Veldaban

Veldaban is a dwarven commander of the Black Guard, the elite Military and Police Regiment in Keldagrim. Commander Veldaban can be found in the building west of the Keldagrim bank.

As Veldaban is a commander of an elite dwarven force, he may appear harsh at first, but is actually a warm-hearted individual with the city's best interests at heart. Commander Veldaban is always aware of all that takes place within the city. He is particularly suspicious of The Red Axe and their brutal methods of business.

His eccentric father, Dondakan, is the main character in Between a Rock.... Commander Veldaban himself features heavily in The Giant Dwarf, Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf and Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf. He is a reliable supporter of the player character, and serves admirably as Commander until his unanticipated resignation.

It is worth noting that during the time he follows you in Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf, he runs if you run. At the time, Commander Veldaban was the only NPC able to do so.

Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf


In the blog New Dwarf Quest: Implementation Begins, Commander Veldaban is said to be involved in an upcoming quest in the Rise of the Red Axe quest series. At the end of Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf, Veldaban resigns from the Black Guard after a heated disagreement with the Consortium and Supreme Commander Bisi over how to proceed after discovering that the Red Axe organisation is breeding an army of chaos dwarves with aid from Arposandra. Following his resignation, Commander Veldaban can be found at a table in the Laughing Miner Pub in eastern side of Keldagrim. When spoken to at the Laughing Miner, he states that he will continue his investigation and that people are still going missing from Keldagrim, though the player cannot be of assistance at the present time.

In Forgiveness of a Chaos Dwarf, he is revealed to have had a love interest with a female dwarf from East Keldagrim named Hilda who was unfortunately turned into a Chaos dwarf when she and Veldaban were spying on The Red Axe.

At the end of King of the Dwarves, Meike edits the records to change who the heir to the throne is: they don't want Hreidmar to be the king. Instead Meike makes Veldaban king, much to Veldaban's dislike.
