Admiral Eggard-Flint

Admiral Dorthiel Eggard-Flint was a notable serviceman of the Dwarven war council who served from the years 302-317

In the spring of 302 the rank Admiral didn't exist within the Dwarven forces, Admirals simply weren't necessary deep underground as naval warfare wasn't thought probable. This changed during the 3rd assault on the infamous Steam Gauntlet.

Whilst the Admiral was still a lowly officer she was in charge of a rag-tag team of Dwarves thought to have ranged between 30 and 40 in number. It was this force that was tasked with holding back the Kobald forces as they attempted to breach through a narrow rock wall past the gauntlet that would lead them straight into the heart of Galindor. After the second assault upon the gauntlet the Admiral's forces were waning, it is estimated that half of the Dwarves had succumb to death at the hands of the Kobald army. It was during the short days of respite between the 2nd and 3rd assault that the Admiral hatched a plan that would earn her her title.

Below the gauntlet are a series of tunnels flooded with boiling water, from time to time this water would surface in the gauntlet in the form of steam jets which released the pressure in the tunnels. The Admiral ordered a small number of his forces to go below the gauntlet to erect blockages throughout the tunnels. This raised the pressure high enough that during the 3rd assault the gauntlet burst open from below and flooded with boiling water, at which point the Admiral's remaining forces accompanied her as she sailed along the water to finish off the then drowned and scalded Kobald forces.

Upon hearing the news of the successful defence of Galindor, Ibûn Claystone personally awarded the Admiral with a medallion of courage for her service to the kingdom.

Shortly after her success the Admiral was summoned to appear before the Dwarven war council to receive her new title.
