[Khazâd-dûm] Orocarni Archers (AoR mercenaries) image - DCI: Last Alliance mod for Medieval II: Total War: Kingdoms

In the Orocarni, the Red Mountains, in the far east the fathers of the Ironfists and Stiffbeards, Blacklocks and the Stonefoots awoke and there their realms were founded. Little is known about these kindreds among other folks in the West but between the houses of the Khazâd the communication has always been upheld. At Mount Gundabad where Durin awoke, revered first of all the Ancestors of their race, they often held assemblies of delegates before it was captured by the Orcs, and at great need or when great dishonour is afflicted upon them the Houses have supported each other in war.
Companies of battle hardened warriors have marched west as the rumour of war has reached them, and though the Dwarves ever demand a price for their services, whether with delight or with toil, at this time they are considered well worth the price. Their kin in the West have soldiers with basic training who carry a bow, but in the Orocarni where the relationship with the Easterlings is old and firm the Dwarves have taken up the composite bow. This allows their range to be greater and their impact more deadly, even if they still lack the accuracy of folk who hunt and train since childhood.
A boon for the Khazâd armies, yet dark rumours claim that some Orocarni companies by force or greed also offer their service to the Dark Lord's armies.
