He protects a "surface hearth" from enemies. When space underground is tight or a clan wants to expand beyond their allowable limits underground, they build a forge on the surface, often away from Alfar lands. Although vulnerable, there is less competition for resources and all of the fae races value dekkalfar miners and smiths.Kuldar’s clan operates several of the surface hearths in Cimbri lands – while they often have fine resources, the Cimbri are indifferent miners. Kuldar began as a mere woodsmen for the forge near the town of Trier in Vacomagi lands. His main job was to collect wood (an inferior fuel source to coal) to fuel the fires in their forge.A giant attacked the forge one day and slew the champion, but Kuldar stood his ground and slew it. Geirolf made Kuldar more than a woodsman — he became the new champion.  He demonstrated the power of axes over hammers (the favored weapon of his folk due to the years of mining and crafting) when dealing with the flesh of giants.  His magical axe was a gift for him from his forgemaster, in thanks for his service.  While cooling the steel in the mountain waters, mineral deposits gave the axe a golden hue that has not been duplicated since – hence his nickname.Most recently, Kuldar has been under the employ of the Vacomagi queen, Nighean. While protecting a convoy of weapons to Vacomagus (the capital of the Vacomagi), the forgemaster, a master craftsman of axes, was kidnapped in a raid and all of the forges remaining wares were taken.  The forge has been shut down temporarily until the forgemaster can be found and the culprits have been dealt with.At first, it seemed that the Brigantes had captured the forgemaster and taken his wonderful axes to further their war effort against the Silures. At least that was Kuldar's assumption.  However, the Vacomagi queen has convinced him that it may be the Silures who have captured the forgemaster in an effort to drag the Vagomagi into the battle on their side. The queen has an interest in restoring the forge to working order as much as Kuldar.  The forge represents a valuable resource that the Vacomagi use to equip their forces as well as generate tax revenues from its exports. So, Kuldar has agreed to work closely with the queen in an attempt to set things right.  DM NOTE: Kuldar is a 8th level fighter, 3rd level Dwarven Defender. Paul will only be joining the game for a short time, but he will be writing up the next adventure.</blockquote>
