High King
The Book of Grudges
The Book of Grudges is an ancient tome passed down since the rule of High King Orun Grudgebearer from one High King to the next. In essence, it is a record of all slights, wrongdoings, and treacheries committed against Denurkind, and holds much historical value to the Mountainfolk. The streak of passing-downs was broken and the Book was destroyed. A new Book was forged to continue the legacy under High King Alaric Starbreaker.
The Book is written using the blood of the High King, and part of their tasks is exerting the authority to add new grudges or strike out grudges that have been avenged. The Book of Grudges is one of the most valued possessions of the Denur, even more so after the original tome was destroyed, and it is kept safely locked away from the eyes of the outside world.

The Doom of Dar-Nadrozz
“Let it be known that a grudge is declared against the Urks, for the theft of the hold of Dar-Nadrozz and the slaughter of those brave Denur who fell at the Doom of Dar-Nadrozz. Let this sacrilege be avenged and let none of the descendants of Arduan rest until Dar-Nadrozz is reclaimed.”
- Orun Grudgebearer (Re-entered by Alaric Starbreaker)
The Urk Grudge
“A grudge is declared against all those of Urk descent, for the continued spilling of Denur blood and having spilled that of our Ancestors. All Denur henceforth are oathbound to eradicate any and all Urks until there are none left standing or be branded Thagi. Only then will this grudge be satisfied.”
- Orun Grudgebearer (Re-entered by Alaric Starbreaker)
The Purge of Fiends
“The rot that has taken hold of our Karazums must be purged, our outlying holds have been corrupted and its Kalans have been forced to flee. The agents of Lilith have driven us back to Dar-ach Denur, all spawns of Lilith and Chaos are to be considered of foul blood and an enemy of Denurkind.”
- Uldrig Proudfist (Re-entered by Alaric Starbreaker)
The Knife-eared Folly of Wine
“The people of Luminion have openly announced their preference for wine during a recent festival, in turn slighting the craft of ale-brewing mastered in Dar-ach Denur. It is of the utmost importance the Vit-Elrik are shown the error of their ways, and taught the superiority of Denurish brew.”
- Belegar Whitebeard (Re-entered by Alaric Starbreaker)
“The grand jewel of the High Kingdom has fallen due to a magical cold, sweeping through the entire hold. The Denur have been displaced, and are without a home. All Denur are honour-bound to retake Dar-ach Denur from whatever dangers have possessed it.”
Belegar Whitebeard (Re-entered and stricken by Alaric Starbreaker)
