Description and Background
Description:
A stout looking dwarf, nearly as broad as he is tall, with orange hair and an ornately braided beard. Hrothgar wears a simple woolen cloak over well worn but serviceable steel armor bearing faint traces of enameling that give hint to long history. Hrothgar is usually of good humor, moreso with a tankard of ale in his grip, but is a fierce warrior in the face of danger.
Background:
Hrothgar is a former shield dwarf of the Hasselblat clan, hailing from the Greyholm Keep of the Bluecap mountains. As prospects for the younger members of Hasselblat were rather uninspiring, in a lesser house of Greyholm, Hrothgar and two of his cousins, Heimdal and Tyr, made a pact to strike out on their own and eventually establish their own clan home where better prospects might be found. The three cousins have ranged far and wide, sometimes together, sometimes apart, seeking their fortune (and some measure of fame). They have a tradition of holding reunion every three years in the town of Gulbers for prodigious amounts of ale and tall tales. Their last reunion was short one cousin and word from Heimdal that Tyr had died a glorious hero's death while battling a troll on their latest adventure. |
