Durak has travelled to Sharn to see the great Temple of the Sovereign Host there, as he has grown tired of his (mostly) humorless kindred in the Mror Holds. Besides, when he last tried to preach at one of the holds, he encountered a dwarf who despised his faith. After the insults grew viscious, Durak took it upon himself to "re-educate" the dwarf on the perils of being struck by large metal objects (this is how Durak will describe the incident!). Turns out, the dwarf was a brother to a member of the Aurum, and Durak was forced to flee. Hearing that Sharn was a good place to "get lost", he made his way here, arriving two weeks ago.
