Im done...My con was getting quite sickly there at the end with my various deaths and repetively walking into Thar-Acacia by accident.
Not good with farewells but I enjoyed all of you of the grove, but that spark for the character was not there anymore and would rather delete then continue on.

Thanks to Kahosarin for the empowerment, and twist to what I actually intended off hand..Though it worried me a bit afterward that the Sylvans would see me as unatural but worked out in the long run..

Thanks to Sal and Uller for the Lieutenant position and the faith, even though I feel I let you down in such in couple of ways..

Thanks Blimbali for your tutelage..

My role and desc...
Before you stands a creature dwarven in appearance and stature, yet and
closer look would reveal something far more. The dwarfs body compostion
appears to be made up of silicates and metals. His "hair" of the beard
and scalp is made entirely of fine metal filaments, of mithril and gold
hues of color. Silvery bushy brows twitch above eyes which appear to be
glittering but fully-functional deep-set gemstones, as they scan about
his surroundings curiously. His skin is earthen tone of dark brown, and
looks to be abrasive to the touch. His armors and weapons tend to lean
more towards those materials forged from the earth. Solid teeth, widen
and flat, are constantly chomping and grinding on rocks and crystalites.
Finally there is also and unusual, but very slight grinding noise that
accompanies his even slightest of movements and when in constant motion.

An oddity amongst his kin can only be the explanation for the dwarf known
as Dharum Rockbiter. Born and raised in the city of Akan, he was sent early
in his years to the mines in what would be a dwarfs adoloscent stage. Deep
into the mountains he and the miners ventured to sap into the riches of ore.
They noticed an unusual vein of mithril that glowed with a strange aura. The dwarves took this as a bad omen and sent the young Dharum to strike it first. Dharum stepped foreward reluctantly, but heaved his pick overhead and with a mighty blow tapped into the vein. Suddenly with a blinding flash Dharum was gone, as the other miners stared in disbelief. All of sudden a vortex opened overhead swirling violently, as the other dwarves were flung against the cavern walls. Out from the vortex plopped Dharum to the ground with a loud thud. The dwarves were amzed to see Dharum in one piece, yet he had aged far into the years and appeared to be something far more than normal. He seemed forged of minerals and metals and at one with the very earth around him. The dwarven populace thought him posseded and shunned him from Akan and closed the mine entirely so to not let is magic escape once again.

During the few seconds Dharum was gone he was actually gone for ages. Dharum had stumbled into a conduit or portal that reached into the combined Elemental Plane of Earth and the Quasiplane of Mineral. Thinking himself trapped, he had to slowly adapt not only to the way of life there, but also his physical form mutated to survive the harsh conditions. Even his blood changed, for when he engaged a crystal dragon in a drunken brawl he began to bleed pure mithril. His very skin hardened into a form of stone giving him enhanced protection then most of his race. The beings of that plane worshipped a deity known as Tsnng Suhn in which Dharum later adopted as his own religion. Once he returned to Thera, he later theorized that in fact this deity was actually the Dragon God, Kahosarin.

Dharum Rockbiter, as he is known now, is a priest of the Jade Dragon and protector and nurturer of the earth itself. Bringing war to those that would harm or disrupt the balance that flows through its veins. Strangely, an odd sense of ecology occurs when Dharum is in the process of consuming earth and other mineral, for it brings him strength and unity with the earth, as the two become one. It has become a religious reference for him and he never takes more than what is needed. He has a very close tie to the plane of earth and all spirits attuned to it, and treats both with an utmost respect and will defend it like it was one of his own children. Dharum hates the magi of conjuration and has proclaimed a war on there kind for bringing the spirits of earth to Thera against there will. He will attack any souless creature on sight not birthed of the soil or unnatural in spirit, giving no quarter and fighting to the death relentlessly. Dharum has been known to deal openly with the woodland spirits and the fae and sees them as siblings in his eyes. Dharum does not really get along with the cityf'''olk and sees them as a threat to the earth plundering its resources far than what is needed. At times he seems agitated around those he has grown to call "meat life", and "softies" and does so as little as possible, for he even though he can be wrong at times, he sees them as a weak form of life. Most common from his mouth referring to them is, "Softies, what gud are dey? Can't chomp a crystal, can't eat an onyx!!" He tends to warm more to the creatures of more hearty nature, as even they can possibley chomp on and ore or two......

