Aqshy the realm of fire. Forests of forever burning or charred wood may sit overlooking lakes of magma that feed into boiling oceans whose steam could peel the skin from an unprotected traveler. Ash and brimstone may hail from the sky for months to be replaced by gentle warming rays of light and pleasantly tropical rains. Life here is hard but determined to endure, passion and progress are all that keep the mortals of Aqshy alive and hopeful of the days when they too may find a warm spot of land that won’t erupt annually
Grimnir the fearless is one of the oldest ancestor gods of the Dwarves/Duardin. He revels in battle and conquest happy to bury an axe in anything that would dare threaten his people. Dower in mood and lacking in manners Grimnir is a god of passion and honor, not so much forethought and fairness. He and his brother Grungi where found by sigmar tied to a stone in the highest cliffs of chamon, they refused to reveal why they where there but expressed gratitude by joining Sigmar’s pantheon and providing a firm axe hand to swing where it was needed, unfortunately that axe was pointed towards Vulcatrix Godbeast and mother of salamanders. Their battle shook the realms and in the final moments the two fiery beasts struck a final blow against each other. Vulcatrix fell becoming maintains and volcanoes while Grimnir burst into a shower of empower ur-gold. Dormient until his people can release enough of his energy to reform.
