Backstory: They say dwarves are one with the stones, but even at an early age, Grond knew he was more in tune with the earth then his clan mates. As a young dwarf he had a feral spirit that often led him off into the wilds of the surrounding countryside when he was supposed to working. His perceived laziness soon got him expelled from his apprenticeship with the clan holds top stone mason. In an attempt to save the family’s honor, Grond’s father sent him to the Monotka Kameh. A temple dedicated to Moradin revered for the wisdom of its priests, yet reviled for their harsh approach to discipline. Despite the temple brothers drilling the religious tenets daily, Grond’s wild spirit was untamable. The young dwarfs back bares many scars earned in penance, but the brothers of Monotka Kameh could not mark Grond in the way that Marthammour Duin has. The last night Grond spent within the confines of the temple a thunderstorm like no other raged. Something in the roar of the thunder called out to him, and Grond left his bed chamber. The next morning the brothers found him rolling in the mud, naked and ranting about the destiny Marthammour Duin had shown him, a severe burn covering the left side of his body from head to foot. While the clerics of the Monotka Kameh dismiss Grond’s claim, he is convinced that Marthammour Duin has chosen him, and marked him through a bolt of lightning. As proof Grond claims he can save the dying with the sacred touch of his hands. Refusing healing for the burn, he packed his bag and set off across the world to serve the "Watchful Eye" and left Moradin's fellowship behind him for good. His wanderings have led him to the North and a Halfling farm settlement near Daggerford, his burn healed but a wicked scar remains. Now he works the land with his new Halfling friends and awaits his gods call again.

Personality: Grond is as wild and boisterious as he is steadfast and loyal. He has a passion for good ale, and the outdoors. He is quick to say whats on his mind and not afraid to say it. He has a hardtime recognizing when people differ from his preconcieved sterotypes. His hatetread of the goblin kind is in par with his dwarven heritage.
