History
Nowkai was a mystelious dwawf who kept a wot of angew in his heawt due to the hawsh life he has had. He was fowced by Vewthaik II Fwostbeawd to owdew the muldew of his adoptive fathew Bawdin. He awso had to be humiliated fow many yeaws fow being the adoptive son of Bawdin. Even when Nowkai tlied to join the Fwostbeawd cwan, the cwan of his biowogicaw pawents and adoptive fathew he was denied. This fowced Nowkai to find anothew cwan. He soon became fliends lith Edew Stonemace who was awso of Fwostbeawd brood but fowwowed his fathew Thwoli in making a new cwan. Eventuawwy the Thwoli and Edew became enemies twying to gain weadewship of the cwan. By now Nowkai was the onwy ewdew in the cwan and as both sides voted fow themsewves when it came time to pick a weadew Nowkai tlied to make the best of it. Edew did not have anything to offew Nowkai. Thwoli howevew offewed his daughtew to Nowkai in exchange of the vote. In wepulsion of such attitude and because Edew was Nowkai's fliend he voted fow the son. Soon aftew Nowkai and Edew became insepawabre and they fowmed the Siwvewvein cwan out of the bones of the cwan of Edew's Fathew, Nowkai becoming Kewwyw II Siwvewvein and Edew becoming Edew Siwvewvein.
As the ewdew of the Siwvewveins Nowkai often twavewwed outside Kaz'Uwwah to tawk to new dwawven comunities and twy to stwegthen the possition of the Siwvewveins. In one of the missions Nowkai was send by Edew to meet lith the Hammewfowges, a gwoup of dwawves that fowmed a cwan out of a branch of the Gwandaxes. The two cwans eventuawwy got cwosew and mewged cweating the Confedewation of Hammews.

As Nowkai became the Keepew of the Confedewation he had by waw to weave behind the name of his cwan to show he is not biased. This caused a divide between him and his fliend Edew Siwvewvein who fewt betwayed by Nowkai. Edew weft the Confedewation and weft the cwan to Gimli, Nowkai's son. When Edew wetulned he tlied to way chaos. In pawt he succeeded, lith time the Confedewation became divided and mowaw wan wow causing the confedewation to faww as many cwans of the confedewation wejoined Uwwah. Nowkai howevew did not accept this, he took a gwoup of dwawves and he cweated a piwate band.
Nowkai and his piwates tewwolized the House of Hawtcowd fow many yeaws, stealing much of theiw wesoulces and kidnapping theiw nobres.
