A ‘Concise’ History of the Thirteen Dominions Kretedes Glymm History Half-light, half-truth, half a life — that is the best you can hope for, here. [17h]
A History of the Hop Wars G.S. Rognorsson History The first Bugmansson Distilleries were opened in Barak-Nar some eight-score years after the Battle of Madralta, during the era that serious students of Kharadron brewcraft have come to know as the Wars of Fermentation. During this period, several rival guild-companies battled over profitable contracts to supply the rapidly growing Kharadron navy with shipboard ale. Bugmansson’s Breweries would face stiff competition from Gulbar Gold Standard, Skyfarer’s Choice and, of course, their most resilient foes – the Firehop Brothers of Barak-Zon. Far from taking place solely within boardrooms and offices, this ‘war’ was often fought with fists, bar stools and whatever else was close to hand. Indeed, during the ceremony that bestowed the title of Brewmaster General upon the legendary Bjarni Bugmansson – making him the first duardin to ever hold that hallowed position – proceedings were interrupted several times by low-flying endrins scrawled with insults and unfounded accusations as to the personal hygiene and mating habits of Bugmansson’s ancestors.

Just as we fear the gods, so too might they fear us. [30]

The Bugmansson Legacy: A Study of the Noble Brewmasters Svend Skagrund History ‘Like so many Khazalid bloodlines that claim to have survived the horrors of the Unbak-Grund intact, the exact origins of Clan Bugman are difficult to discern. Rune etchings recovered from the mines of KarazRhak appear to suggest that one Angbuld Bugmansson was once an honoured guest of High King Gori Grotculler’s court, but there exists equally persuasive evidence of major alehouses bearing the iconography of the ‘six Xs’ as far afield as the Pallorwastes of the eastern Shyish Innerlands and even – some whisper – beneath the cursed lands of the Eightpoints.
