Amatum Arn-Dûrmgrist

Amatum was a hero with few parallels. She was the daughter of the Underlord of the dwarven keep of Arn-Dûrmgrist (“The Hall of Steel”). She helped forge the great sword Maethor after Elf king Rith’Elohall came to her clan with the Divine Herald O’forma. The pair completed three labors before they were allowed to use the great forge of Arn-Dûrmgrist. Amatum’s father was a minor deity (old god) known as “Polwin”. Amatum was said to be conceded though and her hubris knew no bounds.

There was a poem written of her in Arn-Dûrmgrist. When translated from dwarven it reads: Of steel she knew much,

Of combat she knew more,

Of her own greatness she knew most.

Her mother the Underlord she revered,

Her father the storm and the hearth she paid homage,

Her people she resented.

Her strength is as mighty as her courage,

Her mind as sharp as her sword,

Her pride as unsavory as her [archaic curse word].

Only her manner lacked,

Oh woe is Arn-Dûrmgrist for a land without a kind king is like a sword without a pommel.
