The Kharadron Overlords are duardin pioneers who left their traditional mountain strongholds to take to the skies. In massive skyvessels—airships powered by aether-gold—they build flying cities called sky-ports, from which they conduct trade, war, and exploration.

Their society is governed by the Kharadron Code—a set of laws that emphasizes pragmatism, commercial profit, and technological progress. They are secular, relying on science and engineering instead of divine magic. Every captain, navigator, and endrinmaster has a clearly defined role in the fleet's hierarchy.

On the battlefield, the Kharadron Overlords rely on mobility, firepower, and tactics. Their units include Arkanauts, Skywardens, Endrinriggers, and the elite Grundstok Thunderers. The fleets are often led by legendary heroes like Brokk Grungsson or Drekki Flynt.
