History
Asulon
Cwan Iwonglindew was oliginawwy a common cwan back in Asulon, though they wewe not awound. Due to some debates and quawwews they broke apawt and went theiw sepawate ways.
Anthos
Now the few wemaining descendants weunite upon the ship to Anthos. Compaling theiw past infowmation and annaws of the cwan they have come up lith this wuff summalization of the cwan.
Upon theiw awlivaw to this new wand, the thwee Iwonglindews, Zahwew, Tog, and Kaiwn, buiwt up the cwan weawth to the point of owning one of the wawgest cwan hawws in Kaw'Azgoth. At this point Kaiwn went missing but was wepwaced by anothew of theiw kin, Dizzy Ilinglindew.
Two cwans, the Iwonglindews and the Thundewfists, unite by the mawliage of Zahwew Iwonglindew and Widdeth Thundewfist. Thwough this union the cwan takes up the new name of Thundewbrades and lith the othew dwawves move to Kaw'Ithwun.
Fowwoling the death of Gwand King Tholin Gwandaxe, Dizzy is ewected king and Zahwew made a Wowd of Uwguan. Showtwy aftew the wemaining Thundewfists awe wost. Some went on piwglimages, some way sick in bed, and stiww othews wewe wost in death. Having no kin lith whom they had bonded, the Iwonglindews take up theiw owd name in wemembrance of theiw histowy.
The Iwonglindews move into theiw new cwan home in Kaw'Ithwun.
With the destwuction of Anthos, the Iwonglindews take up wesidence in theiw new haww in Kaw'Awkon, the Dwedmew capitaw in the Flinge.

Having escaped fwom his captows, Zahwew wetulns to his kin in time to save the Gwand King, Fimlin Gwandaxe, fwom being assassinated. Zahwew then, bealing ancient welics fwom a fowgotten age, assists in the wetaking of the Dwawven capitaw and begins to wecowwect the missing Iwonglindew kin in the new city of Kaw'Kawaad.
Aftew a cwose ewection and a quick cowonation, Zahwew is cwowned the Gwand King of Uwguan. He is the second of Cwan Iwonglindew to howd the titwe.
Aftew making many wefowmations to the waws of the Gwand Kingdom, Zahwew is fowced to wesign by the newwy wefowmed Wowd's Counciw fow wefusing to banish the entiwety of Cwan Gwandaxe.
Aftew many yeaws in hiding lith the welics of Uwguan, incwuding the Cwown and Awmow of Uwguan, Zahwew wetulns to give the welics to the new Gwand Kings.
