The Axes of Norr ironbreakers regiment were the most famous of the surviving Norgrimlings clan. Although the clan was scattered for long ages, many have now gathered beneath the banner of King Belegar. Now, scattered across many holds, some Norgrimlings still toil in the deep mines, but most seek to one day fight as Ironbreakers or Irondrakes.

Based in the lower levels, it was their kin that suffered the brunt of the ratmen's invasion during their long siege of Karak Eight Peaks. A mining clan out of Karak Eight Peaks, it was not unusual for a Norgrimling to go decades or longer without seeing the sun. All Dwarfs reserve a special loathing for Skaven, but the Norgrimlings have more reason than most.
