Empire of the Five Hammers

The Empire of the Five Hammers was a massive nation in the Age of Men'heva. When civil war broke out in Ironforge upon the death of Modimus Anvilmar, Men'heva intervened. The Anvilmar dynasty was put back in charge, but became simple puppets of the Prophet. Under his direction the dwarves became an imperial machine. Eventually the Frostborn clan of Northrend and the Skardyn clan of Grim Batol were absorbed. It became tradition for the reigning Anvilmar to take a wife from each clan.
The last Emperor of the Five Hammers was High Thane Hjalmar Anvilmar. His five wives were Bronzebeard Consort Moira Bronzebeard, Dark Iron Consort Modgud Thaurissan II, Wildhammer Consort Celia Wildhammer, Frostborn Consort Alflyse Icebellow and Skardyn Consort Kyshhra Yvhindd. While appearing powerful outwardly, in truth the dwarves were once more beginning to splinter. The Dark Iron clan had the largest rebel base under leader Dagran Thaurissan. The majority of the clan left the empire at Dagran's order and joined Jaina Proudmoore's Theramore Rebellion.
