Karaz-a-Karak and the High King
Thorgrim leads the Karaz-a-Karak faction. He carries the Great Book of Grudges, making the recovery of Dwarf power central to his identity. His campaign uses the shared Dwarf grudge systems: enemy wrongs create targets, and settling them contributes toward an Age of Reckoning.
Choose your next war with both grudges and territory in mind. A rich settlement is less useful if taking it leaves your existing holds exposed. The Deeps offer another place to invest: develop beneath an established settlement through its Great Gate while keeping an army ready above ground.
Keep the throne with the fighting line
Thorgrim is a melee commander borne on the Throne of Power. Put him where the infantry needs leadership and a strong character presence. Keep nearby troops involved so an enemy cannot surround the throne while the rest of your army fights elsewhere.
Dwarf Warriors can anchor the formation while Irondrakes work through open lanes. Give the flame troops a view of the enemy rather than burying them behind the king and a solid wall of friendly infantry.
Other ways to lead the Dwarfs
Ungrim emphasises Slayers, Thorek pursues lost artefacts, and Malakai builds his campaign around engineering adventures. Thorgrim offers the High King's perspective on the shared struggle to restore the holds. His biography explains why the Book matters to that task.
High King and the Book
Thorgrim is the Karaz-a-Karak lord from Total War: Warhammer, on the Throne of Power with the Great Book and the Axe of Grimnir. Ages of Reckoning and the Deeps are the shared Dwarf campaign. The 2022 list starts him at Karaz-a-Karak.
The novella Thorgrim and The Rise of the Horned Rat name him. One stops at Belegar's call for aid. The other is End Times fiction, kept on the book page. Ungrim, Belegar, Thorek, Grombrindal, and Malakai are the other Dwarf starts.
