=== Pre-3849 ===

{{Trialoftyrannylogo}}After High King [[Golloch the Conqueror|Golloch]], [[Ariandaris]], the Elf King of Therennia Adar, and [[Ballazar]], current Hegemon of Basilea, had met to discuss the rising threat of [[Mortibris]], High King Golloch sent Rordin to join other heroes selected by the council which included [[Danor]], [[Madriga Starrekin]] and [[Orlaf Skull-Splitter]]. They were tasked in stopping [[Mortibris]] within the ruins of [[Dolgarth]].

Rordin, [[Danor]], [[Madriga Starrekin]] and [[Orlaf Skull-Splitter]] leave the ruins after obtaining the map and find [[Ranvus|Master Ranvus]] waiting for them closeby with some caravans and horses standing idle. He mentions a [[Dungeon Saga: The Warlord of Galahir|Warlord in Galahir]] and the [[Forces of the Abyss|Abyssals of the Abyss]]. He wishes them luck in taking on Mortibris.

{{Glimmerofgreedlogo}}While resting after their recent journey to obtain the [[Map of Dolgarth]], Rordin, [[Danor]], [[Madriga Starrekin]] and [[Orlaf Skull-Splitter]] were drinking at a tavern and had run out of coin to refill their [[Honeymead]]. They were then approached by [[Ranvus|Master Ranvus]] to stop a goblin [[biggit]] [[Bruko Grimshank]] who was attempting to find a legendary sword called [[Glimmerdrake]]. It was an ancient sword which was once weald by [[Furhyn|Furhyn the Fearless]] to slay the black dragon [[Bennakor]], which led to the creation of one of the most early and prosperous Dwarf realms which was later drowned at the end of [[Winter's War]] and left in ruin.  

Rumour's out of [[Valentica]] said that Bruko had taken over an old fortress in the [[Dragon Teeth Mountains]] and had been terrorising the local population. It was said this goal was to make a second, northern capital city which would mirror the current goblin capital to the south, [[Glimmer]]. Rordin, Danor, Madriga and Orlaf Skull-Splitter agreed to the quest and journeyed towards the rumoured location.

Once the dust settles, the heroes see the mawbeast pup, with the Glimmerdrake hilt in its mouth, run out of the falling down masonry and down the hillside into the scrub and brush. Master Ranvus reveals himself as the heroes watched the mawbeast pup run from view. The heroes hand over the rest of the Glimmerdrake to Master Ranvus and Master Ranvus accepts no one will be able to reforge it due to the Mawbeast pup running away with the hilt. He invites the heroes to journey to [[Valentica]] and to tell him the tale of Bruko and his chance glimmer of greed.

{{Daughtersofdoomlogo}}A short while later, Rordin, [[Danor]], [[Madriga Starrekin]] and [[Orlaf Skull-Splitter]] were summoned by [[Ranvus|Master Ranvus]] to an unspecified location. He soon arrived with two others, [[Dyrra]] of [[Lantor]] and [[Marrub Ib Allesh]] of [[Ophidia]]. Dyrra and Marrub lb Allesh were working jointly in order to recover two tombs, [[Vannifer]] and [[Vannitash]], which had been stolen by a group of [[Abyssal Dwarfs]] led by [[Ahmazud Doomfyre]]. If they do not, the armies of Lantor and Ophidia will land in [[Basilean Hegemony|Northern Basilea]] which is against the wishes of the [[Basileans]] which might lead to war.

The heroes transported the caskets to [[Zantaporte]] to be taken back to their final resting place with [[Vannifer]] to go back to [[Lantor]] and [[Vannitash]] to [[Ophidia]]. [[Ranvus|Master Ranvus]] met the heroes at the Port of Zantaporte, congratulating them on their completed task and advising of [[Beregar|Lord Beregar]] recovery, who was also helping with the logistics of the transportation of Vannifer and Vannitash. He then asked the heroes if they have ever sailed to [[Dyryth]]

{{Mirrorsofmalicelogo}}Rordin, [[Danor]], [[Madriga Starrekin]] and [[Orlaf Skull-Splitter]] travelled on a [[Abbess-class]] ship over the [[Low Sea of Suan]] then passed the [[Golden Horn|City of Golden Horn]]. [[Ranvus|Master Ranvus]] then advised the heroes that a messager had arrived overnight from the [[Wizard's Order]] and the [[Universities of Magic]] reporting that it had been six months since a favoured member of the Wizard's Order, [[Alysantor|Alysantor the Mage]], had gone mysteriously quiet. She had been a regular at the [[Euhedral Library]] in [[Solistor]] and lives south of the library. There were concerns before she went missing that she was dabbling in arcane magic that was of a more darker nature.

