Garbold Talhrik
Garbold Talhrik, sometimes spelled Garbold Talhirk, was son of King Talhrik the Industrious, the last dwarven Great King of Tar Khadurrm. Upon his father's death in 4277 AR, Garbold was crowned as king, but only after much infighting and passionate negotiation.1234
Ordrik Talhrik was King Garbold Talhrik's cousin and closest advisor but also a cleric of Droskar. He was controlling his cousin with addictive substances and making him to cede more and more power to the priests of Droskar. Ordrik murdered his cousin and seized the throne of the Five Kings Mountains kingdom of Tar Khadurrm2 in 4369 AR and attempted to create a theocracy. The resulting Forge War raged for 13 years. Generals loyal to the true crown fought to keep their kingdom but they failed and in 4382 AR, Ordrik declared himself theocrat and ordered all dwarves to work in Droskar's name.1234
