For generations, the dwarf Viking kingdom of Monopoly lived peacefully in the Septem Mountains.

The dwarven kingdom was once a simple village with a Jarl. Jarl Fritz the Great. Jarl Fritz has 2 sons. Olaf & Danseptem.

Olaf was the older of the brothers. Olaf was a very selfish & brutal guy. He took everything he liked without ifs & buts.

Danseptem was the stronger & smarter of the two. He knew how to get something and what he had to do for it.

That's the way it has always been. The two brothers fought very often for the inheritance of the king. Sometimes until guards had to stop them from killing each other.

Danseptem was the more popular of the two. He got the most beautiful women & was a very good lover. He married a young dwarf woman and they had 2 healthy children. A son & a daughter.

Olaf on the other hand just took the women & enslaved them as his wives.

The Viking dwarves liked to enslave others to work in the mines or harvest the fields, for example.

The village of Monopoly was very rich at this time as they robbed many other villages & towns and bought/ sold their slaves.

The Viking Dwarves thus made a name for themselves and were able to build an awesome rank. Even such a big name that even the neighboring dwarf kingdom Septem became aware of Monopoly. Jarl Fritz the Great & King Neck Muscle the First quickly became good allies. Through their alliance, the forces of Jarl Fritz the Great & King Neckmuscle the First became very large & powerful.

Together they overran all orc strongholds & enslaved the survivors.

Some orcs escaped & then alerted other orc strongholds.

After one of the biggest raids in the history of the dwarves, almost broke the alliance between the king Neckmuscle & Jarl Fritz. Jarl Fritz then swore death to King Neckmuscle. So almost a huge civil war broke out between both parties. Jarl Fritz the Great challenged King Neckmuscle the First to a duel. It was about the crown & the rule of the alliance. Jarl Fritz & King Neckmuscle fought for seven days that finally ended with King Neckmuscle's death. This made Jarl Fritz the new and undisputed King of the Septem & Monopoly Empire.

The new King Fritz the Great expanded his kingdom very prosperously and built the great kingdom of Monopoly in the Septem Mountains.

Since then, small wars between the dwarves & the orcs ruled again and again.

In one battle, the queen was kidnapped by a greedy orc clan named Sancho. Queen Regina. The mother of Olaf & Danseptem. The orcs demanded a lot of ransom for the queen.

The king was too battered by the battles that he himself could not free the queen. Only the brothers were able to free the queen from the clutches of the orcs. The brothers made plans how the force could free the queen.

Olaf all along wanted to gain sole power over the force to gain more fame & power. Between the two brothers sparked a word skirmish that almost ignited into a fight between the two. In the end, both brothers pulled themselves together and started another war between the dwarves and the orcs.

The machines of the dwarves were able to destroy the barricades of the orcs & thus the dwarves invaded the great orc fortress. Olaf sought out the leader of the orcs, with Danseptem seeking out the queen.

The dwarves were able to loot much treasure & slaves.

The queen was guarded by many guards. Danseptem and his men overpowered the guards with ease and were able to free the queen. When Danseptem & the Queen Regina came to the main entrance, they saw Olaf fighting the orc leader Don Sancho. Don Sancho was far superior to Olaf and so was able to take Olaf down. When the queen saw this, she fainted. Danseptem took the body of Olaf & the queen and put them both in a dwarven chariot.

Danseptem swore revenge against Don Sancho & both fought very hard & brutally. In the end Danseptem won the superiority and could give Don Sancho the coup de grace.

Heavily wounded yet victorious, Danseptem & his force returned to the kingdom of Monopoly.

Danseptem was now the sole heir to the throne & the queen was saved.

When Olaf's men told the king the story that Danseptem had brutally killed Olaf in the back, the king could not believe what he heard. Danseptem was imprisoned. Since the King & Queen were too weak to make a decision, the Council of Hammers was convened to mete out just punishment to Danseptem.

It has always been a tradition. Once the Council of Hammers was convened, even royal families no longer had state power.

Olaf's men were so devious that the truth was never revealed. They wanted Olaf's only son to be the new heir to the throne.

Even the queen was not believed as she was apparently too weak & declared insane.

The council banished Danseptem & his family from the kingdom. They deprived him & his family of the right of nobility.

So Danseptem had to find a new home for his family. They wandered for days through mountains & lands until they found a poor dwarven village. Through its general popularity & fame, the Danseptems quickly gained recognition and were able to build a small farm there. They continued to live as farmers until Danseptem traveled to the Nation of Skjoldrbrodir.
