The Red Axe

The Red Axe are a company which appear to be trying to take over Keldagrim. They are lead by Hreidmar, who was part of the Keldagrim consortium, a government led by the eight most influencial mining companies in Keldagrim. The Red Axe was generally considered the most powerful of the eight companies. During its time in Keldagrim, it put many companies out of business and caused many uncooperative dwarves to be unemployed. The Red Axe created a respected and hated name for itself amongst the dwarven community very quickly.

The Red Axe were last seen in the Rise of the Red Axe quest series. This included The Giant Dwarf and Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf. When Hreidmar's face was not put on the giant statue's face, he left the city, taking the Red Axe with him. Now he is leading an army of chaos dwarves in an attempt to conquer Keldagrim. The company has allied itself with the gnomes of Arposandra, as well as a very powerful Ogre Shaman.

They are also noted in The Fremennik Isles quest, where it was shown that they were trading with Jatizso, undoubtedly for the ore beneath the city. They were also noted in Another Slice of H.A.M., where they seem to be trading with the Dorgeshuun as well. It is also likely, but not confirmed, that the Red Axe sold H.A.M. the machinery that nearly flooded Dorgesh-Kaan during the Death to the Dorgeshuun quest.