role + The meeting with the Dragon Lord, Kahosarin was inevitable for Dharum, yet the
role + Jade one saw no interest in the words of Rockbiter and his pursuit in protecting
role + the earth. However as the Dragon soared off, the earth shook violently revealing
role + the presense of the Earth Ruler, for had been listoning with interest of Rockbiter's
role + intentions and felt his onesness with the earth. Offering Rockbiter the blessing of
role + the Earth if he turned away from the Dragon Lord, the Earth Ruler led Rockbiter
role + deep into the bowels of the earth. There the great spirit of the earth, judged the
role + one known as Rockbiter and approved of his endeavors, Granted the blessing
role + of the earth and deemed, Acolyte of Earth, he roamed the lands of Thera laying
role + a path of bloodshed against the rapers of the stone and those not born of the
role + earth. He learned of the various wilds and the herbs that would aid him in his war
role + and when the moon cycle would bring power to the stones.
role +
role + In time he would meet with the Warder Captain Alysrith, and speak unto her his
role + wish to run with the pack. Alysrith saw much Weh in his appearance and was at
role + first apprehensive with Rockbiter's company, yet when asked to come defend
role + the grove against pit scum, Rockbiter took his first step in winning over the faith
role + of the Captain. Fending off two drow single handedly, Rockbiter send there vile
role + remains to the earthen soil to be judged and then the Captain saw Sra within.
role + Yet he still looked like Weh, and was sent off to speak to a lord of the grove so
role + that his spirit be judged. In the mean time Rockbiter met with the Earth Ruler yet
role + again and spoke of his triumphs for the earth, and was given domain over the
role + very mountains of Thera, as their priest.
role +
role + Rockbiter finally met with the Avatar of the Storms, Saldradrien thusly having his
role + spirit weighed was given entrance to the Warders so to run as one with the pack.
role + In time Rockbiter brought the force of the earth against the defilers of the earth
role + sheding there blood and giving his very own blood for the grove. He learned from
role + others of the pack and in time whispers heard through the trees that the Captain
role + and the Lieutenant Blimbali thought fondly of Rockbiter. Then a growing point for
role + Rockbiter occured when the Lieutenant and a wolf Stelensia were under siege by
role + the foul Tribunal horde when Rockbiter rushed to their aid to mend their wounds.
role + Stelensia surely would have fallen if not for Rockbiter, but her spirit remained strong.
role + The Avatar told Rockbiter he wished to speak with him and was quickly transported
role + into the eye of the very Storms. There he acknowledged Rockbiter's progress and
role + offered more responsibilty within the pack. Accepting this show of faith, Rockbiter
role + agreed and was to watch over the wolves and lead them from just near the head
role + of the pack, as a fellow Lieutenant with Blimbali. Rockbiter would speak with young
role + wolves who showed interest with the grove and in time would be given the insight
role + to strengthen the spirit of the young cubs to run along with his fellow wolves.
role +
role + Rockbiter has come full circle in a ritual known as the "Blooded Wolf", given half his
role + spirit to the earth's protection he slowly becoming more at one with the stone and
role + fuana, as his appearance growing more abrasive and vines seemingly sprouting out
role + from various regions of his body. His oneness brings protection from the stone and
role + his blessing bringing forth the power of the mountains. His briars, a trade mark and a
role + thing of beauty to Rockbiter has given him interest in finding the right nutrient from
role + the earth so that there thorns may sprout hard so to surround the grove and his wolves
role + in protective wall against the defilers who would poison spirit of the sapling within.
