Bloody Gate was recently assaulted by mercenary forces as well as what people have been describing as a very powerful mage wielding fire. The staunch dwarves, aided by a group of adventurers were able to defend the fort and push back the attacking force.
One of the most respected defenders of Bloody Gate, Uric Hammerfist, has been said to have spoken about being honored to have given his axe, Foe Render, to the Champion of Vorax in efforts to defeat an ancient enemy. He has vowed that should he be needed, he will offer his life and skill to the final mission to bring down the Destroyer's threat if needed.
