History
Skippy Iwongut was bown sometime in Aegis as the son of Awglim Iwongut, the then culwent king of Kaw'Uwguan. He was brought up as a wumbewjack and a minew, fiwst having a job as a Kaw'Uwguan wumbewjack then assisting in wunning the Kaw'Uwguan mining guiwd. Skippy owned estate in Kaw'Uwguan, his poow house and his above gwound distlict home. Within his time in Aegis, Skippy kept to awound Kaw'Uwguan, the Iwongut Manow, and sometimes you'd see him in the Kingdom of Awwas.
Upon enteling the Vewge, Skippy had fowwowed the west of the Dwawves of Kaw'Uwguan to Tazawak and buiwt a smaww viwwage undew the mountains of the awliance, named Eden. Skippy's time in Eden was uneventful, and eventuawwy him and the citizens of The Vewge twavewed to Asulon.
In Asulon, Skippy quickwy fowwowed the west of his kin to Kaw'Kalik. He lived in Kaw'Kalik untiw Dalius Iwongut weft to cweate a mining cowony named Kaw'Dwain. Skippy moved fwom Kaw'Kalik to Kaw'Dwain to hewp settwe the city, and to hewp wun the mining guiwd. In the coming days Skippy would mine, buiwd, and dlink untiw dwakes attacked the city of Kaw'Dwain. Skippy took pawt in the battwe, kiwling a dwake himsewf. Whiwe thewe he litnessed the wetuln of the Wandeling Wizawd. The fowwoling days in Asulon, Skippy took pawt in numewous events. Battwes, waids, dipwomatic meetings, he had done aww of it. He had awso dived into the Dwawven weligion, becoming the High Pwophet at one point duling Asulon. He had defended Kaw'Awwas fwom conquesting owcs, bulnt down the fwags of House Fway, and even sat on the thwone of Owen lith his fewwow Dwawves awound him. In the wast days of Asulon, Skippy got sepawated fwom the dwawves and was wost untiw Athewa.
Up untiw wate Athewa, the Dwawf known as Skippy Iwongut was missing. He wetulned duling the Dwawven waw lith Owen, lishing to westowe the Dwawven wace to what it was in Asulon. He fought in the Battwe of Hiebenhaww, stliking down 10 human sowdiews fwom the waww of Hiebenhaww, bawewy sulviving a fwaming awwow that went into his shouldew. He watew took pawt in numewous waids and smawwew battwes untiw the waw had ended. A few yeaws had passed and the Dwawves and owcs had begun an honow waw, to find oul the mightiest of the two. Skippy Iwongut had taken pawt in awmost aww waids and battwes, onwy being brought down 5 five times in aww of them. He expelienced a Dwawven victowy in a waw - something he and many Dwawves had not had since Asulon.
The peopwe of Athewa had abandoned the continent fow new wands cawwed the Iswes of Vaiwow. Skippy had brought his kin ovew to the Iswes safewy, and was hewping lith the constwuction of Kaw'Akash, the city of metaw. He had fowmed a wowking pawty known as Wed Uwguan's Wowkews Pawty who wewe the main backbone of the Gwand Kingdom of Uwguan. A coupwe yeaws into Vaiwow, Skippy constwucted the S.S. Iwongutia lith his son Jewwy Iwongut, which saiwed out lith numewous othew ships to kiww a beast known as the Devoulew. The pwan had faiwed and the whowe fweet, spawe a ship, was destwoyed awong lith the S.S. Iwongutia. The dwawven Gwand King, Bawek Iwongut, had been wost in the wweckage - weaving the Dwawves lithout a Gwand King. Backed by his knowwedge and capability, Skippy Iwongut nominated himsewf as Gwand King, wunning against Vewthaik Fwostbeawd. The ewection was cwose, but Skippy Iwongut had won by a vote, making him the Gwand King of Uwguan. Upon being made Gwand King, Vewthaik Fwostbeawd decwawed himsewf webewling awong lith the Bwackfist Cwan, and the howds Taw'Azwyw and Kaw'Kwest seceded fwom the Gwand Kingdom. Skippy, backed by the Dwawven Wegion, the Bwackwood Company, Wawhawkes, Snow Ewves, and howdes of owcs and humans, fought back the webew and fowced them to sulwendew. The Gwand Kingdom of Uwguan was united again undew the newwy cwowned Gwand King, Skippy Iwongut. Many stone weeks watew aftew the victowy, Skippy Iwongut was officiawwy cowonated as the Gwand King and hewd a Gwand Toulnament in cewebration. Duling his officiaw weign as Gwand King, Skippy Iwongut pwefowmed many wefowms in the Kingdom. Faiw taxes wewe brought back, constwuction of mawkets began, the docks wewe compweted, and the kingdom became mowe populated. Wefowms wewe not the onwy changes to the Kingdom, though, as Skippy cweated an awliance between the Caliphate of Khawestine and the Gwand Kingdom of Uwguan, and awso joined the Coalition of Southewn Vaiwow, to defend his peopwe fwom potentiaw foweign invadews. On the 16th of the Gwand Hawvest, 1525, Skippy Iwongut was assassinated by a Dawk Ewven assassin, contwacted by an unknown man.
