Icereach[]
Sometime prior to the summer of 553 PC, Dimorian Fallabrine and his ship Silvanos Oak travelled to Icereach. Grimwar attacked the ship and defeated the elves. He took Silvanos Oak as his trophy and renamed it to Goldwing and made this his flagship. Baldruk Dinmaker became Grimwar's tutor on things, and the rest of the crew was enslaved. Dimorian was sent to Dracoheim to there help with some technology advances.
By the summer of 553 PC, Grimwar was out raiding human settlements to bring back slaves for Winterheim. One village they raided, Bayguard, he enslaved, dispersed, or killed every human there and taking their Black Bear Skin as his trophy. He would be at odds with a woman named Moreen Bayguard, before she then restored a human stronghold in Brackenrock. Grimwar came at odds with his father whom he viewed as weak, and he challenged him for the title of king. Grimwar used the Barkon Sword against his father with the Axe of Gonnas and defeated him when he knocked the axe out of his father's hand and then used it to kill him.
In 545 PC, backed by multiple ships and soldiers along with the Golden Orb Grimwar launches his invasion of Brackenrock. They started making headway, but Kerrick Fallabrine and Grimwar got into a fight, and through the use of magic enhanced abilities, Kerrick gravely injured Grimwar. Grimwar missed it as the Arktos changed the catapult to launch the Golden Orb at Hornet which was vaporized. Stariz healed Grimwar by the power of Gonnas the Strong.
After the destruction at Dracoheim, Grimwar returned Winterheim and took his father's second wife, Thraid Dimmarkull, as his royal mistress. Her pet nickname for him was Grimwie. The humans, meanwhile, form a plan to attack the ogre stronghold. The ogres give a valiant defense, but the humans prevail in freeing the slaves and overthrowing the ogres. Grimwar calls for peace between humans and ogres in Icereach, and the two sides join together to form the Kingdom of Icereach.
During the fighting, both his wife and his mistress were killed. He finds a particularly large human named Bruni attractive, and together the two of them marry to seal the peace. Grimwar would go on to serve as king for the next one hundred years, and then one of his half-ogre sons would become the next king.
