History

To understand the history of Hefrumm one needs to understand the history of the forest dwarves as a whole. Forest dwarves are one of the subraces of the dwarven race, all descendants of Gloin Treebeard, the first forest dwarf. The first forest dwarves appeared in Aegis alongside the mountain dwarves and cave dwarves.

Aegis

The parents of the first dwarves were Urguan and Yudora. Their children were the elders of the dwarven race, the founders of the first clans of the dwarves. The clans we now call elder clans, fore the mountain dwarves; Yavok’s Irehearts, Bongrin’s Grandaxes, and Ulrah’s Frostbeards, then there were the clans of the cave dwarves; the Goldhands of Tungdil, Dwain’s Ironguts, Gotrek’s Starbreakers, and Velkan’s Ironborn. But there was ever only one forest dwarf child of Urguan; Gloin, founder of the Treebeards.

Unlike other the mountain and cave dwarves the forest dwarves, despite gloin not being the youngest child of Urguan, were the youngest of the established subraces of the forest dwarves. By the time of the Blood Age the forest dwarves were already detached from the other dwarven groups, many forest dwarves being divided into tribes of one clan living in isolation from both cave and mountain dwarves.

There are different theories as to why the forest dwarves left the fold of the dwarves. One of the most popular ones is that Gloin went on exile after his brothers started to become distrustful of his habits, he enjoyed the forests, other races, and other cultures, which to some of his brothers seemed strange. No matter what the end reason was, the fact of the matter is that the forest dwarves left or were made to leave the folk, making them turn into different forest dwarf tribes. During the Empire of Khorvad the forest dwarf clans were hunted down, destroying most of the forest dwarf cultures.

Curse of Greed

The curse of greed was present in all dwarves. Mountain dwarves sought to achieve wealth and power through which conquest could bring more wealth which, and the cave dwarves greed represented itself in a lustful desire for gold, gems, and machinery that would enable them to extract more from the core of the mountain. However, Gloin’s greed was more focused on general hoarding, and it was not an individual greed, but a collective one. While other dwarves would become rivals to achieve their desires the Gloin and his children collectivized. They were greedy to be sure, but their sense of self was so tied to each other that giving to another forest dwarf was just like giving to themselves.
