Kurgen Featherbeard

Kurgen Featherbeard was an oddity amongst the dwarven race. Though the Wildhammers always had an affinity for nature, Kurgen took that one step further and travelled to Caer Darrow, answering what the Druids of Caer Darrow named the Call of the Wise. There, he trained to become a druid himself. After his training was complete, he returned to Ironforge to become the Thane of the Wildhammer Clan. When the Highthane became ill, Kurgen did all he could to maintain the peace. Eventually, he set out to find Relgast Anvilmar, the Highthane's only son. Relgast had fled Ironforge on a quest similar to Kurgen's; to experience nature. Kurgen found Relgast in Cary'leh, the raptor city, where he was being worshipped as a deity. When Relgast was poisoned, Kurgen took him to his old friends in Caer Darrow where he was healed. Gathering a party of allies, amongst them Skirvar Thaurissan, Saldor Shallowbrook, Cerzimon, Urel Wildhammer, Rinal Sourlan and Folca Eaconberth, Kurgen returned to Ironforge to restore the peace.
He saw Relgast become Highthane after his father's death. After Siolfor Blackhammer replaced the late Skirvar as Black Iron thane, he invited Kurgen and Bolverk to Port Baradin. This angered the supercriminal called Facade, who killed the three thanes using the power of the Ancient Oculus.
