This is by far the smallest and most unusual of the three Legacies. Legend holds that in around the year of 225, Drogan Steelarm, the night before a big battle after much consumption of a heavy stout ale was visited by Vorax while passed out under a bar room table. Vorax spoke to him, bidding him to lay down his weapons and to instead rely upon the greatest weapon that is gifted to all dwarves, their body. | |||
The following morning, Drogan left behind his great axe and instead took to the field of battle armed only with the will of Vorax. Much blood was spilled and in the end Drogan had found the true meaning of battle, facing an enemy as Vorax must always have intended, in brute unarmed combat. | The following morning, Drogan left behind his great axe and instead took to the field of battle armed only with the will of Vorax.
