Ulther Stonehammer

As he lay dying in Karaz-a-Karak, King Ulfar Stonehammer of Karak Ungor sent for his son, Prince Ulther, who was leading a punitive expedition in the mountains of Karak Kadrin. Knowing that it was not the will of the Ancestors that he should live to see Karak Ungor freed from its 4,000-year occupation by the hated Orcs and Goblins, King Ulfar charged his son with the task of liberating their hold and slaughtering its occupiers to the last Snotling. King Ulfar laid one further demand on Prince Ulther: to slay any Chaos Dwarf who should cross his path. Ulfar viewed these abominations, and the Tainted Dwarfs from the northern World's Edge Mountains, as a stain upon the honour of the Dwarf race.

Taking a dragon-headed post from his father's deathbed as his standard, Prince Ulther accepted the obligations bestowed upon him. He refused to accept the title of King until he could be crowned like his ancestors in the Great Hall of Karak Ungor. King Ulfar passed on to join his Ancestors, secure in the knowledge that his son would carry on the task of liberation.

By Dwarf standards, Prince Ulther is young and impetious. He and his Dragon Company conduct a rather unorthodox campaign, hunting greenskins and Chaos Dwarfs throughout the mountains using guerrilla tactics instead of the formal battlefield operations of most Dwarf forces. Attacking by surprise wherever they can, the Dragon Company's pistols and crossbows administer a devastating first attack, sowing panic and confusion in the enemy ranks. The Dragon Company then closes to finish the job with their axes.

Most encounters with Prince Ulther and his Dragon Company will occur in the mountainous regions north of Karak Kadrin, or the nearby Imperial and Kislevite foothills. Individuals wishing to aid Prince Ulther in his quest are more than welcome, especially if they are Dwarfs. Such individuals should be warned that Prince Ulther doesn't suffer slackers or braggarts, and risks his own life as much as those of his followers. Those who fail to pull their weight are usually abandoned in the mountains without provisions.
