Biography
Family's Longevity
As the centuries passed, the dwarves saw a decline in their longevity, with the passing of time taking its toll on even the hardiest of their kind. However, the House of Flinda Dinggǎ proved to be an exception to this trend, thanks to their practice of intermarriage within their family. This allowed the magic of Valikar to remain relatively undiluted, resulting in a slower reduction of their longevity. High-Queen Klǎpwǐ Flinda Dinggǎ was the product of such a union, her parents being aunt and nephew. Her mother was the sister of her father's father, both of whom were original dwarves known as Dwarves of Valikar. They possessed the original longevity of men, but also the additional longevity that came with the magic of Valikar. Thus, Klǎpwǐ Flinda Dinggǎ inherited the traits of her ancestors, and remained blessed with a longer life span than most of her dwarven kin.Founding of The Kingdom of Dorvathar
As the evening sky darkened and rain poured down in sheets, Klǎpwǐ soared above the tempestuous sea. Her wings beat powerfully against the gusts that threatened to knock her off course. She flew over the lands of the elves, where ancient forests stretched out beneath her like a sea of green. The elves were but primitive peoples then, yet Klǎpwǐ respected them nonetheless. Continuing over the Lake of Still Water, Klǎpwǐ approached the imposing gates of Ki Linsi Grama fi Dizi Gove. These gates were guarded by the Dwarven Lord of Bloste Grami, who watched her approach with a wary eye. With a fierce determination burning in her heart, Klǎpwǐ soared over the gates and across the foothills of Munla. The storm raged on, but she pushed forward, undeterred by the fierce winds and pouring rain. At last, Klǎpwǐ reached a dense forest, where she saw an opportunity to create a new home for her people. Using her Kattu aka, she set the forest ablaze, unleashing a tempest of fire that lit up the sky like a thousand stars. As the flames consumed the forest, Klǎpwǐ revealed the mountains that lay hidden beneath the trees. These peaks would later be known as Tura'Kedarin, a symbol of the power and determination of the fearless Klǎpwǐ. At the foot of Tura'Kedarin, Klǎpwǐ founded the Fortress of the Catcher (Tumnad Kedara), the village of Karnadur (Stone Town), and her Capital fortress of Dorvathar (Mountain Realm). Her people followed her by sea and land, braving the stormy waters to reach the new land. With a heart full of hope, Klǎpwǐ watched as her people slowly but surely made their way to this new home. Despite the storm that had threatened to consume her, Klǎpwǐ had triumphed, carving out a new life for her people in the midst of the untamed wilderness.The Second War of Elven Aggression
In the annals of history, it is said that High-Queen Gipiu Nefe viewed the dwarves as a threat to the delicate balance of power in the realm. Masters of the Elder Seed, the dwarves had grown too powerful behind their mountain ranges and stone walls. This posed a grave threat to the elves, whose ability to undertake trade in return for raw materials was being undermined. Desperate to maintain the elves' position in the realm, High-Queen Gipiu Nefe saw no other option but to launch a full-scale invasion of the dwarven lands. The great wall structure of Ki Linsi Grama fi Dizi Gove, and the mountain ranges of Hagle Blorsa, had long limited the elves' ability to penetrate the dwarven defenses. However, the elves did have access to Qi Fastafwe Pakha, a narrow pass that passed through the mountains. With a force of 20,000 elves, High-Queen Gipiu Nefe personally led her army into the dwarven lands. Her hope was that the numbers would be sufficient to overcome the dwarven resistance, and secure the elves' position in the realm. Little did she know that her actions would set in motion a chain of events that would alter the course of history forever. For a century, the elves remained hidden from the dwarves' watchful eye, constructing underground tunnels in the Ngova fi Dinta. These tunnels allowed the elves to establish the settlements of Dirth and the Castle of Veer, right under the dwarves' noses. It was not until 110 years after their invasion that the dwarves discovered the elven presence, leading to the first battle of the conflict - a siege of Dirth and the Castle of Veer that involved 40,000 dwarves. Initially, High-Queen Klǎpwǐ Flinda Dinggǎ exercised patience in dealing with the conflict. However, as the conflict dragged on for nearly twelve years, Klǎpwǐ Flinda Dinggǎ grew increasingly impatient. She sent conditions of peace to High-Queen Gipiu Nefe, but her efforts were met with rejection. High-Queen Gipiu Nefe refused to accept any terms that would allow the dwarves to continue mass agricultural cultivation. Losing all patience, in the year 2599AM, Klǎpwǐ Flinda Dinggǎ ordered the withdrawal of all 40,000 of her troops. She then mounted her dragon, Katatu aka, and flew over Dirth and Castle Veer. With a fierce determination burning in her heart, she released a wall of flame from her dragon, engulfing the structures and turning the stone walls into an oven. As Klǎpwǐ Flinda Dinggǎ turned to fly back to Kekta Bandu, she spotted the royal standard of High-Queen Gipiu Nefe flying atop the tower of Castle Veer. It was then that she realized that she had inadvertently killed the Elven High-Queen, and ended the war. Yet, this act would begin a sequence of events that would lead to her own downfall. The loss of the Elven High-Queen, who was beloved by her people, would trigger a chain reaction of events that would ultimately lead to Klǎpwǐ Flinda Dinggǎ's downfall.Trial
High-Queen Klǎpwǐ Flinda Dinggǎ was summoned to the Acropolis by the King of Men, King Hal Haab. The charges were using a dragon (Katatu aka) to execute a fellow High-Queen, Gipiu Nefe. The High-Queen stated she did not know that the Queen had been in the castle, had she known, she would not have destroyed it with Katatu aka. Recognising her honesty, High-Queen Klǎpwǐ Flinda Dinggǎ was sentenced to death, with her crown to pass to her daughter, Muzovwigǎ Ngoti Flinda Dinggǎ. Additionally, it was mandated that dragons may not be used in war as they present the aggressors with the ability to annihilate another. This edict would be enforced by King Hal Haab and his descendants until the end of time.Execution
As a message to all royalty among all races, Dwarven High-Queen Klǎpwǐ Flinda Dinggǎ was executed at the Acropolis by Prince Hedfa Haab in the presence of many monarchs, including the High-Queen's daughter and heir, Princess Muzovwigǎ Ngoti Flinda Dinggǎ. The execution was conducted using the Blood Magic Technique, draining the High-Queen of her life-force, but leaving her body untouched. Her life-force was gifted to her daughter as compensation for loss. Little did they know that would be a decision they would regret.Relationships
