Torngar

Torngar

Torngar reigns over the Mountain Dwarves from his seat at Highhold. He is a gruff old man, but skilled in the arts of statecraft and war. In his youth he spent his time with a group of dragon-slaying adventurers, but he has long since settled down. Additionally, as wielder of the Fierce Axe of Dwarvish Lords, Torngar rules and commands all dwarves.

When the Fierce Axe of Dwarvish Lords was reclaimed from the Xorians a Kingsmoot was called. Torngar invited the other Kings to the Mountain Dwarf capital of Highhold. The meeting was held there to decide which of them would wield the Fierce Axe and preside over a united dwarven people. Torngar won the Axe by promising aid for the Alliance to King Dainlin, the Generalship of the army to Deekgaon, and the reclamation of the Duergar homelands to Sandil.

The dwarven army assembled in the Underdark. They pushed into the West and reclaim the tunnels taken over by the Xorians and their undead creatures. King Deekgaon led the vanguard as promised with Torin providing divine support. The war in the Underdark continued after the Second Alliance War’s conclusion. Torngar led his people to success in the end and their ancestral homes were reclaimed. A period of peaceful reconstruction followed before new forces threatened the united Dwarven Kingdom.

Seiya tells us about his TTRPG system and setting, Synesthesia Synthetica (SNS). SNS is a biopunk game adjacent to the cyberpunk and steampunk genres. After an asteroid induced climate disaster, Earth has rebuilt itself using bio-technology instead of the metal based tech that surrounds us in the real world. Genetically modified humans have split into distinct species and mutant horrors prowl the wastes outside civilization. The rich rule from their space stations up above but resistance is growing in the streets below.During the episode we discussed a piece of art that Seiya had made for the game. A picture of that bio-tank is available for you to look at.At the moment, Synesthesia Synthetica is available for free as an early access game on itch.io and DriveThruRPG.If you want to learn more or find a group to play with, you can do that on the Synesthesia Synthetica Discord.Remember to nominate your favorite TTRPG shows/creators/things for the 2026 CRIT Awards!Check out the Setting the Stage website!Want to be on the show?
