Battlecry: A dragon! A Dragon!

Deeds: King Ulther son of Ulfar of Karak-Ungor settledquickly into the responsibilities of command, despite the doubtsexpressed openly by some of his father’s retainers. The DragonCompany’s most notable exploit was the raising of the siege of Karak-Gromni, when half the attacking Goblins turned to flight onhearing the Company’s battle-cry. Historians are divided over whether this was due to the Dragon Company’s fearsome reputation, or whether they thought a real dragon was coming.

King Ulfar Stonehammer of Karak-Ungor lay dying. Relatives and retainers were gathered round his bed with its four dragon-toppedposts, chewing their beards in grief. Where is my son? croaked theking, Let him come to me. A servant slipped out of the royalbedchamber and hurried to the Prince’s apartments. After a fewminutes, Prince Ulther son of Ulfar entered the chamber, whistlingcheerfully. Hello, father, he said, Still here, then? Well, that’snice, gasped the king, What about a bit of grief? The Princescratched his beard. Of course I’ll miss you and all that, he said,But then, I am going to be king when you’ve hung up your hammer.Willmixed feelings do? The king raised his dimming eyes to the ceiling.Come closer, he wheezed, There are some things I must tell you before I die. The Prince approached the four-poster hopefully, as did thecourt scribe, quill in hand. My son, croaked the king, I leave youthe rulership of Karak-Ungor - there was an uncomfortable shuffling among the king’s retainers at this point - And I leave you mywar-axe, with the dragon-etched blade... Not the hammer? Interrupted the Prince, a little peevishly. Watch it or you won’t get the axe.Sorry. That’s better. And along with the axe, I leave you a duty.Years ago, I swore that I would never rest until the blight of Chaos was cut out from our race, and the Chaos Dwarfs were no more. I passthat oath on to you. I also pass on to you my oath to exterminate theGoblins and their foul kin. You shall form a warband from the very cream of our race, and take it out to destroy these two enemies. Youshall not rest until you have completed your task, nor shall youreturn to Karak-Ungor, which will be ruled in your absence by myChancellor, Gorm the Wise... The king was interrupted at this point by a collective sigh from hes retainers, some of whom openly startedshaking hands. They were quelled by a stern glance fom the king, whocarried on with his death-speech as the scribe wrote furiously. Take for your standard a dragon-carved post from your father’s deathbed...
 

CRRRAACK!!!
 

Not now! spluttered the king, from beneath the fallen canopy ofhis bed, Oh, what’s the use? And with that, he died.
