| - Stronghammer is one of the six clans of the dwarves in Ashan. The stronghammers are the craftsmen and metalworkers of the dwarves, creators of the Dwarves' handicrafts and weapons. In the great forges of the dwarves, the smiths produce sturdy weapons to strike down their enemies. Bart Brimstone, the dwarf pirate, grew up as a stronghammer dwarf. Unlike his fellow dwarves, he believed there was great power to be harnessed by combining fire with water. His research was declared to be an insult to Arkath the Dragon God of fire, and he was exiled. Travelling on the sea to continue his research, he eventually became a pirate to fund his experiments, built a fortress on a volcanic island in the Savage Sea, and created the world's first steam-powered vehicle: a great ship called the Fiery Heart.