The group left the tower and once again encountered [[Ranvus|Master Ranvus]] once they got to the large entrance gate of the tower. He once again congratulated the group in stopping the Twilight Kin's attempt to access the void and the defeat of Yzariel, suggesting for the group to rest before taking the ship back to confront [[Mortibris]].

{{Darknessunderdyrlogo}}Rordin, [[Danor]], [[Madriga Starrekin]], [[Orlaf Skull-Splitter]] and [[Ranvus|Master Ranvus]] were prepared to leave the shores of [[Dyryth]] and begin the task to take on [[Mortibris]]. On their way to the ship, there was a loud rumbling and part of the [[Grand Tower of Alysantor]] fell into a gaping hole in the ground that had opened up. The ground the heroes were standing on lurched up and they lost of sight of Master Ranvus and the rest of the ships crew who were preparing for the trip back. The heroes fell into the hole along with part of the tower and after the dust settled, they managed to hear Master Ranvus indicated he had survived.

A lengthy battle took place and the group worked together to defeat Kallagyth, they forced him into the light which gained them the upperhand however they missed their opportunity due to being blinded by the light reflecting off his Djet armour. As this happened, [[Luko|Luko the Owl]] reappeared and knocked his helmet off, exposing his twisted face and the rays of Celestial light blazed into white flame, killing Kallagyth. The light faded away along with Luko, with his final purpose complete. The heroes finally manage to find the stairs which lead them into the back streets of the City of Dyr. [[Ranvus|Master Ranvus]] met them soon after, advising the journey home and preparations against [[Mortibris]] can finally begin.

{{Dwarfkingsquest}}After Rordin, [[Danor]], [[Madriga Starrekin]], and [[Orlaf Skull-Splitter]] returned they were ordered by High King [[Golloch the Conqueror|Golloch]] into Dolgarth and stop [[Mortibris]]. Rordin and Orlaf entered Dolgarth from the east while Danor and Madriga entered from the west. Rordin and Orlaf battled through Mortibris' Undead minions and eventually met up with Madriga and Danor within Dolgarth.  

Finally the group come across [[Mortibris]] and the last of his forces, after a lengthly battle they defeat the undead forces and [[Danor]] was able to obtain the [[Tome of Valandor]], however after the chaos settled they noticed that Mortibris had escaped. Rordin would go on to reclaim Dolgarth.

Rordin knew he couldn't keep the [[Runic Breastplate]] as it had belonged to a famed Dwarf hero, [[Makkin]], and the noble family to which he had belonged deserved to know his fate and the he same was true for [[Forgebreaker]]. The act of returning these items caused Rordin to elevate to even greater heights than his battles against [[Mortibris]]. In the end he had actually been given Forgebreaker to keep as he was seen as a hero himself.

{{Returnofvalandor}}Ur-Elohi [[Jullius]] and [[Samacris]] advised the [[Council of Pannithor]] of [[Mortibris]] survival and the continued threat he posed. They also advised about [[Valandor the Great|Valandor's]] true identity being a [[Shining Ones|Shining One]] and that Rordin, [[Danor]], [[Madriga Starrekin]], and [[Orlaf Skull-Splitter]] must reform as a group and find artefact in which the contained the last essence of Valandor, in hopes it can be freed and fight along side the group against Mortibris and [[Ba'el]] (which Mortibris was attempting to summon). The group agreed to help and enter the ruins of [[Du’Lan Var|Du’Lan Var.]]

Eventually the Spirit of Valandor and Ba'el faced off, ending with Valandor seemingly the victor however the mortal shell of Valandor fell to the ground spent. With Ba'el defeated, the group continued on to face [[Mortibris]]. The group confronted Mortibris after taking on the last of his undead forces and as the final blow against Mortibris was inflicted, his body turned to ash and disolved. Believe the threat to be defeated, they group left Dul'Lan Var and advised the council on the outcome, unaware of Mortibris and Ba'el's survival.

Under the leadership of the hero Rordin, the Dwarfs continued to repair the hold of [[Dolgarth]] - close to [[Basilean Hegemony|Basilea]]. After Rordin’s successful expedition to the ruins of the dwarven capital of [[Dolgarth]], [[Golloch the Conqueror|Golloch]] had tasked him with the reclamation of the ancient hold.
