History
Long ago, the spheres of our world and another colided, introducing many creatures and magics into the lands of Rathnir and Eldham, such as Skeletons, Drowned, and Phantoms. When the worlds collided, my ancestors made the Ashen Court to defend the world from these monsters. As the creatures were slowly cut down, the Ashen Knights of old fell away and went extinct. Now, the spheres collide again bringing eternal night and monsters to come with it and the need for the Ashen Court now returns...

These dwarves were then transformed to the monsters they are today.
