Ruuk'K'K'u, Despiser of Wing'ed Things

Back to Great War Men

Great Axe-Thrower Leaderchief Ruuk'K'K'u, Despiser of Wing'ed Things

Also See: Higgerath. Siege of Arkleaf.

Ruuk'K'K'u developed his peculiar aversion to all thing avian following his traumatic abduction as a young War Man. His people would occasionally surface from the Savage Barrenlands to attack the overlanders and it was during one of these raid that a Fearsome Dragon swooped down and plucked him whole from the battlefield. Specifics are, well, fairly unspecific but somehow young Ruuk'K'K'u escaped the dragon and was reunited with his family smelling vaguely of charred scales and with his eyebrows singed clean off.

Dragonscale the Despiser

A trophy from his skirmish as a youngster, Ruuk'K'K'u fashioned the scale into a formidable throwing weapon. Perhaps due to the traditions of his people, this involved a suspiciously axe-shaped weapon gilded and reinforced with steel and bone. It is unknown whether it is enchanted or whether Ruuk'K'K'u is merely lucky, but despite hurling it at a countless number of flying abominations it somehow always returns to his possession.

The Axe-Throwers Clan

His unique method of waging war coupled with his almost psychotic hatred of Wing'ed Things quickly brought about Ruuk'K'K'u's ostracizing from the wandering band of War Men to which he belonged. Recognising that he would never be happy among any of the established clans he began to wander the Barrenlands, slowly gathering to his side any War Man who demonstrated an aptitude for accurate pitching.

Over time he gathered together a sizeable enough band for it to come to the attention of the Three Generals of the War Men. Having little in the way of ballistic offensive or defensive capabilities they decided that it was a Kuluk'hab'Hiki'Onk'pa or "Jolly Spiffing Idea*" and officially recognised the Axe-Throwers as an Official Clan of the War Men, entitling them to throw parties inviting their official representative, for which there was much rejoicing among the members of the newly recognised clan.

Exploits

  • Gets himself attacked by a Dragon in the middle of a Battle
  • Somehow frees himself from its clutches, much to the surprise of everyone involved
  • Acts peculiar following this experience, hurling rocks, sticks and the occasional axe at anything with wings
  • His home band of War Men cannot comprehend his actions and force him out
  • Spends time wandering the Barrenlands
  • Crafts Dragonscale the Despiser during this time
  • 17,929 - His ragtag band of crazed, projectile hurling War Men gain recognition as the Axe-Throwers Clan
  • In the same year the newly formed clan hosts its first Official Clan Party inviting the High Drunkenkiller Great Warchief T'kK'iT
  • Following the events of the party, some jokingly refer to the clan as the projectile vomiting Axe-Throwers clan
  • Following that event, various stains are wiped clean; from furniture, weaponry and reputations and some new ones are created, this time in blood
  • 17,930 - The Three Generals decide to test their new capabilities and the clan is duly summoned to the Siege of the City With God Damned Impenetrable Walls

* The literal translation is marginally less formal than this.
