Though he was bitten, Bruenor managed to kill the spider and find his way up to a vent to the outside. Eventually, he had to escape by climbing up a chimney shaft, during which he was attacked by a giant spider. Over the next few weeks, Bruenor worked his way up from the lowest points of Mithral Hall, covering his beard and hair in ash to disguise its color from the duergar]that now resided in Mithral Hall, and killing any who found him out.
Meanwhile, Bruenor climbed from the corpse of Shimmergloom, finding that the magic sword Icingdeath had kept him alive. Drizzt and Wulfgar vowed to retrieve Regis, after getting Catti-brie to safety. The apparent death of Bruenor and the capture of Regis disheartened the companions, and they chose to leave the Halls of Mithral Hall, having a running battle with the duergar that had served Shimmergloom. In the meantime, Entreri took Regis at dagger point to return him to Calimport. The Companions of the Hall later did battle with Shimmergloom, but Bruenor set the dragon on fire and became caught on it, riding it all the way to its doom, and his companions feared him dead. Icingdeath, Drizzt's scimitar, was left behind in the Chamber with Bruenor, he took it with him and stayed with Catti-brie, Regis, and Wulfgar on the upper levels as the brokenhearted band searched for their way out, thinking that Drizzt was dead. Īfter many challenges on the way to Mithral Hall, including the crossing of the Trollmoors, after being refused entry by guards in Nesmé, Drizzt's heritage often striking fear into the common folk of the north, the arrival of the Companions of the Hall was a short-lived joyous occasion, After a battle with Artemis and his cronies in the entry levels of Mithral Hall, Drizzt and Artemis were separated from the others by an ancient dwarven trap. But while they traveled across Icewind Dale, Regis joined them, fleeing from Pasha Pook's master assassin Artemis Entreri, who was sent to kill Regis and take back his ruby pendant, but Regis had fled before Artemis Entreri arrived at his house in Bryn Shander, but kidnapped Catti-brie, and began a hunt across the north to track down Regis, joining up with members from the Host Tower of the Arcane in Luskan on the search, who wished to hunt down and capture Drizzt Do'Urden, as Dendybar the Mottled mistakenly believed that he had Crenshinibon, or at least knew where to find it. Īlong with Drizzt and Wulfgar, Bruenor set off to find his homeland of Mithral Hall.
After the battle with the wizard Akar Kessel and the artifact Crenshinibon in the Year of the Worm, 1356 DR, Bruenor tricked his friend Drizzt Do'Urden into helping in the search for Mithral Hall by pretending to be dying after sustaining injuries during the battle. Reclaiming Mithral Hall īruenor Battlehammer charging into battle.įor all of his adult life, Bruenor dreamed of returning to Mithral Hall to reclaim his homeland. Bruenor oversaw most of the construction of the place. When Bruenor came of age, he took his rightful place as leader of the clan. Clan Battlehammer supplied the towns with well-made dwarven weapons and armor.
Icewind Dale īruenor's clan took up residence in Icewind Dale under Kelvin's Cairn, close to the Ten-Towns. In the 1100s DR, when Bruenor was just a boy, his people were run out of Mithral Hall by the shadow dragon Shimmergloom and his duergar minions. Although he had initially agreed to help Drizzt, for several years he had given up on that plan, until he met his cursed friend Thibbledorf Pwent, who reminded him of the importance of loyalty to his friends. Īfter his reincarnation, he struggled with his belief in his god and with the unfairness of the world in general, but he eventually gained a goal for his life (returning as the 13 th king of Mithral Hall and uniting the Silver Marches). His legacy of leadership still persisted decades after his death. He was a strong leader and equally strong fighter. He was willing to put aside his prejudices for other races when needed, which helped him gain the friendship of Drizzt. Personality īruenor was gruff and stubborn, but he showed a tender side for his daughter, Catti-brie, and even Wulfgar at times. Īfter his reincarnation, Bruenor looked the same as in his previous life, only much younger. In 1357 DR, he lost his right eye in battle and gained a great scar running from his forehead to his jaw. His eyes were blue and he stood 4.5 feet (1.4 meters) tall. He had a large, hawk-like, pointy nose that had been broken several times. 3.8 Return to Mithral Hall and Many Arrowsīruenor had wild red hair and beard.
