{{clashofkings2021}}Dravak was assigned by the Overlords to hunt down and remove the [[Free Dwarfs]] remnants after the [[Invasion of the Halpi Mountains]], mainly due to Dravak's experiments and cruelty becoming more reckless and they wanted to keep Dravak away from their cities and people. This led Dravak to [[Crag Hudd]] which was full of mineral wealth and untapped veins of magical power which was connected to conduits all over Pannithor. | {{clashofkings2021}}Dravak was assigned by the Overlords to hunt down and remove the [[Free Dwarfs]] remnants after the [[Invasion of the Halpi Mountains]], mainly due to Dravak's experiments and cruelty becoming more reckless and they wanted to keep Dravak away from their cities and people. This led Dravak to [[Crag Hudd]] which was full of mineral wealth and untapped veins of magical power which was connected to conduits all over Pannithor after finding some ancient scrolls pointing to its location. | ||
====[[Halpi's Rift]]==== | |||
As [[Abyssal Dwarfs]] dug, the stronger the magical power in the veins became. It grew the Abyssal Dwarfs lust for power and pushed them to dig deeper and deeper eventually breaking into a vast network of caverns and tunnels. This connected network was currently in conflict with thousands of [[Goblins]] figthing [[Ratkin]], unknowningly fueled by the exposure of the magical veins, and now was directed at the newly arrived Abyssal Dwarfs. | As [[Abyssal Dwarfs]] dug, the stronger the magical power in the veins became.

[[Abyssal Dwarfs]] fell back to protect Dravak as he researched the Nexus as forces were beginning to move towards the beacon including the return of the [[Ratkin]] and [[Goblins]] in the tunnels beneath [[Crag Hudd]]. Dravak used his understanding of the Nexus to attack an incoming force of [[Free Dwarfs]], leaving him exhausted. | [[Abyssal Dwarfs]] fell back to protect Dravak as he researched the Nexus as forces were beginning to move towards the beacon including the return of the [[Ratkin]] and [[Goblins]] in the tunnels beneath [[Crag Hudd]].

( | Despite Dravak's efforts, the [[Free Dwarfs]] managed to break through the outer defences of [[Crag Hudd]] in an attempt to reclaim the upper levels of the hold. This resulted in the [[Abyssal Dwarfs]] being stretched thin with [[Free Dwarfs]] up top, [[Goblins]] (led by Grupp Longnail]]) on one side of the tunnels below and [[Ratkin]] (led by [[Twitch Keenear]] on the other side, and the Abyssal Dwarfs lacked the numbers to fully engage with either. This was worsened when word got to the [[Ratkin Slaves]] about their free kin being blessed with the power of the abyss, resulting in them joining the Unshackled (free Ratkin). | ||
{{TalannarsTormentlogo}}Dravak | |||
Dravak started to doubt his own power and own ingenuity after being told about the battles outcome, killing the [[Ratkin]] messengers in response. Dravak sent [[Infernok]] to deal with the [[Goblins]] and had lost control briefly resulting in death on both sides however he returned to his side shortly after, ensuring that Dravak had a last line of defence against anyone attempting to take the Nexus from him. He knew he had to hold on. | |||
{{ClosingoftheRiftlogo}}Dravak left the platform and vanished down one of the many tunnels that led away from the Rift. | {{TalannarsTormentlogo}}Dravak used his [[Gargoyles]] to monitor the incoming [[Northern Alliance]] force as he continued to search for a way of controlling the Nexus while other [[Abyssal Dwarfs]] prepared to take on the incoming army. On the way the [[Northern Alliance]] forces met up with allies such as [[Free Dwarfs]], [[Elves]] and [[Basileans]], the combined force managed to break through the defences of [[Crag Hudd]] and a small contingent of elven mages, Basilean wizards, dwarf stone priests and ice-queens entered the hold and reached Dravak. | ||
[[Infernok]] charged at the group as Dravak stared at them furiously and his [[Immortal Guard]] moved to protect Dravak. Dravak continued to read the latest batch of parchments and scrolls that were delivered to him which continued to mentioning the gauntlets which were needed to harnass the raw energy of the Nexus. In his anger he temporarily lost control of Infernok and felt the recoil of a blade striking Infernok's torso. He concentrated once more and swatted away the elf that was fighting Infernok and with a growl of frustration he realised his dreams of controlling the Nexus was lost. | |||
Summoning [[Infernok]] to his side once more, Dravak sent hordes of [[Ratkin]] to their doom as he scuttled back into the tunnels of [[Crag Hudd]], Infernok stomping beside him. | |||
{{ClosingoftheRiftlogo}}Dravak left the platform and vanished, along with [[Infernok]], down one of the many tunnels that led away from the Rift. Whatever Dravak was doing to control the Rift had stopped also and led to the alliance of good to seal the Rift. | |||

{{Honorspricelogo}} [[Alborz]], who was the current lord of [[Llyngyr Cadw]], attempted to get assistance from Dravak as the [[Daamuz Clan]] who seemingly was still based at [[Crag Hudd]]. The messaging back was indicating he was attempting to continue to tap into the rift again and was driven slightly mad by his continued attempt. | {{Honorspricelogo}} [[Alborz]], who was the current lord of [[Llyngyr Cadw]], attempted to get assistance from Dravak as the [[Daamuz Clan]] who seemingly was still based at [[Crag Hudd]].

{{clashofkings2025}} Dravak was in [[Crag Hudd]] after being defeating during the [[Halpi's Rift]] event, having had his forces heavily depleted and few in number, dreaming of a regnue that might never come. | {{clashofkings2025}} Dravak was in [[Crag Hudd]] after being defeating during the [[Halpi's Rift]] event, having had his forces heavily depleted and few in number, dreaming of a regnue that might never come. | ||
Eventually, the [[Lord of Lies]] arrived holding the [[Black Axe]] and Dravak listened to his plan after almost turning him away out of bitterness. After hearing his plan, Dravak roused his golem [[Infernok]] and the next day sailed out for [[Estacarr]], targeting a [[Riverguard]] settlement in [[Myrrhimm]] that had marched beside [[Dwarfs]] and [[Elves]] during the [[Halpi's Rift]] conflict. | Eventually, the [[Lord of Lies]] arrived holding the [[Black Axe]] and Dravak listened to his plan after almost turning him away out of bitterness.

Along with Dravak, a cohort of [[Riftforged Orcs]] travelled with him which allowed Dravak to travel easily through towards his target. He would be counter attacked by the forces from [[Ilythish]] however his war machines plus the assistance of the Riftforged Orcs would prove vital in Dravak's efforts in Estacarr. | Along with Dravak, a cohort of [[Riftforged Orcs]] travelled with him which allowed Dravak to travel easily through towards his target.

In [[Estacarr]], the [[Dwarfs]] emptied their holds to take on the [[Riftforged Orcs]] and managed to push them back as Dravak in the South was gaining ground against the [[Riverguard]], until [[Ilyth'ul]] joined the battle. A great tidal wave carried Ilyth'ul with his army of [[Naiads]] alongside his glittering chariot and this arrival took the heart from the [[Abyssal Dwarfs]]. Dravak tried to fight on, however eventually [[Infernok]] snatched him up and they retreated back to this ships to safety. | |||
