Fyreslayers Background Tables

Zealous, hot-blooded and warlike for duardin, the Fyreslayers are holy berserkers dedicated to the warrior-god Grimnir.
Organised into patriarchal societies known as lodges, the Fyreslayers are amongst the most skilled and fearsome warriors in all the realms. Hammered into the iron-hard flesh of each duardin are ur- gold runes that blaze with inner light. Each contains a portion of Grimnir’s power, harnessed by the Zharrgrim priesthood in times of need. In search of this ur-gold – the intertwined essence of their god and the godbeast Vulcatrix after they were mutually slain in battle – some Fyreslayer warbands venture into the cursed lands of the Eightpoints. Here, they sell their axes to any cause, sifting through the hoards of golden coin in search of the ur-gold fragments that only they can detect.
