User:Omordie/Omordie Shadowhammer

Master Seargant Omordie Shadowhammer is the Emperor of Shadowforge City and a soldier of the Alliance. He is half Dark Iron and half Bronzebeard, but is Bronzebeard in appearance. His father is Emperor Thaurissan and his mother is Menia Ivonhall of Ironforge. This makes Dagran Omordie's half-brother. There is little known about when exactly Omordie was born, but it is believed that Dagran was born a bit earlier, making him entitled to the throne. However, Omordie is now the Emperor of Shadowforge after conquering the city for the Alliance, and felling his half-brother. Omordie is considered somewhat of a mercanary of the Alliance, as many soldiers are these days. He is allied to the Alliance, but also fights for the many other factions based around the world. However, Omordie now fights in Northrend, hoping to learn more about the Iron Dwarves in the East, who seem to be hostile, but who he wishes to befriend in order replenish some of the forces lost by the Dark Irons in the Battle of Shadowforge.

Early Stages
Little is known about Omordie's birthplace or date of birth, but he was found lying at the doorstep to the townfall of Lakeshire in Redridge as a baby. Menia Ivonhall appears to be his mother, as she left a letter with her signature with the baby about relatives in The Hinterlands. Menia Ivonhall hasn't been seen since the birth of her son.

Omordie grew up in Lakeshire and was raised by the people of the Inn in the town. As a dwarf of 16, he enlisted with the Stormwind army to defend his town against hostile forces (mainly murlocs, gnolls and orcs). The young paladin was the hero of many battles as he crushed the Murlocs of Lake Everstill and showed brilliant leadership as he lead Alliance forces to victory at Stonewatch Keep, an orc stronghold. He was also able to eliminate much of the threat posed by the gnolls in the area with the help of other Alliance soldiers, such as Velais Shadowcrazy, the general of Stormwind forces at the future battle of Shadowforge. Once the letter was revealed about his relatives was revealed to him, he saved up enough money to leave for the Hinterlands at the age of 18.

When Omordie arrived at the supposed home of his kin, he found that the place had been pillaged and burned by the indigenous trolls of the area. However, the people of Aerie Peak revealed to him that the eldest son of the family, his cousin had survived the attack, but had shortly after left to serve under Prince Arthas Menethil in his campaign against the scourge. Realizing that his cousin was his only family left, he decided to enlist in the Military as well.

The Alliance Campaign
Omordie joined the army as a Master Seargant, carrying his rank which he previously held in the Lakeshire militia. Omordie arrived just after the invasion of Anderhol. Omordie joined up with the Alliance forces and met his cousin for the first time as the army was traveling to Hearthglen. Omordie and Oradhe reflected stories to one another until they reached the town. Almost instantly the town was under siege by undead. First Omordie and Oradhe had to kill the transformed villagers and then fought to hold out against a relentless onslaught of scourge forces. During the fray towards the end of the battle, Omordie lost his track on Oradhe, and realized that he was no longer with the Alliance forces.
