The Axegrinders of Burning Forge were Dwarf Fighters released in Wave 9: Blackmoon's Siege - Heroes of the Moon Tribe. As this wave came out after Wizard of the Coast's acquisition of Heroscape and subsequent shutdown of updates to Heroscape.com, the Axegrinders' bio was written by then-Heroscape writer Colby Dauch but never released to the public, and so we know relatively little about these characters.[1]
