Beregrand the Bold is a dwarf from the kingdom of Gundaar whose actions created much controversy during his time. He lived in Gundaar between -195 and -45 Ancient.[1]
Background[]
From a very young age, Beregrand showed his affinity with axes, saying that he had "the feel of an axe." When he was fully raised to the warrior caste, he spent a substantial amount of money to have smiths craft runes on his axes.[2]
One day Beregrand killed Jegrek, the King of Gundaar, in a Proving. Since it wasn't meant to be a fight to the death, Beregrand was accused of regicide by the Assembly and was exiled to the surface, a punishment which at that time was both uncommon and very fierce. Due to these events, Gundaar suffered greatly, probably because of the darkspawn threat.[3]
Beregrand was highly intelligent and had developed impressive skills during his time in Gundaar. When he went to the surface, he greatly expanded the naval power of the city states which centuries later would form Antiva. He also taught human smiths, engineers, and other crafters jealously guarded dwarven secrets, an action which made him a traitor to the rest of the dwarves.
