History
King Skorri grew up together with Gudrun and they became best friends and were veterans of many battles.[3]
As a High King, Skorri mustered a great throng north to try and retake Karak Ungor in -975 IC. In the Battle of a Thousand Woes they achieved some initial successes, clearing the southern valley and even the gate but was eventually repulsed and forced to retreat to Karaz-a-Karak. [1][2][3]
Few dwarves, including Prince Furgil and Gudrun who had sworn to protect the prince, infiltrated the lower halls of Karak Ungor. Attacked by Night Goblins, Gudrun slew sixty of them, but the prince was carried off by a Troll as the warrior was knocked unconscious. Awakening, he tracked the monster to its lair and beheaded it but discovered the prince was already dead. Ashamed, he dyed his hair orange to honour the fiery red hair of the young prince and swore an oath to kill every troll he could find. Gudrun thus became the first Slayer and no Dwarf shall forget his name. [2]
High King Skorri died shortly afterwards. [1][2]
