Morthak the Mad's page

Morhak was born and raised in Kled, and from an early age taken as an acolyte of the almighty sun. Through the years of training, he learned his devotions and was able to develop control over the forces of light and fire quickly. However, despite his elders' insistance, he would not forsake ties with his family.

One day, a handful of years ago, Kled was attacked by an offshoot of the Black Sand raiders, and many dwarves were taken as slaves, including Morthak's parents and sister. Although still an acolyte, and against the orders of his elders, he abandoned his training and Kled and tracked after the slavers with a handful of like-minded dwarves.

Only Morthak survived. The others fell to the desert's whim and sun's fury, cursed to become banshees. Morthak pressed on, against hope and the odds, becoming nearly a banshee himself, before finally reaching an oasis. Still, the ordeal had *touched* him, and though he still relentlessly pursues his focus to rescue his kin, only in rare lucid moments can he remember them. For the last few years (he cannot recall how long since he left Kled), he has chased the slaver's trail, real and imaginary. More drastically, the desert sun fried any semblance of the acolyte-to-be, instead forging a powerful wildly-psionic warrior.

Morthak is a husk of his former self. Once hale and robust, the desert's ravages have left him gaunt (for a dwarf), and splotchy-skinned. Despite his trials, he remains quite healthy by human standards, if not those of his race.

Morthak stands 4 feet, 4 inches tall, and weighs 185 pounds. He is currently 77 years old.
