Traits:
(1) I tend to compensate for my average intelligence by using my strength.
Raised in a temple to Moradin, I was kept busy with manual labor because
my mediocre aptitude for religious training made me a less likely candidate
for the clergy than other, quicker pupils. I ended up learning more in the
streets and shops behind the temple than I did "between pulpit and pew."
(2) Also, I was charged with helping to rebuild the worship of Moradin in
the north, where a real priest or cleric would have no congregation and no
temple building, but where a devout dwarf who openly worships Moradin might
slowly be able to lead others to do the same through sheer force of example.
Ideal: "Pertinacity": I keep hoping that that word means more than I have been
lead to believe, and that the timely application of our energies in the
right directions, pertaining to the right subjects, and in the right places
at the right times, will make for a better world for dwarves to live in.
Bond: I owe my life to the priest who took me in when my parents died.
Flaw: I am at least as comfortable with instant opportunism as I am with
Moradin's Law. (This
does mean that my "sheer force of example" might not
be quite as "sheer" as those who bestowed my religious charge might like.)
