Leadbrow

About House Leadbrow
House Leadbrow is a Great House of Skjöld and is called the "Royal House" as it is the house ruled by King Björni Leadbrow. It was Björni Leadbrow who first broke the surface during the Quest for Sky. Although Thornibal the Mighty, Björni's younger brother, won the right of kingship by defeating the elves at the battle of Golden Hill, Björni was granted the Kingship in exchange for his support of the Thornibal Pact which made elves the public property of all dwarves.

House Leadbrow is known for its mines. As Björni encouraged the dwarves to strive for the surface he made sure to claim tunnels that looked like promising sources of precious metals and jewels.

House History
House Leadbrow was founded by King Björni Leadbrow who took on his surname after a piece of lead ore fell from the ceiling of one of the tunnels during the Quest for Sky and landed on his brow. It was Björni who first saw the light of the sun when he broke the surface at the end of the quest for sky. After the battle of Golden Hill he was declared King.
