Kurz Ironcrane

Kurz Ironcrane was the leader of the Ironcrane Dynasty during the War of Five Dynasties. He was known to be deliberate and calculating, but not unkind. In his youth, he was trained by monks before leaving to seek out the sukong warriors and learning from them. When he entered leadership, he was a renowned fighter. But fighting a battle and fighting a war are very different, and Kurz was thrown unprepared into the War of Five Dynasties.
Though his people survived the war, many looked at Kurz with distrust. Dissent grew when he announced the Ironcranes would follow Shaoqiang Koda on his exodus over the mountains (which they still call Gods' Wall). Many Ironcranes expressed their desire to stay with the sukong and rebuild their homeland. During the journey, Kurz made up his mind to follow the will of his people, even if it led them to starvation. The cangshu marched back west, but Kurz stayed in the mountains and built Ironcrane Height, a new monastery where he lived out the rest of his days.
