==In the RPG==
The mighty dwarves of the Stormpike clan (and others) also train battle rams to serve as loyal mounts.Alliance Player's Guide, pg. 201
According to Brann the Stormpike clan have taken a liking to the Alterac Mountains and defend them fiercely against the trolls and orcs invading the area.Alliance Player's Guide, pg. 166 By taking a few troll heads, the Stormpikes manage to form a close bond with Wildhammer dwarves. The Stormpike clan is also known for working with the Wildhammer clan, as well as some of the last high elves.Alliance Player's Guide, pg. 166, 168
The war started because of a misunderstanding over religious beliefs; the orcs attacked the Stormpikes because the orcs' spirits had been desecrated, and the dwarves are not aware of the spirits. While Brann Bronzebeard understands why the Frostwolves want the land, he simply doesn't understand why the trolls want Alterac. The fighting in region became intense, with both Frostwolves and the Stormpike dwarves fighting over the resources in the area — mostly gold, steel and other types of metal.Horde Player's Guide, pg. 182 He feels these bizarre attempts to take the Alterac Mountains keep the Stormpike clan and their allies away from the front lines against the Scourge, and that it would be better if both sides would get along to fight the other threats.Alliance Player's Guide, pg. 175
Some humans help out the Stormpike clan as well. "Captain Balinda Stonehearth commands a massive human unit reinforcing the Stormpike clan in the valleys of the Alterac Mountains."Alliance Player's Guide, pg. 169
