I have changed my character above. The background suggestions sound very good. He coul have came to town because he doesn't entirely trusts the other dwarves...

Thus far I've got my character, somehow get stuck in the feywild for a little while, and depending on the bard feats in PHBII(we get a preview friday, hopefully they'll be a table with basic descriptions), I'll either take the feylock multiclass feat, or my dilettante power(eyebite). While stuck in the feywild, he was being stalked by a feylord, a panther. The feylord caught him, and my character made a deal with him,(thus gaining the feylock power)(what I had to give up or do in exchange for the fey power could be up to you). The feylord then led me to another portal back into the real world, which just happens to be near Fannen-Dar.
I see him being the Con-based bard, so plenty of powers for up close and personal. If he takes the multiclass feat, he'll probably have a sorc power for the dilettante power(for ranged support, and further support the fey deal)

All good ideas...but you have to pick one!
Evolution, your character, in making his deal with the feylord, could have gained fey powers in exchange for a favor that the feylord has yet to collect. This could perhaps turn into a short adventure with some minor quest XP later in the game. Also, if you want to have easyish access to the Feywild, the city of Regalia (the city of eladrin in the Cloak Woods) fades into the feywild every day at dawn, then returns come twilight. If you are caught in the world Regalia when the sun comes up, you are trapped there until the sun sets (they don't let civilians out when in the feywild, as it is much more dangerous than the Cloak Woods). Just in case you want to use this info, for anyone too!

Bridget’s father Padraig had been a priest of the Raven Queen and her mother one of the temple servitors. As so she grew up playing in and around the temple, pestering and being trod underfoot by the clerics, paladins and fighters who frequented the precincts. When Bridget was still a child her beloved older brother became a paladin and went off to travel in her service. He has never returned and she has always wondered about his fate.
In her turn Bridget decided to devote her life to the service of the deity her family has always worshipped. And so at the age of 20 she became a temple servitor and she has laboured at that task for the past 5 years, consoling the desperate, working with the lost and forlorn and, on occasion, smiting the wrong-doer. In that short time her physical prowess and her martial abilities have developed far beyond many others and she has become known more as a smiter than a comforter throughout the order and throughout the region.
Know as ‘The Wall’ for her steadfastness in battle, the nickname seems odd in describing the person herself. Bridget stands just over 5 and one half feet tall and weighs only 145 pounds and even when she dons her armour she bears no resemblance to her nickname.
Her features although plain are not unpleasant. She has a broad smile, a snub nose and eyes of emerald green. Her best feature would have been her flaming red hair if she didn’t keep it cut short, the better to fit inside her helmet. She is good company and has a generally bright demeanour although her temper often leaves much to be desired.
In all the travelling and fighting one thought remains paramount in her head - the whereabouts of her lost brother. She would love to discover what happened to him to put her mind and the minds of her parents at rest.

Digger, I like the character, but you just need to decide which god to worship (you may choose any good or unaligned god from the player's handbook or the forgotten realms player's guide), and you need to choose another language besides Common to know (except of course for Supernal or Abyssal). I also assume you are from Fannen-Dar, correct?

My current idea for background is that during the most recent big war his division was overrun and demolished. While railing at his higher-ups and their poor decisions, his gravely wounded commanding officer (the human in charge of the regiment) somewhat inadvertently ordered him off the battlefield and ordered him not to follow any further orders from [Nation's] command structure. (exact and humorous text to follow in background post, something along the lines of "... and if those[expletive deleted] back at HQ try and tell you what to do, tell 'em where they can shove it..")
Interpreting his commanders ranting as an order, 1812 left [Nation] to seek his own way in the world.
Which of those three nations would have been involved in a large (and probably losing) military action in the fairly recent past?

North of Rayshin (which is north of Fannen-Dar) is the town Khora, which is in a stalemate war with a nomadic tribe of orcs. Khora probably asked Rayshin for military assistance, and Rayshin gave them an army of warforged, and your story ensued. The war is not over, but that battle didn't go well for that division.
Also, I forgot to tell you this, but you all start with 100 gp to buy your level 1 equipment and you must buy a standard adventurer's kit (unless you have a background reason for not doing so). No matter what your background, though, you have 100 gp. Alchemist's fire is 70 gp, and with your armor and halberd, you can't afford it. The adventurer's kit includes 2 sunrods, so 2 more is 4 gp, so without buying the alchemist's fire, MAIA 1812 has 16 gp left, if you want something else to buy.
