Beromar Copperkettle's page

The Tieffried Clan was one of rather reclusive Dwarves in the Mangorian Mountains who clung to the old way. Their isolationism was due to the remote location deep in the mountains and the close proximity to their ancient enemies the Giants who roamed these mountains. Life outside was dangerous for the Tieffried Dwarves but almost two decades ago even their ancient halls had not been enough to thwart the giant menace. In this attack Beromar’s father, by day a Kettlesmith as his father and father’s father, had fallen. The young Dwarf himself barely survived. Young Beromar, growing up without a father, and one to teach him his trade developed only one goal, mastery of the arts of combat and how to slay giants. Before even growing a beard the young vengeful Dwarf took out his first Hill Giant and has slain 27 to date and lived to tell the tale. But now something is at odds, the giants have disappeared from the Mangorian Mountains and Beromar is out to find out where they have headed.
