History:

The Skullcleavers are a band of Dwarves rallied together originally by a Dwarf known as Gael Ironhide. Ironhide formed the Brigade as a homage to his days at Citadel Felbarr and the many patrols of the orc claimed lands surrounding the citadel. Upon the loss of too many of his patrols Emerus Warcrown ordered for the patrols of the outer lands to stop and Gael was reassigned in the halls of the citadel where he grew tired of his duties and longed for the thrill of battle. He formed the group consisting of possibly eight dwarves (none of which was openly recorded); the group formed on several occasions and lead many successful patrols of the Viridale Forest and Sharan Hills. Some time after the groups formation the bands leader dissapeared (believed dead) and thus the keystone of the Skullcleavers was removed allowing the dwarves to once again take on thier seperate paths. Eventually the cup of the Skullcleavers was taken up by a Dwarf known as Glagnur Frostfury he managed to gather a few of the dwarves for a short time before he too dropped the cup.

The most recent attempt to rally dwarves was from a female dwarf by the name of Boflasia Glimmerstone where in she offered her services as a healer to any dwarf in need.

Finally after many failed attempts it seems that it was a human that reignighted the flames of the Skullcleavers. Master Pentec, friend of Brorgor Ironfist offered to his friend to fund and aid in the assembly of the dwarves to the only known dwarven banner in Sundren, The Skullcleavers. He has paid to have the armors and arms for ten dwarves commissioned and made to match. A dark armor with spiked pauldrens and an Insignia on the center of each Platemail the Skullcleavers armor is as much to give the dwarves that wear it pride as it is to strike fear into wouldbe opposers.

The Skullcleavers Insignia is a flaming skull with a double bladed war axe etched on top of the face of the skull. Besides the magics that strengthen any armor or weapon the insignia is placed on it is believed Master Pentec also infused the insignia to allow the Skullcleavers know where their comrades are.

Purpose:

To provide a good banner, arms, and armor for the dwarves of Sundren, and to serve whatever goodly cause they decide. They are not considered mercenaries, tho their involvement can be requested to assist the city or whatever group. They make regular patrols of the Viridale Forest and have eventual plans to set up a post somewhere around Sundren.

Leadership:

At present there is no defined leader of the brigade tho likely one will be decided in time. For now Master Pentec acts as a kind of steward for the band of dwarves.
