The original Grymforge fortress was built in an unknown age by a group of Sharran followers. Those Sharrans used the fortress for approximately eight hundred years, after which it was abandoned. Grymforge was not re-inhabited until [[Ketheric Thorm]]'s [[Dark Justiciar]] army were brought in to rebuild it. <ref> | The original Grymforge fortress was built in an unknown age by a group of Sharran followers.

After this, the Grymforge served as a base of operations for Ketheric and his Justiciars. Among these Sharrans was Silouv Yali, a gnome well known for his wizarding talents.

As well, he conjured [[Grym]], a construct who protects the forge. <ref> | After this, the Grymforge served as a base of operations for Ketheric and his Justiciars.
