[QUOTE="saFire, post: 475176, member: 4266"] [b]Diesa's Character History[/b] Hi everyone, Sorry I have posted lately; I've been kinda busy. Anyway, here is the long- awaited "Character History of Diesa" I wrote this one (and it's my first try) so please excuse the fact that it isn't as good as Eliad's history. Enjoy! ************************************************** Diesa Swifthammer was born and grew up deep underground, in the tunnels and caves of Clan Swifthammer.

However, one day she met a young dwarven maiden named Torrga Deepdwell. The two soon became inseperable friends. Finally, Diesa had someone who understood her and was always there for her: an escape from the horrors of her home life. Things were looking up for Diesa.
