Durdretrude Grayfall †
Overview
Durdretrude Grayfall was the founder of the Grayfall Empire during the 2nd Era. He established a dwarven-dominated empire that spanned the Verdant Peninsula, built on strategic prowess and exploitation.
Notable Information
- The empire was known for its engineering marvels and fortified cities. However, its foundation relied on the forced labour of enslaved humans, creating a legacy of wealth coupled with oppression.
- Under Durdretrude’s vision, the Grayfall Empire adopted a policy of isolationism, avoiding interactions with other factions such as the elves of Ehobel. This seclusion shaped its politics and culture but limited its influence beyond its borders.
- Durdretrude’s empire became a symbol of dwarven might, innovation, and dominance, setting the stage for future conflicts and internal strife as the empire's governance model and reliance on slavery sowed the seeds of its decline.
- While the empire eventually collapsed in the 4th Era, its legacy persisted through lessons of avarice, exploitation, and the eventual shift towards reconciliation under later leaders like Werrec Whitshield.
