THE STORY
When his father dies, Barundin, prince of Zhufbar, becomes king of that realm and lord of one of the mightiest outposts of the ancient and powerful dwarf empire. Over the centuries that follow, he sets out to fulfil ancient grudges, right the wrongs done to his people, and bring death to his foes as he wages war against his father's killers and strives to protect Zhufbar from the dark forces of Chaos.
