Vorstag Wulfgar Ireheart, Grand King (born Vorstag Grandaxe; 10th Deep Cold 1215 - 10th Amber Cold) was a dwarven statesman and military figurehead who was the Grand King of the Urguan from 1460-1463 and upon a second election from 1483-1488. He is one of two dwed to be elected King on more than one occasion, the other his great uncle Midgor Ireheart. Known for his at times impetuous diplomacy, a Grandaxe Scholar dubbed him "The Rash", a nickname that became associated with his uncompromising politics and somewhat controversial leadership style.
Born in the first dwarf city of Kal'Urguan, Vorstag remained on the back bench of dwarven society for his formative years and much of his adulthood. Following his father's ascension to Grand King, Vorstag moved in to more prominent roles of Urguan. His work under the Lord of Commerce earned him favor with Onar Ireheart, the Lord which would go on to nominate him for the elections.
In an event which would later be known as "Dizzygate", the election between fellow Grandaxes Fimlin, Jorik and Vorstag was forced a recount after Lord Regent Dizzy Irongrinder claimed that his own nominee had won the ballot through votes made privately. Through the clergy, an inquest was launched in to the affair and eventually concluded that Vorstag had won the election, stripping Jorik of his victory.
After a short reign in a bloodied war, the Lord's council voted to dispose of Vorstag, putting various charges upon that were shortly acquitted. Despite being pardoned of these crimes, he was unable to regain office and later left the Kingdom after being banished from his Clan.
