Hearthguards

Hearthguard warriors represent the martial heritage of the dwarf kingdoms of Mounthaven. Armed with a traditional war axe and a heavy shield, they are among the most dependable defensive infantry units in dwarf armies. Their primary duty is fortress protection and the defense of key strategic locations. Training focuses on disciplined formations, resistance to enemy charges, and precise close-range strikes, allowing them to hold positions effectively during prolonged engagements.
