Dwarves, a mighty race of short but brawny stature.  A race that knows honor and loyalty better than any other, but also very prideful of themselves.
There was originally one main clan of dwarves, the Ironforge clan. Under this clan were three other clans of dwarves, the Bronzebeard clan, Wildhammer clan, and Dark Iron clan. The Dark Iron dwarves were ruled by the sorcerer Thaurissan and lived in the darkest shadows of the Ironforge Mountain.
The mountain was shared by all three factions. Tensions were held to a reasonable amount until the high king of the dwarves, Modimus Anvilmar, died.  All three factions fought for supremacy, embroiling the dwarves in a civil war. The civil war raged on for many years all over Dun Morogh, until one day the Bronzebeard appeared to be victorious. In their victory, the Bronzebeard banished their Dark Iron and Wildhammer brethren from the mountain.

The Wildhammers went north to Dun Algaz and began to rebuild their kingdom with their own mountain city of Grim Batol. The Dark Irons, however, humiliated and enraged by their defeat, travelled to the Redridge Mountains and founded a city, which their leader Thaurissan named after himself.Years later, the Dark Irons maintained a grudge and launched a two-part attack on Ironforge and Grim Batol with the intention of obtaining ultimate supremacy over all dwarves. He attacked both of the cities at the same time because the Dark Irons were afraid that when either city were attacked, the other city would come to their aid.  Though failing to take both citys in the mountains, and losing his wive the Queen to Khardros Wildhammer leader of Grim Batol, which soon was cursed by her dieing breath and made it an unlivable place. The Dark Iron pulled back to redridge in a final stance against the Bronzbeard and the Wildhammer clans.  In fear of losing his own city, Thaurissan Summond the Firelord Ragnaros, causing a Cataclysmic event in the
mountains killing himself and many of the Dark Iron clan with him.  To this day the mountains affected by Ragnaros's rage are known as Blackrock mountains, the city itself sitting in the middle of Blackrock Spire.

"Kodaik!"

My head snapped up, " Are you reading that book, again?"

I closed up the book, revealing the leather cover with stone like lettering spelling out 'War of the Three Hammers', "My apolagies, High Priest, I was just trying to finish up before training began."
I'm starting a Fan-Fiction based on the World of Warcraft, I guess i cant really say im starting i've been working on it for a while but here is what im using to start it out. The War of the Three Hammers is from Blizzard Entertainment, im not taking credit for it just thought it would make an awesome intro to an Epic story. :)

P.S. to those who know what is going on, or fellow warcraft players, please feel free to leave comments about the lore, if i got something wrong or if there is a detail that just must be in there to make the story complete, thanks!! :)
