Ragarni Ironhammer

"I'll literally fry yer ass."

Basic Info
Standing at 5'11, this dwarf seems very impressive. His whole face, despite his skin, is grey. His eyes, beard, moustache, and hair. He is almost always clad in his Mail Uniform, protecting Stormwind from all its threats. His name is Ragarni 'Thunderloins' Ironhammer, or just simply, Rag. Sheathed on his belt would be his trusty Stormhammer, and on his back, sheathed, would be his basic steel shield. On his belt would be numerous pouches, and a few small artifacts chained, which are clues to what he is: An shaman. Born and raised in Thelsamar, Ragarni was just an average Ironhammer dwarf, who eventually grew up to be part of the King's army. He met his beloved wife, Yuni, ten years before the Dark Portal opened and the First War began. She was also in the King's army, so the two were always together. He was in the Second and Third wars, however, his wife Yuni died in the Third War, being in Andorhal when it was invaded. She was brutally slaughtered, but never raised into undead. Her grave is facing Lake Carrow, engraved on it is, ''We loved her, but the Titans loved her more. ''Ragarni reached the rank Seargent by the time the Third War was over, but engulfed with grief and rage, he quit, and moved to Stormwind to enjoy a nice retirement. However, one time when he was visiting Ironforge to go to an Ironhammer Gathering, a pair of Wildhammer dwarves caught his eye. They were both shamans, visiting Ironforge. Ragarni spoke to them, and became interested in the Elements. He trained at Aerie Peak, learning the ways of the Shaman. He finally reached Farseer status, and was freed of his training. He returned to Stormwind, where he delved into more of the Element's origins and pasts. Ragarni was becoming a powerful shaman, but he rarely used his power. After getting fed up with seeing criminals running rampant on Stormwind's streets, he enlisted in the Stormwind Militia, where he is in to this day.

The Name, Given.
Ever since the Dwarves descended from the Earthen, there have been the Ironhammers. They were the first dwarves to figure out how to smelt minerals, and they eventually crafted the first dwarven weapon ever: The Iron Hammer. They got their clan name from this action, and began to grow. Before the War of the Three Hammers, they were the largest clan, rivaling the Bronzebeards, Wildhammers, and Dark Irons. It was during the War of the Three Hammers though, that they would collapse.

War of the Three Hammers
When the King of Ironforge had died, and he had noone to take his place, the clans of Ironforge fought for control of the Throne, and all of the dwarven lands. The Ironhammers were the biggest clan by the time the War started, and were conquering fast. However, an advisor to the Thane of the Ironhammers was a traitor, and fed information to the Dark Irons of the Ironhammer's plotting. This would eventually lead to the downfall of the Ironhammers, as one day, when the Thane and his advisers, and all of his family were at their stone hall, celebrating, the Dark Irons ambushed them. They struck quick, and ruthlessly. None of the Ironhammers attending the celebration survived. The Thane of the Ironhammers had always carried the first Iron Hammer ever made, named Ironfoe. This had been stolen, and given to Thaurissian. The Ironhammers then panicked, for their Thane had been killed, along with his sons, daughters, and wives. The Ironhammers were taking heavy blows from the Dark Irons, and were almost wiped out. It was only thanks to the Bronzebears that any of them survived. The Bronzebeards eventually drove out the Wildhammers and Dark Irons, saving the Ironhammers. For their assistance of helping the Bronzebeards, the Ironhammers were granted to stay in Ironforge with the Bronzbeards. When the Dark Irons began attacking Ironforge and the Wildhammers, the Ironhammers had grown, and struck back with the fury of the mountain. The war was eventually over, with the Wildhammers, Bronzebeards, and Ironhammers driving back the Dark Irons into Blackrock. Finally, peace within the clans. For now.
