The dwarves of Tir-Nâ-Bor are
a robust people; they are proud
and tenacious. Th ey have been
living at the heart of the Ægis
range since time immemorial. For
centuries they have avoided other
peoples, refusing to take part in
the treacherous game of alliances.
Yet the Rag’narok caught up with
the dwarves of Tir-Nâ-Bor when
the enemy invaded their precious
mountains. Although this battle
might be lost, the dwarves know
that the war is not over yet. As
stubborn as ever, the dwarves of
Tir-Nâ-Bor have immediately set
out to take back the Ægis and the
surrounding plains, supported by
their Akkylannian allies.

On the battlefield the dwarves of Tir-Nâ-Bor
are making steady progress; their advance is
inexorable. Protected by their thick armor,
they fight amidst the whistling of their powerful
steam machines. Their dreaded steam cannons shell the
enemy. Their boilers propel their mechanized mounts at unbelievable
speeds. Their steam weapons strike with the force
of an erupting volcano. Their terrifying steam masks freeze
the enemy in fear… The dwarves of Tir-Nâ-Bor are keen connoisseurs
of anything that smokes, whistles and boiler powered
!
To a dwarf of Tir-Nâ-Bor defense is more important than
attack: there is nothing better than a solid fortifi cation to win
a battle. Locked up in their impregnable fortresses, the people
of Tir-Nâ-Bor await the enemy on their own ground!
Each fortress has its own secular traditions and its military
specialties. Fom-Nur, Kâ-In-Ar, Kal-Nam, Kar-An-
Tyr, Lor-An-Kor, Naël-Tarn and are as many fortresses and factions. Naturally,
to its inhabitants each fortress clearly superior to the others.
Dwarves worship Odnir and his
pantheon, whose domain is located
in the constellation of the
Boar.

== History == 

Th e history of the nation of
Tir-Nâ-Bor begins with the Winter
of Battles. Only the dwarves
had taken measures to stock food
stuff . Th us, they did not suff er shortage. But their famished neighbors
attacked them relentlessly as they dwarven granaries greedily.
Th e famine was taking its toll across the land. Th e
children of the gods, the giants, were dying. Th e gods came to
the dwarves off ering a deal: they were inviting them to settle in
the gods’ domain of the Ægis, where they would be safe from the
greed of other peoples. In exchange the dwarves were to feed the
giants and ensure their survival. Th e dwarves gladly accepted.
Tir-Nâ-Bor – the Land of the Pact in their tongue – was born.
In their sheltered domain, the dwarves discovered the art
of the forge and, later, the wonders of steam. For a time, they
even harbored the off spring of a marginal civilization, goblins.
But the latter revolted and ran away in a demonstration of
gross ingratitude, leaving only the dwarves and the giants of
Tir-Nâ-Bor who kept developing peacefully…until the appearance
of the demons of the Abyss. Th ese creatures, neither dead
nor alive, invaded the depths of the Ægis. Despite centuries of
war, the dwarves of Tir-Nâ-Bor never managed to defeat them
completely.
However, as the Rag’narok dawned, the most powerful heroes
of Tir-Nâ-Bor decided to put an end to all this. Th ey bravely
cast all their forces into the battle and ventured deep into the
caverns controlled by their foe. Th ey eventually scored a major
victory, but it cost them dearly: another people, the Syhar, took
the opportunity to attack the fortresses of Tir-Nâ-Bor as they
stood defenseless. Several of these fortresses have fallen into
the hands of the aggressor. But the people of Tir-Nâ-Bor are
obstinate by nature. With the help of the Akkylannians, their
historical allies, the dwarves, elves, humans and the giants of
Tir-Nâ-Bor have stopped the Syhars’s advance and have begun
taking back their homes.
Nowadays, the people of Tir-Nâ-Bor are allied to the Ways
of Light.

== Ragn'arok ==

According to the dwarves of Tir-Nâ-Bor, the energies radiated
by the gods of the Ægis are supposed to spread at a steady
pulse. Today the Argg-Am-Ork – the Ragn'arok
in their tongue – has upset this
rhythm. Th e whole of Creation trembles
and convulses as a new era approaches.
Th anks to the pact established
with the gods of the Ægis, the
people of Tir-Nâ-Bor are particularly
aware of this. Th ey know
that only the strongest and best
prepared nations will survive
the fi nal battle.However, the Argg-Am-Ork has
begun under ill omens: some of the
most powerful dwarven fortresses
have fallen in the early battles. But fortunately, a battle is not a
war. Dwarven character was forged
from the purest of steels. Th ey withstand
the blows of fortune without
uttering a single complaint! While
the winds of fate are blowing against
them the dwarves are more determined
than ever to survive. To them
it is as much a challenge to their
faith as it is a vital necessity. If they
ever give up, the dwarves of Tir-Nâ-
Bor will have shown unworthy of
the pact made with the gods: they
would no longer be the dwarves who
survived the Winter of Battles.
Supported by the Akkylannians,
the people of Tir-Nâ-Bor are already
fi ghting back. Nothing can break
the will of a dwarf of Tir-Nâ-Bor, not
even the Argg-Am-Ork!

== Army ==

Th e army of the defenders
of Tir-Nâ-Bor is not suited
for sudden breakthroughs
or lightning raids. However,
it excels in the methodical
occupation of ground. Once
in place, units of dwarves
of Tir-Nâ-Bor can only be
driven out by the most brutal
and determined enemies.
Th e Boar army’s strategy
relies on the careful use of
the exact amount of force
required. With great tactical
fi nesse, the dwarves of
Tir-Nâ-Bor like to hit hard
where they are sure it hurts
most. When the Boar army
steps into battle order, only a fl agrant twist of fate can deprive
them of victory. Th e generals of Tir-Nâ-Bor prepare their battle
plans carefully, to make sure each unit is exactly where it
should be.
Th e dwarves refuse to rely on sheer numbers; they would
rather crush the enemy using their technological superiority.
Th ey trust only steam machines. Th eir war chariots come
thundering across the battlefi eld blasting their oversized guns.
Th e Khor riders on their steam-powered razorbacks are sent
out on stampedes, while the bombardiers, fi ring their portable
artillery pieces, shake the earth with huge explosive shells. Th e
other dwarven fi ghters are certainly not forgotten: gauntlets,
hammers, masks, armor; anything can be mechanized. Using
steam, the dwarves have at their disposal weapons worthy of
their temperament: explosive!
