Added background to my post. Here it is...
-----
Traubon Mithrilaxe was raised in the tradition of the mountain dwarves, as any of his other kin was. However, throughout his life, he felt that something was missing - he was listless, restless, and knew that there had to be more to life. Unlike his friends, he saw little point in pursuing the arts of metalworking. Religion gave him no comfort.
Something did interest him, however - and that was magic. He was tutored under an old dwarven sage, who taught him in the manner he had been, focusing in protective magic and ignoring spells involving trickery and death. His father disapproved of his choice, however, and began drilling combat and weaponry into Traubon's mind; thus the young dwarf developed affinity both for the weaponry and magic of his kind.
Still, however, his life seemed... unfocused. He had gained much skill in his life, but to what end? Knowing that there must exist something outside of his mountain home, Traubon left his family and clan, going to the world of the surface. There, he decided, he would find the purpose to his life.
It has been seven months, and he has not found what he is looking for. Patient as a rock, however, he knows that he will find it eventually. In the meantime, however, he is trying to understand the strange world of the surface... hearing rumor of a concert being held, he decided that he would attend, and get a taste of the music of this strange new place. Perhaps he would find his purpose there...
