Hrun Stonelord

Hrun Stonelord is a Demon of a benevolent nature, who takes the form of a dwarf. He was the founder of the Dwarven Empire. His main foe, Vaydesh, was slain in the year 1120.

Creation
Hrun was among the first demons formed, and played a significant part in the shaping of the world. At creation, when power was freely available, he took the form of a great giant made of stone, and is said toi have raised the mountains along the spine of the Western continent.

The Dark Ages
Hrun dwelt in the mountains he supposedly created, which soon became home to the Dwarves. He took on a less fearsome form, sized and shaped like a dwarf, but still made of stone and crystal. It is said that he taught dwarves to dig then, before the other races had risen much beyond base sentience, shaping their civilization to come. He recieved the title The Stonelord.

The Heroic Age
Hrun watched the Dwarves grow with pride, and watched them spread.

He first met Vaydesh now, as the growing strength of mortals sent him in search of easier prey. The Stonelord faced the dragon in a great battle, which ended in a stalemate with both parties severely weakened and the city of Erydare destroyed.. This cause the great emnity between dwarves and dragons, and caused Hrun to adopt a simpler form, of a normal dwarf.

The Golden Age
Hrun was now dismissed as a legend, and lived as a mortal, travelling between the cities of dwarves.

Seeing the Dwarves begin to slow in progress with the newfound peace, Hrun took initiative once again. He forged an agreement between the settlements of dwarves, unifying them in a great empire, with him at it's helm in Bastion. which he founded as the capital. The nomadic tribes were more reluctant to follow, until one of their elders began to support the empire, at which point they joined.

Many began to suspect Hrun Stonelord of his true nature, due to his longevity.

The Recession
Vaydesh moved into the ruins of a temple to Ranog near Bastion, causing great worry for Hrun. He eventually went to slay the dragon-demon with a group of adventurers, and succeeded, in the year 1120. However, he realised the threat that malevolent demons posed, and retired his kingship, to hunt down others that seeked to cause harm.
