History: Lorin is from the Lonely Mountain and joined his uncle, Perin, to Moria with Balin. Perin had sworn to his brother that he would keep Lorin safe. Lorin was 28 and just getting ready to enter adulthood when they went to Moria. Lorin was eager to perfect his smithing with mithril. He helped the other dwarves clear out the mines of all surrounding orcs. Many an orc were slain by the axe of Lorin, son of Parin. The surviving dwarves busily started rebuilding Moria as best they could.
In 2994, Lorin was sent to Bree to notify the Humans that Moria had been re-established and the Dwarves were looking for trading partners. Perin was to join Lorin at Rivendell a couple of days later, and they were to return together. Lorin was told to stay in Bree until Perin came by, but he never came. After two weeks, Lorin was getting sick of the human dwellings. Lorin decided to make off on his own and wait for word from Moria or possibly Bree. He left a message at the town hall (or some such building) that where he was living for any dwarf or friendly person know where he was. He found a cave in between the Mitheithel and Bruinen rivers (Hoarwell and Loudwater) south of Rivendell. There he stayed for the next 25 years while practicing his craft and honing his fighting skills. He traveled to Bree once a month for supplies and any information about kin that might be found (not that there was much as dwarves do not usually go to Bree).
One evening, Lorin dreamt saw a dwarf, his Uncle Perin, in a dream. Perin said, "In order to return to your kin, you must travel to the ruined stonework of Weathertop. There, you will meet a man in green mail." Before Lorin could ask anything, Perin was gone and Lorin was awake. He packed his things and headed for Weathertop.

Also, Arador...garyh told me that since I am a Dwarf, I cannot use two handed axes. It seems to me that two-handed axes are a Dwarven staple, but I could be wrong. anyways...I was just wondering if there will is anything that could be done about this.
Thanks

Wally, I've made a few minor changes to my character. I will email a new sheet to you. Hopefully we can start in the coming days and I will stop playing with my character sheet 
BTW, Darth Ecks I noticed that you have Swift Strike but only 6 points in armed combat. I think you might need to bump up your ranks to get that ability. Look forward to playing with you and hope you won't be too grumpy after all those years by yourself in a cave
