Of the heroes who emerged from the catastrophic events of the Great War against Chaos, Bloodaxe stands tallest. Hailing from the great city of Arion, Bloodaxe was the general of the armies of that city during the Great War.

Having received word of the events to the west, Bloodaxe led his men west from Arion to the Old Forest north of Corda, who also sent forces to his aid. There they waited for the army of chaos to make its way east towards Arion and Corda. It is said that the angry spirits of the forest allowed them safe passage and shelter, and for a number of days they stayed there. From their position in the forest, Bloodaxe's forces ambushed the opposing force destroying its foreguard. Once emerged the forces of Arion then pressed forward into the fray and began battling the forces of evil. It has been written in some texts that it was a day's fighting. However, the Battlegrounds in Khul are many leagues across, and so large an area of land was not fought over in but a day. The fighting was over many battles and days at the end of which Bloodaxe was victorious. Upon his victory, he raced his men towards Kabesh, but far too late was his arrival for that city lay in ruins. However, such was the heroism of the man and his army, that they pressed on to the aid of distant Shakista. For many weeks they marched across the now ashen heartland of the continent until they came upon the rear of the Forces of Chaos. Their coming was as a second wind to the defenders of Shakista and the Forces of Evil were crushed. On the death of the King of Arion a number of years following the war, Bloodaxe was named his successor - for the King's sons had been killed in the war, and Bloodaxe had married the Princess Royal. To this day, the line of Bloodaxe still sits on the throne. Bloodaxe is commemorated across Khul and many streets, buildings and other features bear his name.
