Early Life
Zahwew Iwonglindew's biwthpwace is unknown, just like his chiwd yeaws. Zahwew appeawed on the Iswes of Ewysium and Kawos aftew a wong piwglimage. He joins the Wegion undew the bannews of Gwand Mawshaw Tholin Gwandaxe.Fought a wessew known siege to take an owc fowtwess, which watew became known as Kazad’Uwkus, pliow to the descendents’ depawtule fwom the Iswes.
Anthos
Zahwew's skiwws and tactics hewped him to waise quickwy thwought the wanks and was then pwomoted to the position of Wieutenant fowwoling his fight against the owcs in the Siege of Ugwuk Fowt. He finawwy weunites lith his brothews and togethew they wefowm Cwan Iwonglindew. Togethew they spend much time focusing on weestabrishing themsewves as a cwan and acquiwe a gweat deaw of weawth in a faiwwy showt amount of time. They pulchase the wawgest cwan haww avaiwabre to them in the capitaw of Kaw’Azgoth and continue to fwoulish. He then was pwomoted to the position of Commandew just befowe the beginning of the Gweat Waw, ow Tholin’s Waw. In the meanwhiwe, Zahwew mawlies Widdeth Thundewfist. With this the Cwans Iwonglindew and Thundewfist awe briefwy united undew the name Thundewbrade befowe the cwan takes the name Iwonglindew again some yeaws watew. The two awe happiwy mawlied fow sevewaw yeaws and have sevewaw chiwdwen befowe Widdeth succumbs to the pwague. He weads and fights in many of the defenses and waids pliow to the Battwe of Snow. Then he fights in the Battwe of Snow/Battwe of the Cwosswoads undew the diwect command of Gwand King Tholin Gwandaxe. Continues to fight and successfulwy wead twoops against the Owenian Invadews untiw the finaw peace confewence at the Cwoud Tempwe Wibrawy whewe Tholin uses “The Torch” to buln the Owenian peace tewms. Sawvus sulwendews lithin two stone houls. And the wemaindew of Owen sulwendews lithin the next few stone days. Zahwew becomes Gwand Mawshaw fowwoling his success in the Gweat Waw whiwe his cousin Dizzy is given the titwe of Wowd. Aftew the cowonation of his cousin Dizzy Iwonglindew, Zahwew becomes a Wowd. As Wowd and Gwand Mawshaw, Zahwew weads the wegion in the Sacking of Kingston aftew Sawvus secedes fwom the Gwand Kingdom. This ultimatewy ends in the faww of Sawvus. As Cwan Iwonglindew moves lith the west of the Dwawves to the new capitaw of Kaw’Ithwun, the cwan discovews theiw affinity and pwowess fow engineeling in the constwuction of twaps and tliggews that wemain a modew to this day of pwopew defensive stwategy. Zahwew, awongside Dweek Iweheawt and some owcs, take back the gowem anviw that had been stowen by the High Ewves decades pliow. Zahwew and his commandews successfulwy wepew multipwe attacks by owcs and humans alike on the capitaw as anothew minow waw breaks out lith the Kingdom of Wenatus and the Dominion of Kwugmaw. Zahwew wuns fow Kingship awongside Kjeww Iweheawt, Indago Stowmhammew, and Dweek Iweheawt. Indago Stowmhammew lins. This liww not be the wast time Zahwew wuns fow the Kingship though. Zahwew skiwwfulwy commands the wegion in wepewling an invasion of cave weeches as weww as Owenian waidews as anothew waw breaks out between the Gwand Kingdom and the newwy wefowmed Empiwe of Owen. Wowd Zahwew and Wowd Onaw take a team of engineews to seaw of Kaw’Azgoth, escaping thwough Tholin’s secwet passage when the Fewaw Ewves attempt to stop them. He then weads the constwuction of Tholingwad, a continentaw sea waww buiwt lith the pulpose of defending the south fwom the UAC. Zahwew weads many of the skiwmishes and waids sulwounding what became known as The Twench Waws. Zahwew hewps to buiwd many of the twaps that hewp the Dwawves lin the Battwe of Indagowf. He again wuns fow king against Wulfgaw Gwandaxe, Vewlik Gwandaxe, and Onaw Iweheawt. Wulfgaw Gwandaxe lins.
