Norkai was a mysterious dwarf who kept a lot of anger in his heart due to the harsh life he has had. He was forced by Verthaik II Frostbeard to order the murder of his adoptive father Baldin. He also had to be humiliated for many years for being the adoptive son of Baldin. Even when Norkai tried to join the Frostbeard clan, the clan of his biological parents and adoptive father he was denied. This forced Norkai to find another clan. He soon became friends with Edel Stonemace who was also of Frostbeard blood but followed his father Throri in making a new clan. Eventually the Throri and Edel became enemies trying to gain leadership of the clan. By now Norkai was the only elder in the clan and as both sides voted for themselves when it came time to pick a leader Norkai tried to make the best of it. Edel did not have anything to offer Norkai. Throri however offered his daughter to Norkai in exchange of the vote. In repulsion of such attitude and because Edel was Norkai's friend he voted for the son. Soon after Norkai and Edel became inseparable and they formed the Silvervein clan out of the bones of the clan of Edel's Father, Norkai becoming Kerwyr II Silvervein and Edel becoming Edel Silvervein.

Surprisingly the legacy of Norkai is veiled in mystery. He was a dwarf beloved by his children and the other Steelhearts.

However, when Edel returned from his presumed death he dedicated himself to devalue the accomplishments of the dwarf as he feared he was stealing the spotlight from him. Because of this the accomplishments of Norkai in the Silvervein have been mostly lost to time with very few dwarves remembering the time when Norkai was an honored elder of the clan.
