Journey to Black Fire Pass - A Dwarven Tale of Honor and Grudges

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay | Campaign

About the adventure

The Thundrik Clan of Karak Azgaraz has suffered a grievous loss. Belkrum Thundrik, eldest of his brothers, ventured into the treacherous Black Fire Pass with a mighty rune-weapon, a symbol of hope for the Dwarfs battling the ever-present Greenskin threat. Yet, he has not returned, and neither has word of his fate. Now, his brothers, Gunnar and Thord, have issued a call for the bravest and most skilled Dwarfs to join them in an expedition deep into Black Fire Pass. Their mission is clear: uncover Belkrum’s fate, recover the powerful rune-weapon, and strike vengeance against the Orcs and Goblins that infest the pass. In this Dwarf-only adventure, you will create your own Dwarven hero to join the ranks—whether as a seasoned Miner navigating ancient tunnels, a Slayer seeking a glorious end in battle, or a Runesmith intent on protecting Dwarven lore. You will face dangerous Greenskin warbands, treacherous mountain terrain, and the long-held grudges of your people. Themes of the Adventure: Kinship & Honor: Family bonds, loyalty, and the honor of your clan are at stake. The loss of one Dwarf is felt by all. Ancient Grudges: Unleash your wrath against centuries-old enemies—Greenskins, treacherous mountain paths, and dark forces that have long plagued your ancestors. Dwarven Pride & Tradition: Uphold the ancient customs of your people as you journey through halls and tunnels carved by your forefathers. Relentless Survival: Black Fire Pass is unforgiving. Only the toughest, most resilient Dwarfs will survive the harsh mountains, treacherous caves, and hordes of Greenskins. Discovery & Lost Relics: Reclaim powerful rune-forged weapons and long-forgotten secrets of your ancestors, hidden deep within the mountains. Ancient secrets and new threats lie in wait beneath the mountains. Will you reclaim the honor of the Thundrik Clan and restore what was lost, or will Black Fire Pass claim your lives as it has countless others before you? Prepare your armor, ready your axes, and gird yourself for battle. The fate of Dwarven kin, honor, and legacy rests on your shoulders.
