[Khazâd-dûm] Khazâd Swordsmen image - DCI: Last Alliance mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms

Since the race of Khazâd were to come in the days of the power of Melkor the Morgoth, Aulë made the Dwarves strong to endure. Therefore they are stone-hard, stubborn, fast in friendship and in enmity, and they suffer toil and hunger and hurt of body more hardily than all other speaking peoples. This has been a great gain to them in the many wars against Orcs and other beasts and threats that assailed their lands since before the Sun had risen.
After Morgoth fell surviving Orcs came in vast numbers to the Misty Mountains, and the wars there have swayed back and forth. Dwarvens halls has been occupied and strongholds of the Orcs have been sacked in pitiless struggle, and there have been death and cruel deeds. But while the Dwarves have lost much ground they have never bent their knee or surrendered their claim, and through their strength, and their matchless weapons, and the fire of their anger they have secured their current realm and intend to retake what has been lost.
Chosen warriors of unyielding honour are equipped with swords and splendid armour by their chieftains, for this purpose. While they lack the edge of an axe stroke, the sword is a more dexterous arm and these craftsmen of warfare are highly skilled to take on any kind of opposition.
