Son of King Martok and former ruler of the Dwarven Alliance, Volstag was a prince destined for adventure. Forsaking the comforts of his northern kingdom, he embarked on a quest for glory and renown. His path intertwined with a motley crew: the cunning pirate captain Ursagor and the elusive fairy rogue Aryellas.
Together, they forged through trials by fire, most notably the brutal Ogre Wars. Their valor earned them a small hold on the border, a testament to their prowess. Yet, their adventures were far from over. The Reman Civil War beckoned, and they aligned with the forces opposing the tyrannical Asmodeus. There, Volstag's legendary strength was showcased as he felled a Frost Giant in single combat, his eyes meeting those of a young Reman soldier named Vegas Marius for the first time.
Their exploits continued, from aiding the elves against the fearsome Infernra the Red Dragon to gathering intelligence for the Dawn Alliance. Their service was rewarded with a castle, tower, and port in the idyllic Valley of Broken Dreams. Though seemingly a gift, it was a strategic move by the King of Thazia to place a formidable force on the kingdom's border.
When the inevitable invasion came, the dwarves rallied to their aid, but at a terrible cost: the life of King Martok. Grief-stricken, Volstag ascended the throne of the Dwarven Alliance. However, his reign was short-lived. A global expedition was called for, and none were better suited to lead it than the battle-hardened prince.
His absence proved a catalyst for treachery. Upon his return, Volstag found his kingdom usurped. Undeterred, he rejoined the fray at the pivotal Battle of Hammer Home, witnessing the divine intervention of the Morrigan as she aided the forces against the Lich Queen.
Driven by a thirst for justice and the reclamation of his throne, Volstag journeyed to the summit of Skrattafell. There, amidst a gathering of leaders, his life was tragically cut short by an assassin's blade, ending the epic saga of the dwarven prince.

Relationship Reasoning
The unlikely companionship between Volstag, the lawful good dwarven prince, and Ursagor, the neutral evil pirate captain, is a tale woven from threads of circumstance and character. Their journey together began unexpectedly. Over time, a peculiar dynamic emerged.
Ursagor, the cunning and ruthless pirate, found in Volstag a shield. The prince's noble bearing and unwavering adherence to the law provided a veneer of legitimacy to the pirate's exploits. Initially, this was a mere convenience, a means to an end. But as the years passed, a begrudging respect, perhaps even affection, bloomed between them.
Volstag, the idealistic prince, saw in Ursagor a troubled soul adrift. The pirate's sharp wit, unmatched skill, and undeniable charisma were tempered by a darkness that the prince believed could be illuminated. With a mix of paternal concern and unwavering faith, Volstag became Ursagor's unlikely mentor, guiding the pirate towards a less destructive path.
Their journey together has been far from smooth. Countless disagreements have erupted, their differing moral compasses clashing like ice and fire. Volstag's insistence on justice and honor often collided with Ursagor's pragmatic approach to problem-solving. Yet, through these trials, their bond has deepened, forged in the crucible of shared experiences.
It is a testament to the complexities of human (or in this case, dwarven and human) connection that such an unlikely duo could endure. Their friendship is a paradox, a living contradiction that defies explanation.
