Bor Coaldust

Bor's Fall

Southeast of Frosthold lies Bor's Breath Valley, a mountainous region split by a frozen river, cascading into a series of everfrost waterfalls. The area is inhospitable, and under frequent siege from harpies and valkyries alike, to say nothing of the occasional venture of protodrakes. However the mountains are rich in ore, and the region an important buffer between Dalaran and Frosthold's various threats. Thane Bor Coaldust and the Coaldust clan hail from here, welcoming any that accept a harsh life and dangerous duties in exchange for a fresh start and a meritocracy that allows any a chance to make something of themselves.

Thane Bor Coaldust

Bor was born originally of the Frostborn in the Storm Peaks of Northrend. While many of his kind show a proficiency for frost magic, Bor himself was a born Battlemage: able to wield his magic as both weapon and shield, while standing in the midst of the melee. When the Alliance Vanguard and the Explorer's League came, Bor volunteered to help set supply lines and defend them, letting his cousins explore their lineage. He was also on the front lines of the Ashen Verdict, leading his people in the fray against the Lich King. Upon Arthas's defeat, and the return of Muradin, the new King Icebellow saw a need for continued vigilance and protection in the lesser civilized regions of the homeland, and elected Bor to stand watch over his namesake.

Coaldust Clan

Named for the Clan's proclivity for eschewing even the most basic of needs, Coaldust are some of the most spartan dwarves, even by Frostborn standards. Trade is important for the necessities, but there are no gilded halls or jeweled hilts amongst these people, instead preferring function over all else. If an axe cuts, and a shield deflects, than it is good, and how it looks (or even if that was its original intention) are irrelevant. It is not uncommon to see Coaldust dwarves in cast iron, expertly made and simply functional. Their mounts are equally hardy and simple: gryphons, rams and bears, with the truly warbrave taming protodrakes as a form of both station and bragging.
