The Irongut Clan, one of the longest living clans of the Dwarves, and true cave dwarves at heart. Since the reign of Urguan himself, many influential Ironguts have played vital roles in the ever-changing story of our world, including Kings and Lords, indeed, even an Ascended among their ranks. Whether seen forging great weapons for the Kingdom, extracting the treasures of the cavernous depths, or harnessing the great magical forces of the world, the Ironguts have always been a strong and important clan of the Dwarves.
History
Aegis
The Ironguts rebuilt the Irongut manor and lived both there and in the Capital of Kal'Urguan. They are the first clan to disco ver their past and gain together in many numbers. Two notable Ironguts ascend to the throne, King Algrim and King Belin. Kilgrim Irongut becomes the first dwarven mage, and Hiebe Irongut becomes the first and only ascended of the Dwarves. Ironguts eventually lose their famed manor to the invasion to the Undead and in a desperate attempt to ensure that their dead would not be reanimated, had to burn the bodies of the past Ironguts. The ashes were collected and from then on the Ironguts have always burned the bodies of the dead.
Asulon
The early days of Asulon Hiebe tried to remove the King Thorik but was unsuccessful due to as the people did not share his views. The Ironguts left the dwarven nation and created the Island Nation of Holm. This nation was short lived, and after news of Thorik’s death the Ironguts returned to their brethren of stone. The Ironguts supported the new King Kjell but after many new cities being built and the King never thinking for the best of all the Ironguts sided with the other grand clans, Grandaxe and Goldhand, rebelled from Kjell and lived in Kal'Dwain built by Darius Irongut. The major clans prospered but then Hiebe, backed by the other clan lords, rebuilt Karik and moved all the dwarves there. Hiebe became King shortly after as the clan lords offered it to him.
Anthos
The early days of Anthos where a troublesome time for the clan. While other larger clans used what positions they had in the government to get access to large quantities of food and materials, and growing rich, the Ironguts had no such power. Their numbers where no more than a handful as many had gone missing on the trip. They survived though and with the end of King Omithiel's reign, things turned around for the clan. When Thorin Grandaxe took the crown, so to did Dominic Irongut take the leadership of the clan. The Ironguts attained a clan hall and power in the government, but for some it was not enough.

Hogarth abdicated shortly after however. Hiebe Irongut managed to get hold of the Kal’Varak.
Athera
With the new Kingdom established in the Kazradin region, many Ironguts had returned to re-unite with their family.
