Biography

Korono Axestriker (formerly Koron Axestriker) is a true son of Ironforge.  From an early age, he inspired to be a warrior and to defend Ironforge from all threats.  As he was coming to age, the Dark Portal reopened & many of Azeroth’s heroes traveled to Outland to stop the Burning Crusade.  Korono was among the ones who stayed behind initially, taking care of threats closer to home.  It was during this time he met a Draenei named Talekkane, and together the formed the Sojin, “Hunters of the Dark”.  The Sojin, including Korono, traveled to various ends of Azeroth taking care of any threats they found.  When a call for reinforcements came from Outland, Korono was one of the first of a new batch of heroes to make their way to Outland.  Korono was the first representative of the Sojin in Outland & he represented them well, taking care of threats he found out there.  But, he returned to Azeroth as well to help the other Sojin & also had several tours of duty in Alterac Valley during this time.   When the call went out about the formation of the Shattered Sun Offensive & the taking of the Isle of Quel’Danas, Korono was one of the first to hit the beach in the Offensive.  He helped secured the island while others took care of the crisis at the Sunwell.  After the offensive, he returned to Ironforge & met Anji Fa, a young Paladin in training and fell in love.  But, before the marriage could take place, the Scourge struck.  Korono worked to defend Ironforge during the Invasion, and when the Scourge was turned back, he joined the task force heading to Northrend to take on the Lich King.  Korono landed in Howling Ford and was on the frontlines fighting through Northrend.  He helped secure the Argent Tournament Grounds and helped set it up.  After he had become a Champion of Ironforge, he was summoned back to Ironforge by Talekkane.  They had a falling out over the direction of the Sojin and Korono left along with Dawyn Morningstar (who had other reasons to leave).  While back in Ironforge, Korono married Anji Fa and changed his name to Korono (he was Koron up to this point).  Korono returned to Northrend & participated in the Argent Tournament.  It was during this time he joined Gods of Brutality and with them, fought in the Argent Tournament, earning a spot as one of Azeroth’s Champions for the assault on Icecrown Citadel.  Once again, Korono was on the front line in the assault on Icecrown Citadel.  While fighting in the Pit of Saron, he found a Battered Hilt that turned out to be what was left of Quel’Delar, a mighty Elven sword. He set out and restored the sword, carrying it in battle throughout the rest of the Northrend Campaign (even though he prefers axes).  It was around this time a group split off from Gods of Brutality to form Righteous Vindication, and he joined with them.  As usual, Korono charged his way with Righteous Vindication into Icecrown Citadel, and downed the Lich King.  Afterwards, he joined Operation: Gnomergan, once again on the front lines to help the Gnomes retake their homeland.  Sometime later, he moved back to Ironforge and helped with the investigation in Stormwind into cultist activity that turned out to be the Twilight Hammer.  He then headed back to Ironforge and to try and help stabilize the city after the recent political upheaval (and he’s not a big Moira Bronzebeard fan and vocal about it).  With Deathwing’s return bringing about a Cataclysm to all of Azeroth, Korono is consulting with Righteous Vindication and preparing for another campaign.

Personality

Korono is a brash warrior, once tending to charge in recklessly.  As he has become a more accomplished warrior, his recklessness has tempered.  Let, he is always itching for a fight.  He is loyal to his causes, Ironforge being his number one loyalty.  Like most dwarves, he can be a bit quick tempered and loves his Dwarven Ale.
