[Sombre]

There's a huge amount of background info on the slayer king, why he took the slayer vow, where he got the dragon cloak from etc.

I can send it to you if you want. He's one of the main characters in the older army books. Thogrim too, he came before alarik.

I don't think a mechanical hand is out of flavour for dwarfs with no gunpowder - it's just magic like a mechanical man or clockwork horror.
