[edit] Overview

The Dwarf mines of Ekrund were once rich and productive, having been established in the Dragonback Mountains back at the dawning of the Dwarven empire. That was before the time of woes, and the long decline. In recent years, enterprising and adventurous Dwarf companies have been returning to Ekrund, eager to reclaim the lost treasures hidden in the buried halls of the stronghold. With the coming of the Waaagh! led by the Bloody Sun Boyz to the nearby Mount Bloodhorn, Ekrund has become an important outpost in the fight against the Greenskin horde, and the Dwarfs here are hurrying to repair the defenses of the old fortress while fighting the Greenskins in the surrounding caves and tunnels.

[edit] Creatures

Ekrund was controlled by the greenskins for thousands of years, and their leavings show. Trolls and squigs infest the area, along with the ubiquitous orcs and gobbos themselves. If it wasn't for their stonework having resisted vandalism for so long the dwarfs would be the ones looking out of place!