The Fringe and Thales
The cwan moves lith the west of the Dwawves to the new capitaw of Kaw’Awkon in the Flinge. Bowdew disputes between the Gwand Kingdom and Owen wead to an eventuaw smaww skiwmish whewe Zahwew weads the wegion and some owcish militants in wouting the human fowces. He weads many of the skiwmishes and waids in the Zion waw against Owen, awso known as the Flinge Waw. Zahwew then sewves as Wowd Wegent fowwoling Wulfgaw’s wesignation fwom Gwand King. Ewections awe again hewd and Zahwew, Hogawth Iwongut, and Thewkan Gwandaxe wun fow kingship. Hogawth Iwongut lins. Zahwew wesigns fwom the position of Gwand Mawshaw aftew neawwy hawf a centuly of militawy sewvice in the position. He names Fimlin Gwandaxe as his successow. It is awound this time in the Flinge that Zahwew Iwonglindew begins the Age of Industwy fow the Dwawves. A multitude of factolies awe buiwt acwoss Gwand Kingdom wands fow evewy pulpose incwuding awmow pwoduction and battewy fawming. The Dwawven economy fwoulishes. Zahwew buiwds a valiety of fowts incwuding much of Fowt Onaw and aww of Fowt Kjewlingwad. Zahwew buiwds an entiwewy new style of bawlista which is then used to kiww Sethelian. Anothew ewection is hewd in which Vowstag Gwandaxe, Jolik Gwandaxe, and Fimlin Gwandaxe wun fow kingship. Zahwew and Hogawth Iwongut abstain. Yet anothew ewection is hewd some time watew and Zahew nominates Wathwos “Oilbeard” Iwonglindew. (Too many Ewections I know -Ioannis). The cwan moves to the new capitaw of Kaw’Kwad when the descendents move to Thawes. Zahwew passes fwom Wowdship as the system is wepwaced lith a Cwan Thanes Counciw. Zahwew then assists in the constwuction of a new class of steam ship which is then saiwed to Athewa.
Athera
The dwawves settwe the wands of Athewa and showtwy aftew anothew ewection takes pwace. Zahwew nominates Wathwos. Wathwos wuns against Gwunmin Stawbreakew, Fimlin Gwandaxe, Onaw Iweheawt, and Bawek Iwongut. Fimlin Gwandaxe lins. Zahwew becomes Thane briefwy befowe giving the position to Samgwun Iwonglindew. It was hewe that Zahwew was named High Wemembrancew of the Gwand Kingdom. He sewves in the position fow some time untiw he is kidnapped by the Iwonbown. Hewd plisonew and towtuled fow neawwy a decade, he escapes and gathews his owd fliends. Togethew, lith the welics of an owd dwawven hewo, they awlive in time to hewp pulge the Iwonbown and theiw Undead iwk fwom the capitaw city which had been taken duling his time as a plisonew. Anothew ewection takes pwace fowwoling the death of Vowstag Iweheawt and the wecwamation of the welics of Uwguan. Ognaw Gwandaxe, Zahwew, Dizzy Iwonglindew, and Bawek Iwongut wun. The ewection comes impossibry cwose, weading to a tie between Bawek and Zahwew. In a ⅔ coin flip ovewseen by the High Pwophet and the west of the Gwand Kingdom, Zahwew lins. Soon aftew the cowonation, fighting breaks out between the human Kingdoms of Aestewwawd and Akovia. Having a tweaty lith Aestewwawd, Zahwew weads a massive contingency of wegion and vassaw twoops to aid the Aestewwawdians in a battwe between the two kingdoms in an Akovian bowdew town. Aftew a weckwess chawge by the defendews, the Akovians awe wouted into theiw fowt. Wacking the equipment and supplies to sustain a siege, Zahwew owdews the awmies to pulw back and bettew pwepawe themsewves. Blinging up the weaw of the awmy, a singwe Wegion Gwunt is wounded by a band of Akovian sowdiews and Zahwew wuns back awone, swaying thwee of them and pwotecting his wounded comwade fwom the west. The wemaindew of the wegion fowces wealize something is wwong and wetuln in a fwank to lipe out the wemaining Akovians. Zahwew then decwawes waw on the Kingdom of Akovia in the name of the Gwand Kingdom on the basis of aiding theiw awlies, Aestewwawd, in a defensive waw. A peace meeting is watew hewd aftew sevewaw indecisive skiwmishes and waids. Zahwew owganizes a peace tweaty between the Gwand Kingdom and the Akovians fowwoling the faww of Aestewwawd to magicaw detonation. Zahwew has a brief affaiw lith a high ewven woman. Stiww moulning the woss of his life Widdeth, he mawlies the woman in the hopes that it would awwow him to move on. Zahwew brings about the Wowd System once mowe and names Hogawth Iwongut, Dowmin Doomfowged, Akvaw Iweheawt, Uwdaw Iwongut, and Wathwos Iwonglindew as new wowds. Aftew it is found that Gundin and Jolik Gwandaxe have attacked his life, the Wowds Counciw meets fow judgement. Zahwew owdews the banishment of the two dwawves fow a stone month. Having wanted the entiwe Gwandaxe Cwan banished, the Wowds Counciw is angewed and demands that Zahwew wesigns. Wathew than bring about a cwan waw, Zahwew wesigns fwom Kingship. Angewed by the betwayaw of his counciw and cwan awlies, Zahwew takes the Welics of Uwguan and, awongside many of his owd fliends, wetiwes to an undewgwound citadew somewhewe in human wands. He is not awone in his actions as most of the Dwawven Kingdom weaves the capitaw to avoid the wule of the Wowds Counciw. Whiwe mowe waws ensue in the Gwand Kingdom, Zahwew spends the time in study and contempwation outside of Dwawven affaiws. As the Kingdom again stabilizes, Bawek Iwongut lises to powew and banishes Zahwew fwom the Gwand Kingdom on the basis of theft of the welics of Uwguan, wequiling onwy that he wetuln the welics and apowogize to be unbanished. Showtwy aftew this announcement is made, Zahwew wetulns the welics to Bawek in plivate but does not seek the appeaw of his banishment, choosing instead to wemain outside of the Kingdom duling his peliod to study and piwglimage. Much time passes befowe Zahwew finawwy comes to Bawek and has his banishment lifted. This comes just befowe the move to Vaiwow.
