This Tale begins with two houses. House of Talos, known for their valor, courage and honor. House of Golrung, known for their strength, fearocity and determination. Many clans rise and fall but these two have endured. Bitter rivals for generations. They fight for their war gods each believing their god was greater than the other. And the war gods demanded blood and had no room for compromise. It was believed if the two houses continued to fight eachother the world would collapse into nothing.

Then a child was born. A son that carried the blood of both Talos and Golrung. He was an outcast to both. His name was Krom. The heart of a true warrior beated strong in his chest. But he was denied this buy both houses. And so at a young age he was exiled wander the cold Barren lands alone.

However Krom was never truly alone. He learned to survive by the animals he observed in the cold. He learned to connect with the beast and birds. He was guided by the black wolf. He was protected by the white bear. Together they lead him to the Great Mountain and to his destiny.

At the foot of the mountain there was a cave. A dark deep cave that not even beasts would dare to enter to escape the cold chill. But only Krom would enter for he believed it was his first test into becoming a man. For inside the darkness of the cave he would face his greatest fear in the mind and the body. Darkness was all he could see. Sharp edges of Rock was all he could feel. Echoes of the Dead calling out was all he could hear. In for a moment he felt that he could be drowned by his own screams for a test like this would bring most men to Madness. And yet Krom continued is journey through a cave.

After what seemed like an eternity exploring the darkness of this cave Krom found a light at the end of the tunnel. But it was not light of the sun to help greet the morning. No this light had a ding red color. The closer he approached the light showed shades of orange and yellow. The her heard the sound of something running through like a unnatural stream. The air grew thick and hot. Krom has approached the the flaming center of the mountain. The heart of the world. Filled with fire, lava and smoke.

It was hear Krom would learn the secret of forging steel. He took this as a sign of the gods. Sacrificing blood sweat and tears to create a powerful weapon. And with fire and ice Krom forged a hammer from the heart of the mountain. He took the hammer to the peak of it would be blessed by the war gods. Raising his hammer Skyward he let out a mighty roar that could heard accross the entire world. And Lightning crash through the sky and thunder rolling over hills. The Gods have blessed him. Krom once a mere man will claim his right to be King of ALL Man.

And so Krom came down from the mountain ready to make claim on his destiny. Single handedly he ended the war between the two great houses. With his hammer at his side he was unstoppable. His strikes smashed through sword and shield. It protected him from fire and arrows. And when it striked the ground the earth quaked creating havoc on his foes. He would honor the gods by crushing all that would stand in his way. The earth itself trembled at his feet.

With his strength and will Krom United all the warring Clans under his rule. He became forever known as the Iron King, Lord of all man, ruler of the Frozen Tundras of Kye, master of Steel, keeper of the great forge. Krom's rule was absolute. His throne made of volcanic metal. His castle sits on the high slopes of the great mountain so that way he can keep his watchful eye over his kingdom.

And so this will only beginning of an even greater tale told. For Krom would have a son that will grow to be a mighty warrior. And he will go to conquer far more than his father...But that is another tale.
