The black mountain clan is a small clan of swarthy deep bronze skinned, nomadic hill dwarves. They hail from a group of dwarves that were banished from their prosperous hill hold Kharajalla’dallarg because of their association with the were-skunks of Akbar just a short few generations ago (700 years).
While they are industrious, as all dwarves are, they have forsaken there mother clan and shifted their industrious energy from forging, mining, and crafting towards amassing their renown and fortunes by adventuring, body guarding, and sometimes being mercenaries, and pirates. This tribe has decided to forsake many comforts of civilization, however they maintain their sense of order, justice, and fairness (the pirates and mercenaries have an interesting take on these values, but they hold them). They are amicable with some Clans of mountain dwarves in the sword spire mountains. The civil clans they deal with refer to the black mountain clan as the wild dwarves, a pejorative term. However the black mountain clan fails to see the insult. These clans trade regularly, as the black mountain clan has wealth and desires items of fine dwarf craftsmanship, which they naturally see as far superior. They have a grudge verging on hatred for the Kharajalla’dallarg clan. Broenur a young Dwarfling of 63 makes his living as a mercenary, and sometimes as a pirate.
He has been hired by a human town of Coal Mine, to clear out a small group of rock trolls that are getting too close to the town and have eaten livestock, pets, and possibly one run away child. Broenur followed the troll trail to a cave, something about a barbarian rage, defeated a troll, collapsed in post rage, blacked out. Came too in a maze, been there a while.
