Leader of the Clans Gawara Highsteel

As a young dwarf, I remember a time of peace. However, it all changed when the Long Xae Dynasty invaded our lands. I was still a young adult when they first attacked. Understanding how we became one country instead of being divided between clans is crucial. But the truth isn't always pleasant or easy to hear. Therefore, paying attention is essential if you are to take over after me one day. You must know the history of your people.

Personal history

Gawara Highsteel was born in Nun Thoram. She was the daughter of her clan's leader and was expected to take over when the time came. During her youth, she focused on her education at Mer Kuldir. During her last year at the school, she told her parents that she did not want to take over the clan; she wanted to become a master in glasswork. Unfortunately, the war between Oblon and the Long Xae Dynasty broke out, and faith intervened.     Her parents died during the first battle in Nun Thoram, leaving her as the clan leader. Suddenly, she was put in a position of power she did not want. Gawara had to take a leadership role and try to keep the clans together during the war. But her lack of experience made it hard to rule the dwarfs, who felt they should lead the clans in the war. But Gawara proved herself and earned their respect.     When the war ended, the clans united their borders into one country. Gawara was chosen to become the first leader of the clans. A position she held for many years. Everyone remembers her as a kindhearted leader who fought for her country. When she died, her oldest daughter took over.
