Dwarfen Holds ~ Karak Eksfilaz

“If ever there was a clan to jump out of the pan and into the fire, that would be ours. Tragedy struck driving us away from our ancestral home in Ekrund, and it seems that tragedy had a sense of humor when it followed us to the Vaults. Well we won’t lose this home, every last dwarf will die fighting for Karak Eksfilaz because we’re done running!”

~ Thundrin Hergarsson, Son of King Hergar Steelclad of Karak Eksfilaz

The dwarfs of Karak Eksfilaz have been fighting an uphill battle of survival for the past four millennia. The hold of Karak Eksfilaz stands today as the westernmost hold of Karaz Ankor, though given its position it looks to Karak Izor rather than Karaz-a-Karak for aid. Given the location of the hold, the dwarfs of Karak Eksfilaz must be as skilled in fighting with their words as with their axes.
