibly left some of the Irongut members with a bitter taste in their mouth, most of them have no grudges after years of Hammerfist service to the kingdom.

Founding
The Hammerfist Clan was born when Duren Irongut, tired of the disrespect he had received from his kinsmen decided to leave the clan with his brothers Farin and Magar and found the Hammerfist Clan.
First Frostbeard Rebellion
The Hammerfist Clan fought as a loyalist clan during The First Frostbeard Rebellion and rose to the attention of Grand King Skippy Irongut. Due to the new clan’s loyalty to the Kingdom they were granted a plot of land in Mantie Valley.
Kal’Khron
Soon the small plot of land at the side of the Mantie Valley became the clan’s first hold, Kal’Khron.
Death of Skippy Irongut
With the death of Grand King Skippy Irongut a new dwed was needed to fill the role of Grand King. Soon after, Duren Hammerfist was nominated by Demagol Doomforged for the position of Grand King. Many dwed were shocked when they found out Duren lost only by a few votes to Uldar Irongut.
Grand King Uldar “The Mad” Irongut
After Uldar Irongut’s victory over Duren Hammerfist in the election he quickly began to make questionable changes to the kingdom, one of them being the destruction of the Hammerfist hold Kal’Khron which angered many members of the Hammerfist Clan. Later when Uldar illegally left the kingdom to Gauldrim Irongut the Hammerfist clan supported Midgor Ireheart in removing him from office.
The Eighteen Years' War
The Hammerfist Clan making up a large portion of the Grand Legion suffered many casualties during the war wiping out the majority of the clan’s population as the war raged on.

Presumed dead, the remaining Hammerfist elected Darek Hammerfist to be the clan’s second Clan Father.

Post-War Years
Ten years after the 18 Year’s War Duren returned from his disappearance and took back up control of the clan. After some bad decisions Duren Tried to Vassalize the Hammerfist clan under the Frostbeard Clan but when that failed he vassalized it under the Grandaxe Clan. Most of the Hammerfist Clan joined up with the Grandaxes but some fled in exile to re-establish the clan in the Dreadlands.
