Chapter 5

Gloomp has come a long way from the Galadon refuse heaps. Thinking
there were no surviving members of his family, he took what the
Warrior Guildmaster told him to heart, developed a keen hatred of
'witches', and found his way into the village. He likes the village
greatly, and though he doesn't have a hut proper, he has burrowed
himself out a nice..nest?..of sorts near the latrines and waste piles
of the Village, hoarding old junked weapons, armor, food, trophies,
and 'witch bits'.

Gloomp was brought into the village under unusual circumstances. He
wanted to go to the Lyceum because he was told that learning the
history of the Village would help him become a part of it. He couldn't
really find anyone in the lyceum to tell him about village history,
just a lot of books. While he was there though, he encountered an
individual that at once brought him a sense of peace and comfort,
reminding him of home. An ash covered dwarf, who called himself a
traveler. He smelled like a true dwarf, and he claimed he had the Head
of the Village on his person, Gloomp attempted to wrestle it away.
Gloomp found the muscles beneath the cloak of the individual as
unyielding as stone, and has always wondered who this dwarf was and
where he came from. Gloomp caught his scent on the wind once near
Akan, acrid metallic smoke, old fires, ale, and battle. He followed
his nose and ended up at a massive smithy. Gloomp took an interest in
blacksmithing and forging then and there, and has attempted to smash
bits of metal himself more than a time or two. Usually he ends up
flattening the hell out of metal and taking it to his lair and
forgetting about what he was doing due to sensing witches nearby that
require some good dying.

Gloomp is far too simple to actively worship a God, or even to know
its something he's able to do. As he interacts more with the rest of
the world though and less with Gully dwarves, he catches on to how
things are and accepts them if they fit, so religion for Gloomp isn't
an impossibility and would likely prove..entertaining to say the
least.

In summation Gloomp is Gloomp. He is simple, smelly, courageous, slow
but cunning, and seeks to better the world by getting rid of
individuals that have the power to bring destruction to Thera, be it
landfills or continents.
