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!