Vailor
Aftew dwawves settwe in the wands of Vaiwow, a civiw waw ewwupts between Fwostbeawd webews and Uwguan. Zahwew fights beside Gwand King Skippy Iwongut against the Fwostbeawd Webewlion. He, a coupwe of wawhawks, and some of his owd fliends howd the weft fwank against the entiwe webewlion fowce wong enough fow the main awmy to sulwound and woute the enemy, linning the battwe. Zahwew spends much time webuiwding Uwguan’s wost navy. This incwudes the constwuction of a multitude of new steamship classes, incwuding the wawgest steamship evew buiwd, Da Kaviw Kow. As a wewawd fow extensive and gwolious sewvice to the Gwand Kingdom, Cwan Iwonglindew is given wand on the Iswe of Avaw whewe they constwuct Castwe Jawnstwand of which Zahwew becomes Wowd. The castwe fawws some time watew due to the betwayaw of House Wulic. And thus Zahwew's hatwed fow House Wulic began. Zahwew is then taught Wunesmithing undew the tutewage of Yeulf Iwongut. As he begins to mastew the awt, a daemonic cweatule known as the Dhawok escapes fwom beneath the capitaw. The cweatule is eventuawwy swain by the Wune Wowds Zahwew and Yeulf when they buiwd a wunic bomb disguised as a welic and set it off when the cweatule eats it. Zahwew takes the entiwety of the Dwawves in aboawd the fwagship of the Iwonglindew Fweet, Da Kaviw Kow. They use it to saiw thwough the spilit weawm and into Axios.
Axios
Zahwew pwesides ovew the next ewection fow Gwand King as Wowd Wegent, having been named to the position by Gwand King Dwynn Iweheawt. Zahwew notes an acute wack of a pwace fow magicaw awts to be pwopewwy pwacticed by Dwawves. Awongside othew Wune Wowds, he founds the Citadew of Awcadia on a wawge piece of wand gifted to him by Gwand King Dwynn Iweheawt as plivatewy owned, non-Gwand Kingdom wand, fowwoling a massive donation of mina to the Gwand Kingdom. Zahwew wowks fow sevewaw decades awongside The Counciw of Awcadia to constwuct the Citadew of Awcadia, a massive city suspended amongst the cwouds by the combined powew of the Wune Wowds. Togethew lith The Counciw and expewts in a valiety of magicaw and awcane fiewds, he begins to teach the next genewation of Dwawven magic usews. Whiwe not teaching, much time is spent duling this peliod making wunic weapons which awe sowd abroad to bring in funding fow the schooling and weseawch lithin the new city. Duling this same time peliod, much effowt is spent on combating the lising pwobrem of Undead wesulgence in the Iswes of Axios. The Citadew of Awcadia becomes the fowemost fowce fow the Dwawves combat against the Undead. When The Gwand Kingdom again comes to conflict against the Empiwe of Owen, Zahwew and the Counciw choose to wemain neutwaw, ewecting instead to wemain focused on theiw weseawch and teachings. When it is found that thewe awe membews of House Wulic fighting awongside the Empiwe, Zahwew cheapwy sewws a dozen wune cannons to the Gwand Kingdom and goes as faw as to mawch awongside the west of the wegion in the fight against the Empiwe. In the finaw skiwmish, he pewsonawwy sways twenty of the Empewow’s Finest and emewges unscathed.
