What date is it on?
I didnât meet him much, but he is a character to mourn! (obviously not on this)
His funeral will be held this Friday, 20:00RT at Kirthaven if youâre wishing to come by!
What a night! Id like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came to support us tonight, the turn out was incredible and i hope you can all join us tomorrow for even more!
What a night indeed, a wonderful and beautiful funeral, a awsome drunk wake (great music some some handsome bard aswell) and even more games and fun tonight, make sure to come on by!
A day of mourning, remembrance and celebration to the passing of Thane Grahda Stormheart. His silk-wrapped body was met with a large gathering of both family and friends, both old and new alike. He forwarded the march, carried high atop a gilded, ceremonial stretcher. Brega, Grahdaâs majestic Razorbeak was waiting within the roost of Kirthaven, upon the strapping of the stretcher, he had the great honour of granting our Thane a last ride; atop Thunderstrike Mountain we would gather.
âTae Thane is dead⌠Long live tae Thane!â - Grongul Stormheart
A magnificent flock mustered between the many nests of the roost, each and every single guest was paired and saddled with one of Wildhammerâs very own stock. And upon the words of Haelga Stormheart, they ascended, high up within the westerly gale of the Highlands, their wings flapping in unison churned the air like that of a hurricane. Such a flock hadnât been sighted in the skies of Northeron for an age - it wouldâve surely struck fear in to the heart of any foe of Wildhammer, cowering beyond the surge of the great Verrall river to the south.
"Ta winds carry forth nae gentle song,
Tis a forthcoming gale, ta call has rung,
Deeps roots link ta kin oâ both rock nâ sky,
Lo there do I see ta storm gather nigh,No quarrel is given between beast nâ I,
As we ascend within these clouds so high,
Ta find nae foe within this thunderous air,
That can match our might, enemies beware,For these Highlands be our most sacred oâ home,
And weâll fight till our last, let it be known,
That those oâ Wildhammer will never falter,-Never waver-,
Our ties with this land ever strong,
And weâll save her." - Grahdaâs Poem, Performed by Tharragh Longbeard
And so the great host gathered atop the summit of Thunderstrike Mountain, the ceremony was lead by the Elder Shaman, Galvrin Stormheart - brother to the late Thane. He walked first, the last few steps towards the great graveyard of our forebears, leading after was Grahda and his four bearers, Olgrynn Stormheart, Grongul Stormheart, Mairede Thunderfist and Molrik Whitebeard. He was settled beside his mighty grave, already dug as the proceedings continued in both blessing and honouring his legacy.
âHe was foremost a dutiful son.
Foremost a caring brother.
Foremost a loving father.
Foremost a devoted husband.
Fer which I shall consider myself forever blessed.â - Haelga Stormheart
After the blessings from Galvrin Stormheart, the shared words from the likes of Haelga Stormheart, Grongul Stormheart, Dwumlir Forlornstone and Oginn Stormclaw. Grahda was then lowered within his lasting resting place. It was then gifts where bestowed, offered down upon his grave whilst he was then buried. Gifts given from The Hammerguard, The League of Modimus, The Greyhawk Paratroopers and more.
The large gathering then slowly began to depart over time, whilst some stayed a little while longer to offer their prayers upon Grahdaâs grave, or to give their condolences to the widowed Haelga.
Back within the comforts of Kirthaven, Thane Grahda was celebrated through much needed revelry, story and games! Many-an-ale was drunk, whilst despite many âheroic attemptsâ, Thumperâs Horn was not bested this night!
Overall, it was a fantastic turnout for the greatly loved Thane, on behalf of Clan Stormheart Iâd just like to thank everyone who stopped by to attend, he couldnât have had a better send off.

An absolutely brilliant two-day event⌠I feel blessed to have experienced it. Thank you, Stormhearts, for sharing this with us!
Thank you so much for having us, the guild loved both the days of ceremony! We were quite immersed during the naming of the successor. It was awesome
Despite all thatâs happened surrounding the Stormheart family lately, our wrangling / breeding of the Razorbeak hasnât stopped!
Our roost is getting -full- my friends, weâve got -SIX- Razorbeak on standby and awaiting their new forever homes. Why donât you drop us a message and swing by Kirthaven?! Weâll do you a swell deal on a new set of wings!
Might even throw in a free saddleâŚ
Donât be shy, weâre open for business and looking for custom!
Around which time are you usually active? Would love to have my character visit you fellas if you donât mind some Gilnean company!
Weâre now about to embark on a campaign to Kalimdor in the next couple days, but drop me a nudge on Discord! My tag is up top ^ can sort something out there!
After a week and a half away aiding our allies in Kalimdor, we shall be returning to the familiar comforts of the Highlands to rest, recuperate and catch a breath. Visitors are welcome to Kirthaven anytime!
Recruitment!
Whilst weâre back within the comforts of Kirthaven, weâre in no better position to be able to enroll new folk in to our flock!
So if youâve ever had that need for in-depth, quality Wildhammer RP and wanted a place to try it out? Clan Stormheart are more than welcoming to new and old RPers alike.
So pick up your Stormhammer and get yourself saddled, come down to Kirthaven and see what weâre about!
Winds guide, mâkin!
Khuzan has swiftly decided to stick around Clan Stormheart for a little while, to see what shenanigans theyâre up to! I hear theyâve a wee bone to pick with the Dragonmaw, let us hope for a nice, slow and painful resolution for those pesky tusk-tooth menaces.
A dangerously delightful guild. At present a few of the Circle are adventuring with the Dwarves, working together for a shared purpose!
Whilst trying not to get cut in half by DragonmawâŚgood times for all!
The people of Clan Stormheart (and friends!) are a wonderful bunch with an intricate and fascinating way of storytelling - thank you for having us!
I cannot say much more as I rolled a 1 and am currently unconscious.
â Jeraielâs thoughts
Lol im glad you enjoyed it mate, thank you much for coming along!
I contacted Clan Stormheart with the hopes of advancing a storyline via even a little bit of roleplay at the Clanâs grounds⌠what I ended up with was a thrilling event DMâd by the amazing Grongul!
I enjoyed my time immensely and I can only hope there is lots more co-operation to be done with this Clan. I can wholeheartedly recommend joining them or reaching out to them
ShhhâŚyouâll make me blush.
Thank you so much for the kind words and i look forward to more stuff to come in the future
