Character: Tordek Gorunn, Dwarf Fighter
Tordek was born into the Gorunn clan, a prominent clan among the dwarven hierarchy, known well for its proud armorsmiths and warriors. Prominent, until one fateful day.
Across the dwarven kingdoms times were for the most part peaceful. Higher clans and lower clans would squabble some, but bloodshed was a rare sight… until strange happenings began occurring.
Many clans became more hostile towards each other, accusing one another of foul play. Tordek did not feel any wish to participate in those politics and stayed in the forge most of the days.
Then tragedy struck. Until that day, Tordek only had his eyes set on becoming the greatest armorsmith this world had ever seen. But life had other plans.
In the middle of the night, Tordek awoke to a scream. Rushing from his slumber he headed towards the source of the noise, his mother's quarters. In the darkness he saw his mother, killed, the killing blade still in her neck. On the other end of the blade stood an elf clad in dark with his face obscured, the only outstanding feature being the engraved blade in his hand. The assassin fled, leaving behind a distraught Tordek. On that night, many clans were attacked leaving dwarves confused, angry, and grieving.
That night the balance of power shifted as prominent figures of each clan were slain. Determined, Tordek wanted to know what happened and began investigating, but soon after he started receiving threats. He noticed that anyone who questioned the new balance of power simply disappeared.
Ten years passed and Tordek clan fell into poverty. Tordek had no choice but to leave the dwarven kingdom in search for the assassins and their dark employers. One of the clans had instigated a coup and they would pay for it. He hired himself as a mercenary to an elven bard, as well as meeting a human wizard along the way. These two eventually became his greatest allies in his travels.
