Rage.It is a fire that burns so hot, it threatens to consume the one who dares hold it within. It is a deep seeded anger, a fury boiling over so much so that whoever feels it feels as if with the wrong word spoken or the wrong deed done, they may simply snap and lose all control. It is the urge to unleash one's truest, most primal, most raw self, the need to simply rend all things within one's path.It is this fire that burns within the Orsimer that presents himself. His eyes wander to the nearby hearth, focusing on the dancing flame, an act which seems to soothe the fury that builds within him. A long moment of tension fills the room, as if any words spoken to him may draw his ire, his fury, his rage. Yet after what seems like an eternity of awkward silence, he lifts his gaze, and instead of anger, instead of fury, instead of rage he offers a jovial smile.This is Gorthal gro-Gunthak, otherwise known as Blackforge.

Grim Oath's Fury
He forged the sword he called the Grim Oath, made with the ashes of the fallen chieftain Thrusk gro-Bogroth. This blade served him well, until the Pale Watch emerged and became a threat to him and the clan he called his family. He the blade reforged by Skorga One-Tusk, and infused with Nirncrux.
The Face of the Chieftain
In many cases, the chieftain wears a smirk, one of a swaggering ex mercenary turned chieftain that takes little seriously. Behind closed doors, he wears a pensive expression, and though he has avenged his past grievances, the pain of his youth still haunts him even now, when he has everything he has ever wanted in life. Nothing will give him his old life back, and while he may not desire it, the pain is still a raw wound in his heart.
Death of the Warcaller - Comfort in Grief
They closed in around him and the Warcaller. The Pale Watch had locked the clan behind a cage, and both Gorthal and Duma had to fight ten armored Bretons with spears. Duma fell, and Gorthal was inconsolable. After returning to the hold, Gorthal brooded in his quarters before Skorga came to him, and they shared in their mutual grief, before choosing to put aside the pain, if only for just one night.
The Chieftain's Burden
He never asked to be chief. He never wanted it. Not truly. He was content as a mercenary. Yet became chieftain he did, and while he may still have part of the old swaggering mercenary inside him, he takes the burden of chiefdom seriously, and that burden is his to carry.
War against the Bloodfury
The Bloodfury surrounded him. The violent Reachmen Tribe revered Malacath and believed themselves stronger than the Orsimer. Gorthal gro-Gunthak, then called Blackforge, disagreed with the assessment. The Reachmen of the Bloodfury would pay dearly for their miscalculation in blood.
Unwelcome Meeting
Gorthal's torrid romance with the Shield Wife Nazulbesh gra-Shad began with a knife to the throat. She believed him a usurper, and Gorthal looked upon her ferocity as an open challenge. He declared that he would share the furs with her by the end, and sure enough, this was just the start of their tale.
Chieftain and Shield Wife
In the wilds of Wrothgar, Gorthal and Nazulbesh, now closer and more intimate took to the snows where he taught her the fundamentals of being a berserker. Soon they would fight a giant, and Gorthal would grin ear to ear as he watched Nazulbesh lose her restraint and fight with the savage fury that the Orsimer people were known for.

Chieftain and Shield Wife
In the wilds of Wrothgar, Gorthal and Nazulbesh, now closer and more intimate took to the snows where he taught her the fundamentals of being a berserker. Soon they would fight a giant, and Gorthal would grin ear to ear as he watched Nazulbesh lose her restraint and fight with the savage fury that the Orsimer people were known for. Yet that was not the most exciting to come from the battle, for in a heated moment of passion, Gorthal declared what they both already knew: she was his, and he was hers, and nobody was going to get in their way.
Chieftain and Forge Wife
In Grumaari Territory at a nearby hotspring, Gorthal and Skorga One-Tusk share an intimate moment. Their relationship, forged by tragedy and loss has now become one of loving partners, lovers, and more. No matter the threat to the Grumaari, they stand together, united, as one.
Clearing the Table
Feeling bold and daring, Gorthal and Nazulbesh ate and drank, only to forget about both as they cleare the table in a fit of passion. It is here that Gorthal believes they conceived their twin children Skoraz and Nagri, and for that reason Gorthal looks fondly upon this memory.
Re-enacting the Unwelcome Meeting
The last time Gorthal and Nazulbesh indulged before the Shield Wife shifted her entire being into being a mother. Feeling emboldened, she put dagger to Gorthal's throat and controlled the moment, a reminder of the passion they shared before their focus shifted from the torrid romance to the responsibility of being leaders in a clan and being parents to young children.
