Role

Chapter 3

Kernagor is a very unusual dwarf, in many ways. He's known it since
childhood. He's never really enjoyed brawling, though he did participate in
the hundreds of obligatory fights a young male dwarf gets into almost as a
matter of routine. His temper was difficult to rouse -- most of the time as a
child he was a rather mild dwarf. He was far too clever by half,
orchestrating some of the most notorious pranks in clan history (although he
usually got caught in the end). And worst of all, he never acquired a taste
for drinking alcohol.

No, that last part was a joke. Kernagor regards ale as just about as the
holiest thing in his life, far more essential than other things people put
value on. Like breathing.

But despite this similarity, it was clear he was very different from his kin.
Now, before you inquire as to what is so strange about this, allow me to
remind you that the Koldflame clan was a clan of dwarves. And not only were
they dwarves, but they were FAMOUS among dwarves for their hot-blooded
behavior. And since your average dwarf can go berserk three times in two
seconds when his blood's a-roaring, let me assure you that this clan was
particularly rowdy, even for dwarves. It was typical for a Koldflame to
declare a quest of some sort upon coming of age. Usually these goals were
something akin to gI be slayin three hunderd orcs while drunk with one hand
tied behind me back,h or gI be findin a DRAGON to gut wid me father's
father's father's second cousin's axe. While drunk.h

However, Kernagor announced he was going to study at a famous elven academy
in Darsylon. While drunk, of course.

Role

Chapter 2

The reasons for this desire go deeper than simple differences. The Koldflame
clan, despite their reputation for rowdiness, was a clan strongly affiliated
with the holy dwarven wars against the exiles. Almost every Koldflame in
existence had cleaned duergar blood off his axe a few times in his or her
life, and the more restless ones had even journeyed off to join the Fortress
of the Light or the armies under Ludan, where they quickly accrued fame and
honor for their clan. Every night, the clan loremaster would tell legends of
great heroes and epic battles, of the crusades against evil and the mighty
accomplishments of their clan.

The Koldflame took enormous pride in their legacy, and there was constant
pressure on the youngsters to do even better, go even further. This
manifested in a rigorous combat regimen. Kernagor received his first weapon,
a tiny but beautifully forged hammer, at the age of three, long before he
learned to walk. Growing up, Kernagor found it difficult to reconcile his
differences with the clan's strict martial training. He didn't like the
dependence on berserk fury emphasized in the clan's fighting styles, and he
and the clan weaponsmaster argued many times about it. Being dwarves, by
arguing we mean brawling, and his clan's weaponsmaster being the clan
weaponsmaster, this meant Kernagor on the ground, in the dirt, with a couple
of dozen new bruises for the next few days.

And he changed. In response to this lifestyle, Kernagor became harder,
colder, more difficult to provoke (exactly the opposite of what his
instructors wanted from him). He refused to fight pointless battles, and
would employ his mind first, rather than his fists.

Role

Chapter 1

Upon reaching Darsylon, Kernagor had already made the decision to renounce
the typical Koldflame war doctrine (gto hell with fancy plans, jest bloody
GUT them!h), and decided to develop his understanding of war in a different
way. At Darsylon, despite his occasional about of drunkenness, he studied
(briefly) with a renowned arial captain half his age, and a brilliant elven
warmaster with experience in hundreds of battles, and slowly refined a system
of fighting more suited to his cool, clever, and calculating mind. Oh, and he
grew far more articulate than your average dwarf. The elves were very strict
on that.

However, Kernagor has never lost some of the ideals which were instilled upon
him in his clan -- the ultimate desire to win, to triumph with good over evil,
and earn his clan renown and recognition. In fact, his differences with his
kinsmen made Kernagor only more determined to succeed, to prove that his way
would work. No, to prove that his way was BETTER than the way the clan wanted
him to take.
