House Zultik
House Zultik was one of seven noble houses that rule in the Ice-peak Concord. Previous masters of the stronghold of Bhaghbuldar. Nowadays, the house is almost extinct, and very few survivors of the house live in various mountains city.
About two centuries ago, a member of House Zultik was captured by a powerful orc tribe during a raid, and the orcs learned of their enemy’s hidden stronghold. The orc chieftains raised a great army and marched on Bhaghbuldar. In a hard-fought siege lasting months, the orcs tunneled around the dwarven defenses. When they finally stormed the place, they put all within to the sword, then carried off wagonloads of booty.
In the years since the great battle, various creatures have occupied the stronghold and used the place as a base for their raids. At other times, the caverns have lain empty except for the mindless and bloodthirsty monsters that haunt such places. Today legends of Durgeddin’s Vengeance (or the Smith’s War) and the extraordinary blades the dwarves forged in anger still surface from time to time in the lands near Buldar.
History
Millenia ago, the great dwarf smith Durgeddin the Black and his house, House Zultik; were driven from their home by a horde of fierce orcs and trolls. They plundered the dwarves’ ancestral halls and slew all they could catch. Fleeing his enemies, Durgeddin led the destitute remnants of his house in search of a new home. After years of wandering, the dwarves discovered a great cavern system beneath the Buldar: There Durgeddin and his followers founded the stronghold of Bhaghbuldar.About two centuries ago, a member of House Zultik was captured by a powerful orc tribe during a raid, and the orcs learned of their enemy’s hidden stronghold.
