Weshiothe: Famous-Ax-Blade1

Of Heynoch Thuntmutz

Name Etymology: Heynoch is the Weshiothe rendering of Heynochs

Dwarven name. It means Famous-Might and is derived from

the Weshiothe stemgheychmeaning Fame and the Weshiothe

root noch meaning Strong, Might or Fort

Thuntmutz is Stoazeekuban, or Dwarven - a rendering

of the two roots thunt (Red) & mutz (Beard).

Heynochs short Stoazeebukan name is Stungliazfdurol

Thuntmutz, the first name being the combination of the

Stoazeebukan roots stung (Fame), liazefd (Mighty) & urol

(Hammer). As for the Dwarfs full name in Stoazeebukan, it

encompasses his short name with the addition of honourific

prefixes, a clan name and the listing of his paternal lineage

dating back to the earliest reaches of his clans history. Theentirety of the name is much too lengthy to record within the

framework of this etymological & historical discussion.

Brief History: Heynoch Thuntmutz was born in 1271 S.I.A. the eldest

son of Heyedetha Thuntmutz, Captain of the Awepheqyr1

Gates of Kheanifruf near the Grand Duchy of Ravenstone. At

a very young age, Heynoch demonstrated great strength and

a fearlessness that often times got him and his friends into

trouble. Though Heynoch, like all of the Rhysmen, is a staunchdefender of tradition and Dwarven values, the warrior was

rebellious in his youth. At the time that his first whiskers

began to grow, the young son of the Captain of the Awepheqyr

Gates had developed quite the reputation for mischief, so much

so that it began to effect the reputation of his noble father and

his familys position within the mountain kingdom.

Not long after Heynochs 100 birthday, the youngth

rebellious warrior was exiled from Kheanifruf when it was

discovered that his band of friends had been secretly amassing

weapons and armour in a small cavern in the very lowest sinkof the underground citadel-city. The purpose for this collection

of armaments was never disclosed by the band of Rhysmen,

and they were immediately seen as rebels bent on usurping the

The Hanoteac clan of TuiJethe by the time of the Second Imperial Age had2

expanded its power and lands to such an extent that they were considered by most

sages to form a Nation unto themselves. This nomenclature meaning The Chiefs Men

was applied to this Nation by Loremasters. However, this anthropology was never

integrated within the everyday culture of any of the Hanoteac Clans or Nations and the

TuiJethe remained, in the eyes of most Hanoteac, simply one of the largest and most

powerful Hanoteac Clans.

rule of the King. As ring-leader, Heynoch was immediately

exiled from Kheanifruf and told never to return.

For fourteen long years Heynoch traveled Nytheun in

search of himself and his place in the world. At first he

explored the vast unexplored subterranean passages which

connected the Rhysmen kingdoms as well as the fell-

strongholds of the Goblinkin and other darker underground

denzines. But the darkness of this underworld soon felt heavy

upon the young Dwarfs shoulders and at last he came out into

the sunshine of the upper-world in one of the many valleys in

the Mountains of Hanoteac. Heynoch has never spoken of the

explorations and adventures in these dark years of his youth

and his friends know well enough not to pry to far into his

early history.

A fateful meeting would change the dishonouredDwarfs fate. Whilst exploring an ancient wood nestled deep

in a valley in the Mountains of Hanoteac, Heynoch met the

Jethexaf Druid, Otinoplef TuiJethe. The two immediately2

became fast friends after stumbling on an Orc raiding party

who were preparing to attack a small Jethexaf settlement not

far away. Together they killed the Orcs, six in number,

bringing their heads back to the village elder to receive

payment for the deed. For it was at this time, as in most ages,

that the elders of the Hanoteac would pay warriors and

adventurers gold for the heads of goblinkin.

From that day on, the two friends hunted Orcs and

Goblins throughout the mountains, bringing their heads to

villages and towns to reap the rewards. Soon, they had made

a name for themselves as the best Goblin-Hunters in the area

and their renown traveled far and wide throughout the

Hanoteac lands.
