A Grimbeard is a berserker chosen by the dwarven deity, Thaiek, Lord of Iron. A Grimbeard is only chosen when a dwarven city within Azaken becomes under threat by any of the Zariger armies, first they are tasked with leading defensive actions, alongside the city's militia, then, when the initial attack recedes, they are tasked with launching a counter attack. Gifted divine power and a Seismic hammer, to emulate the hammer of Thaiek that rests within the capital's grand hall and the great king.
Grimbeards are steadfast in defence but unrelenting in assault, and when the time comes to strike the Grimbeard will assemble a small party of the most skilled warriors to seek out and destroy siege engines and eliminate the leaders of the enemy force. Once a Grimbeard has successfully defended the attack they strike deep into enemy lines to kill as many possible before suffering an heroic death.
