Role

Chapter 1

I am Cardum Drumcrusher, the son of Gargrim Drumcrusher and Lorenda
Gemgifted. My last name was bestowed on my great-great-grandfather Ioner
Drum Crusher for his valor against Smeargrin Broken-fang, a short-lived
orc chieftain who attempted to pillage the city of Akan.

My grandfather brought his family to Galadon when my da was toddling
to establish a logging enterprise in the Feanwyn Weald and Silverwood,
with designs on expanding into the Emerald Forest. He died when my da
barely had his full growth, but my da was able to keep the business from
goin under, even if he has not yet been able to realize his father's
dream.

His dream wasna my dream, and so while I earned many callouses in the
Weald, my heart wasna in makin family fortune.
