Young Norrin was born into slavery, with nothing to look forward to but a life of herding rothe destined for the tables of noble Drow. That was until Clan Orecrusher liberated the drow city and freed Norrin. Recognising his talents, the dwarves of Clan Orecrusher adopted Norrin, bestowing an honourary dwarven name upon him.
Now as his clan's most talented scout, Norrin seeks to recover the ancestral McGuffin, taken by the dread lich Acererak when the Orecrushers' ancestral home was destroyed.
