History

It was he who stayed behind to protect the great Chainway while the last of the refugees from Halpi Mountains made their escape. Leading the defenders and holding off countless hordes of foul Abyssals and Fallen Ones, Lord Sveri bought his people the days they needed to fully cross the water to safety.

Finally, reluctantly, Sveri himself left the shores of his homelands, swearing an oath to his people to return and reclaim their rightful domain.

The Retaking of Cwl Gen

main article: The Retaking of Cwl Gen


In 3865, he started a campign to retake Cwl Gen based off a plan put forward by Banick Kholearm after 10 frustrating years of waiting for their Imperial Dwarf cousins to provide resources to take back what they had lost.

The plan was for Banick to take a small team and dig three tunnels under the eastern part of Cwl Gen's wall and set explosives which once denonated would cause it to collapse, leaving an opening. Meanwhile, Lord Sveri's war machines create a distraction on the west side of Cwl Gen. Once a an opening has been made Beserker Brock riders would charge through with cover provided by Herneas and his rangers followed by the stone priests and their Earth Elementals.

Charging into Cwl Gen

main article: Pride of a King


As Lord Sveri sat anixiously on Hellbrock after his war machines start firing on the west side of Cwl Gen, made even worse due to his bloodline's infliction of the Red Curse. Grodgni, a stone priest, advsied he had recieved a stone message from Cwythn. As Grodgni was explaining his interpretation of the images an explosion was heard, startling him to the point he bit his lip open. Two more explosions were heard and the Lord Sveri along with his Brock riding Berserkers charged the newly expose section of Cwl Gen.

Lord Sveri with his Berserker Brock Riders raced past a semi-concious Banick Kholearm and forward into the goblins who were now preparing to hold off the incoming Free Dwarfs. With the Red Curse taking hold and calling out his ancestors names to keep from losing all control. Lord Sveri easily slashed through goblin after goblin and, soon realised how close to battlements their attack had led them.

In a brief moment of clarity, Lord Sveri noticed sounds of fighting coming from behind him. Goblins riding Fleabags were attacking his flank of his Beserker Riders. Not knowing where they came from, he turned and charged towards the attacking force.

First Edition Biography


For a thousand years the stronghold of Cwl Gen has been ruled by a line of Berserker Lords afflicted by the ‘Red Curse’ that can turn them at the slightest provocation from proud Dwarf nobles to slavering, bloodthirsty maniacs. Cwl Gen’s current ruler is Sveri Egilax, renowned throughout Dwarfdom and beyond as one of the most dangerous warlords known to history, and infamous for his random outbursts of monumental rage.

Needless to say, Cwl Gen attracts unhinged Dwarfs from across Mantica, and the brawls that occur at the regular feasts hosted by Sveri are legendary in the scale of their destruction – his drinking hall has had to be rebuilt many times following such bouts of mindless violence. The histories of Cwl Gen tell how a thousand years ago the first Lord of Cwl Gen succumbed to the Red Curse following his betrayal by his chief warsmith Arhak, and his subsequent defeat by an invading Abyssal Dwarf warhost. Since that time, Arhak has risen to become supreme Iron-Caster among the Abyssal Dwarfs, and each Berserker Lord of Cwl Gen is sworn to avenge his ancestor’s disgrace. It is said that the Red Curse will be lifted by the lord who will sever Arhak’s miserable head from his shoulders.
