Dwarves of Ironhall

The king of the Granite Court claims dominion over all the mountain dwarves of Auctorus; however, some dwarves defy this rule and are cast out of their families and homes under the mountain. The Dwarves of Ironhall are such a group; not related by clan, and not even entirely of mountain dwarf stock, they are bound by oath for mutual protection and support.

The name “Dwarves of Ironhall” is itself a bit of an inside joke for the dwarves as Ironhall is not an actual place, at least not on a regular basis— for a time “Ironhall” was a pub in Orcspire, but more often it is an oxcart a few of the dwarves use as a ‘mobile command center’. Their status as refugees and transient lifestyle leads to the dwarves of Ironhall often serving as mercenaries or seeking gold and glory as adventurers.

Notable members of Ironhall include Hooah, Aarrp, and Dam Ironmaster. The dwarves can be encountered in adventure portfolio A1 Lairs of Lawlessness.

The names they share with outsiders are usually puns derived from jargon used by adventurers and soldiers and are often dirty or obscene. A typical member of the company has the following statistics:
