Backstory
The Helsenhammers and the Goblinhammers had been involved in a feud stretching back centuries. Both families have lived in Rolgrimmdur for as long as anyone can remember. Much of the time, this has amounted to little more than veiled insults or competitions to get into various appointed and elected positions. Occasionally, the situation has gotten more serious but that’s always been repressed before things got out of hand. That is, until some young hotheads from both sides decided to carry out some wild schemes which left some dwarves dead; a few of whom weren’t even part of the feud. Other leaders quickly stepped in and shut the whole thing down. Both families were properly (from the dwarven point of view) mortified. It was decided that a few “examples” needed to be made and Durgan volunteered to be such an “example”. He was proudly lauded by other dwarves for his willingness to do this and let others save face and then he was banished.
He was quite happy to be banished, in fact. Living in the Five Kings Mountains was pleasant enough but Durgan always felt like the odd one out. In the city of warriors, he belonged to a family with a long and distinguished history of priestly service (usually to Trudd). No one would ever question a dwarf over becoming a warrior, especially in Rolgrimmdur, but it always felt that his closest family felt that he was “the odd one”. Moreover, it seemed that the dwarves spent all their time talking about the glories of yesterday and of tomorrow. Yet it seemed that “yesterday” was longer and longer ago with every telling and “tomorrow” never seems to come. Where are the stories of the glories of “now”?
Durgan had heard many tales of the exotic locations and monsters that populated Varisia and so that’s where he went to test his mettle against what the world had to throw at him. Unfortunately, this turned out to be largely nothing. For ten years he wandered Varisia following tales of evil and powerful creatures only to find the doldrums of everyday life where ever he went. It was if the universe conspired to keep anything interesting from happening to him.
Now at the age of 66, he has spent the last five years living in Sandpoint. He has been suffering from of malaise of uncertainly about what to do with his life and is paralyzed by indecision. Varisia lived up to his expectations but he’s afraid other places will be worse. If only something would happen.
