Durthu
"Ahksi-do-ka-koh (axe-wielding filth!)"
- – Durthu, utilizing reverse Dwarf diplomacy.
"Wu-kah-koh,fu-du-dah-truk-Dwarfs! (My heart is rotten with hatred for all Dwarfs!)"
- – Durthu, telling Dwarf diplomats to suck his tree root.
Durthu, also known as "Oakheart" when directly translated from Elvish, was one of the many ancient treeman born in Athel Loren, but angrier, mostly towards Dwarfs because those hairy, short-footed, axe-wielding scum hacked him long ago.
In the Beginning
Back when the world has not yet invaded by Chaos, Athel Loren was a peaceful place and treemans was much nicer. Only the Elves from Ulthuan visited the damned place and may have a few untold orgy with the local tree creatures. Durthu during that time was much nicer too, teaching the Elves how to care for trees and other hippy shits.
the first Chaos invasion
When the polar gate at the North collapse and Chaos demons began slaughtering everything that moves (as well as any immobilized lifeforms like trees), Athel Loren's far expanding roots that had reached across the globe were burned and chewed by the demons. Durthu and his kind fought side by side with the Elves at not only in Athel Loren, but also at the heart of Ulthuan: Avelorn where similar magical forest resides. To the demons, Durthu and his kind were considered a similar existence like demons so they were "afraid of them"? that they think is much better to go for the Elves for their juicy souls. In order to protect her children, Astarielle, the first Everqueen asked Durthu to protect her heirs in exchange for Elven workers help tending the trees of Athel Lorens. As soon as an agreement was made, Everqueen was slain by N'kari while Durthu took off to Athel Loren with her two brats: Morelion and Yvraine. When Durthu returned, he find out the forest he knew and loved was ravaged by war. His kin have now embrace the concept of xenophobia for the first time and have transform them into hateful tree creatures suited for battle. His two treeman friend: Coeddil (Drycha's racist buddy) and Adanhu also adapt to the change that they demands the two brats Durthu had bought to be slain. However, Durthu basically told his two buddy to calm their roots down and even convinced Adanhu to change his mind (unsurprisingly, Coeddil did not). Adanhu agreed to Durthu's decision, only if the two brats were to put to sleep in a magical slumber (aka magical cryo-chamber) until Ulthuan and Athel Loren is rebuilt. And so the heir of Astarielle survived. Unknown to the two however, their father Aenarion would start a second family out of despair from the loss of Astarielle and his two children (or he thought) as well as having the sword of Khaine sapping his sanity, providing more tragedies that is about to come.
Fuck you Dwarfs and Malekith
After the two brats' return, Yvraine became the everqueen and Morelion became her guard. Durthu during this time was busy repairing Athel Lorens. The forest is now a lot smaller thanks to the demons ruined all its roots around the globe. Durthu also has the desire to rebuilt Avelorn, but is too busy to do so. A large amount of time passes until Malekith defects from the High Elves, created the Dark Elves and instigate the War of the Beard that would spark the most deadly bloodshed in Warhammer history. After the war ended with Phoenix king's death, many other Elves at Athel Loren declared independence, but the Dwarfs don't gives a shit about that and came righting their grudges and spending their remaining anger at the Elves of Athel Loren. Unfortunately for the treemans of Athel Loren, it is winter time when the Dwarfs invade and trees don't react well to cold weathers. Dwarfs at that time fatally wounded Durthu, which sparks his inner hatred for all Dwarfs as well as their axes. The Dwarfs was however driven off by the Elves with their run and shoot tactics, making the slow yet tired Dwarfs to rage quit back to their mountain holds. This conflict sparks even more racism and xenophobia from the treenmans that Adanhu and Coeddil is loudly arguing in front of the Elves about their fate. Tired and painful from the Dwarf axe attack, Durthu is silent during the debate and he no longer trust his own judgement. With a little help from Ariel, the Elves are now officially citizens of the forest, forming the Wood Elves faction where they now took care of forest with them being cared of by the forest in return. Durthu is however grumpy and grim about all of these due to being traumatize by the wars and hatred. Although he is still more cool headed compare to his treeman brothers, he is now more suited to war and hatrd than ever, wield a gigantic sword that made Gut's look pale in comparison while fashioning himself with the skulls of his enemies. Beastman, Dwarfs, Chaos, Orcs, Undeads, Vampires and Bretonnians, fuck em, FUCK THEM ALL.
