MISC. INFO
Like her brother, Yagdurash prefers speaking in her native tongue: Modern Orcish. However, she tends to sound more “Nordic” when speaking Common and does not carry the thick accent that most Orcs do.
BACKGROUND.
Yagdurash, the youngest of the two siblings born to Chief Burguk, was a curious mind. Where many would focus on the politics of their tribe or the battles beyond, she took interest in the art of blacksmithing. As the stronghold’s chief blacksmith and armorer, Yagdurash poured her heart into crafting the finest weapons and armor for the warriors of Dushnikh Yal. Her creations were not just tools for battle—they were symbols of pride, imbued with the strength and spirit of their people. Her forge burned day and night, and her work was respected not only in her own stronghold but in many of the neighboring Orc strongholds.
Yagdurash's skills had made her promised to marry another warchief, resulting in a union that would have united two powerful families and ensured the stronghold’s continued dominance in the areas surrounding Markarth. But life had other plans. Her betrothed was slain in a skirmish, and soon after, her father, Chief Burguk, passed away. At the crossroads of tradition and independence, Yagdurash faced a choice: follow the path that had been set for her, or forge her own way. With a fierce determination and love for her people, Yagdurash chose the latter. Rather than marry and leave her stronghold to become the wife of another chief, she stayed. She chose to remain by her brother Shobol's side, taking on the mantle of protector and guide alongside Shobol. She was not just a blacksmith; she became a stalwart companion, ensuring that Dushnikh Yal had not only the weapons to defend itself but the leadership it needed to thrive. In the shadow of Shobol’s quiet strength, Yagdurash found her own power, a fierce, unyielding force that matched her brother’s in every way.
The bond between them was inseparable.
Where Shobol’s leadership was marked by strategy and diplomacy, Yagdurash's was in her craftsmanship and ability to inspire the warriors of Dushnikh Yal. Though they often found themselves in different roles, their partnership was the glue that held the stronghold together. When Shobol needed to leave Dushnikh Yal to maintain trade lines or forge new alliances, it was always Yagdurash at his side. Not only was she his personal bodyguard and protector, but she was also his most trusted advisor. She had a sharp mind, and while Shobol might have commanded the battlefield, it was often Yagdurash’s guidance that kept them safe in the political and social arenas.
Together, they traveled across Skyrim, visiting other Orsimer strongholds and forging bonds with cities like Markarth, where their stronghold’s reputation as skilled craftsmen and warriors ensured that trade agreements flourished. Yagdurash often took the opportunity to showcase her work, displaying the intricate designs of her weapons and armor, while Shobol met with leaders and ensured the flow of supplies to their home.
Their travels also served as a reminder of the unbroken strength of Dushnikh Yal. Though the civil war had divided Skyrim, the Bolhmnag family remained united—not just by blood, but by an unwavering devotion to their people, to their land, and to each other.
