History

The eldest of the three Bronzebeard brothers, Magni was destined to be the king under the mountain. Strong of arm and keen of mind, Magni loved his two brothers above all else in the world.

He was one of the heroes during the second war, often directly leading his people into battle.^{APG 167} Upon the liberation of Ironforge by the forces of the Alliance he pledged his kingdom's support, his two brothers accompanying the Alliance host.

During the recent fall of Lordaeron, his middle brother, Muradin, was reportedly slain by the death knight Prince Arthas in Northrend. Magni was overcome with grief at the news of Muradin's demise, but he and the youngest brother, Brann, remained steadfast in their desire to continue serving the dwarven people.

Brann, an explorer of some renown, went missing only months ago, and King Magni had lost hope that he still lived. Though he remains a wise and strong leader, his pain and sorrow weigh heavily upon him. Many dwarves wonder whether the kingdom will ever see another Bronzebeard sitting on the throne of Ironforge. Recently, the intrepid Brann popped up once more, seeming to have survived his Silithus venture and somehow getting the base of Atiesh into C'thun's otherworldly carapace. Much to Magni's dismay and a series of agonized groans from the Explorer's League, Brann has again managed to misplace himself within Outland and recently again in Northrend.

King Magni's only child, Moira Bronzebeard, was recently captured by Emperor Dagran Thaurissan, and is now under a magical charm spell, serving the evil emperor without question. Thaurissan made her fall in love with him, and together, they have conceived a child. Much to the kingdom's despair, Magni's grand heir will apparently be a dwarf who is both the heir of the King of Ironforge and the Emperor of Blackrock.

In recent times Magni has diplomatically approached Stormwind for assistance against the ever increasing Dark Iron threat, citing their destruction and control of the Thandol Span. Much to his frustration, his pleas have fallen on deaf ears. While Bolvar concurs with the dwarven king, Lady Katrana Prestor, advisor to the recently returned King Varian, accuses Magni of trying to involve Stormwind in the dwarves' personal war, and refuses to send reinforcements. Unbeknownst to Magni, the king is an imposter, a tool of Katrana's.

Response to Princess Moira Bronzebeard's revelation

<King Magni Bronzebeard is visibly upset.>

It seems that even in death, Thaurissan has won.

You are dismissed, <name>. Before you leave, you may choose your reward from the royal vault.

<King Bronzebeard slumps into his throne to mull over this bizarre change of events.>
