Flintbornes

The Flintbornes are a clan of gnomes in Copperforge. They are master miners; their family is the one that first harnessed the power of the seed and built the first disc. Their family motto is "We Are the Spark." Their crest is a red circle.

Bak and Iris Flintborne traveled to mine the remains of the Sahlite that fell over Copperforge. They took with daughter Prehna with them because they planned to move their family to Raufel after they completed this expedition. However, they were murdered by the cultist of Kloht. Prehna was raised by the Iron Horn band and given the name Starheart.

Seventeen years later, Starheart met members of her family that remained in Copperforge: her parents' second cousin Pyrus and his wife, Silversheen, and their children: a set of twins (Nexus and Axis) and their son Klack. Pyrus is able to polish the gem Starheart wears around her neck and gives her a bracer with the family's crest. He also agrees to help Ora with her rebellion against the Queen, directing her to secret tunnel that can lead to a weapon stockpile. Klack volunteers to go with Starheart and Ora on their scouting mission against Kurluk.

The Flintbornes agree to use their knowledge of the mountain and secret tunnels to help in the defense of the city. The the city comes under attack by the orcs, the Flintbornes rally to its defense. During the battle, Klack is struk and pinned by a large boulder. The healers are forced to amputate his leg and Starheart goes with him back into the mountain. Once inside, Starheart convinces them to take Klack and evacuate the mountain through the Peak Gate.

As the party follows the evacuees, they see several gnomes drained of blood by the vampires. Some have the Flintborne insignia, but they do not see Klack. Klack is taken to Thatchweed and has his legs regrown by Jerrot Valmir. Klack is initially disappointed about losing his legs and having them replaced by unnatural ones, but he is convinced by Starheart and Ora to cheer up and travel north to the Steamfang Mountains with them. After a long and dangerous journey, they arrive in Gilborn.

Pyrus, Silversheen, Nexus, and Axis Flintborne's whereabouts are unknown after the battle of Copperforge.
