King Regent Pragus returned to his quarters after a long and arduous meeting with other Alliance leaders about how strange and sometimes malevolent echos of the past had been appearing across Azeroth. He’d witnessed the echos himself while patrolling outside Blackrock Mountain, Clan Battlehammer’s base of operations. It had been awhile since a possible threat like this had reared its head so close to home.
Exhausted from the diplomacy, Pragus hopped on the bed and began to drift in and out of consciousness while looking at the painting of the great King Bruenor that hung opposite of his bed on the wall. Suddenly, the painting seemed to come to life and speak to him!
Pragus! Arise! Yer kin need yeh now!
The door to Pragus’ quarter swung open with a loud thump and shook him from his dream-like state.
“Pragus! Time teh git up and git to it!” bellowed General Katrell in his trademark joyfully chiding manner. “If yeh think those meetin’s wore yeh out, wait’ll yeh hear this!”
Katrell unfurled a large map of Azeroth with an area of the ocean to the west of Pandaria and southeast of Kalimdor circled with the words Khaz Algar written in in the middle. Next to this was a drawing of what appeared at first glance to be a dwarf in Stoneform, but on closer inspection Pragus noticed a label beneath that said simply “Earthen”.
“We need to act on this immediately,” said Katrell.
Pragus nodded in affirmation as Katrell continued, “It appears th’ lore o’ th’ Earthen and Khaz Algar has now been verified first hand by our scouts. Wha’ are yer orders?”
Pragus looked towards the painting of King Bruenor again and smiled as he began to say his peace. “Prepare th’ troops teh move. It beh our responsibility teh keep th’ Horde out of the ancestral lands o’ th’ Dwarves of Azeroth and ensure the Alliance pay th’ ancient kin proper respect when entering their land… an’ by extension o’ kin… our land. Weh shall seek teh work cooperatively with th’ Earthen and even welcome them inteh our ranks if they so choose. However, if any for any misguided reason some of the Earthen choose teh work with th’ Horde, they shall die as Horde rather than as kin. So beh it!”
Katrell nodded and hurried off to begin rallying the troops. Pragus, still looking at intently at the painting of King Bruenor, suddenly stood up tall and fired off a sharp salute at the painting before exiting his quarters with haste to help with the preparations.
Clan Battlehammer of Emerald Dream (now 15 years old and still going strong) is recruiting for the War Within, including from other realms now with the xrealm guild feature! We are an all-Dwarf (including Dark Iron and Earthen kin), Alliance-only RPPVP guild that prefers WARmode on.
What We Do
Gather together once a week for our Call to Arms to head out into the world and battlegrounds to kill Horde! If you’re online, you’re expected to be in the raid group and Discord. Talking in Discord is not required but listening is. If you can make it due to IRL, that’s okay, but the more the merrer. Try your best to be present! While we are casual compared to many guilds, we still like to give our best effort and come away with wins!
Engage in light-RP together by marching together, participating in short, pre/post in-character battle speeches (interaction encouraged but not required, you can just politely listen if speaking up isn’t your thing), and shouting our battlecry “Long Live Clan Battlehammer!” as we smash the Horde! We keep /s and /y in character but this is not required in other channels like guild chat. Deeper RP welcome as well but not required. We have a few loreheads with us that can help you with any RP questions.
Fight honorably by allowing the enemy to rez and reform at appropriate times to keep the battle going rather than camping folks into the, though especially honorless Horde may not receive such kindness.
Speak honorably by keeping politics, religion, etc. out of public channels. We’re here to enjoy being Dwarves in Azeroth. Keep IRL in IRL. We also stay PG13, avoiding consistent cursing, until after hours (10 PM server).
We are NOT a PVE guild, though several members do enjoy doing PVE content with each other. Do not expect a regular raid team, but if there is interest and we can pull people together we might give it a go.
Visit our Discord and reach out to an officer when you’re ready to join!

But for real, these lads and lasses are the best! I’ve been a member for near some 14 years now.
. Who won…? Elven reports of the battle paint a different story, but the real answer is we all won, because that was the best wpvp we’ve had in a very long time.
