[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 4336101, member: 1231"] Hmmm... Appearance and Personality are okay I guess, up to you anyway. But I am not so sure about the history. The level of experience you imply is substantially higher than a 1st level character, even in 4e. Also, given some of the ideas about PoL, I am not sure why there is this convenient wall system that keeps the bad guys from the good guys, not to mention why dwarves would go out of the way to protect elves in any case... But if I were to go with you, I could probably work what you have posted into something more like a Point of Light. If I may... (in shorter form): Kaldar is basically as you have posted, but he is a veteran of a number of smaller battles and skirmishes with the orc tribes of the Sinagor, the treacherous area north of the mountains. Instead of a grand system of gates with a huge city, he is from a smaller dwarven fort city that does guard an underground pass that connects two valleys within the mountain range. The northern one is the Sine valley, and the southern one is tentatively within the control of the dwarves, with several other forts in the mountains surrounding it. This would be Darchoun. South of the mountains is Creyasmoore, a somewhat sinister (to the dwarves) that is inhabited by wild beasts, as well as the elves. The dwarves have some trading relations, but as thing are now neither would likely go out of their way to help the other. There are rumours of a family on Oni in the Sinagor, where none have been there since Kaldar was young and fought in the most serious battle of his career, but what that means for the dwarves is so far unclear. There are also rumours of something that lies beyond the Sinegor, something from the human empire of Nerath, broken before Kaldar was born, that is taking the attention of the tribes of the Sinegor, though that has not meant a decrease in the number of raids on Kaldar's home fort. Also, an additional element that I thought of when you first mentioned a dwarf fighter, before you posted anything abount his background: High in the mountains above the dwarven fortress, but accessible only from one of the passages branching off from the main tunnel to the southern valley, there lives an ancient Galeb Duhr. The dwarves give him what little he needs to survive, and in return he has always acted as a kind of mentor to whoever was willing to listen, but particular to a young Kaldar. He spends his days quietly overlooking the valley from the precipice he calls home. [/QUOTE]
