About Cortos the Unbroken

Cortos hates the Katapesh weather. Too hot and dry, not to mention all that sand. But for someone that was born and lived in the frozen reaches of Hillscross, deep in the Realms of the Mammooth Lords, that's understandable. Cortos was part of a tribe of dwarven wanderers, orphans or rejects of various clans. With them he learned to fight his way against orcs and goblins in the dark caves of the north, working as hired muscle for whoever was willing to pay. But after an unsuccessful raid, his tribe was left in ruins and dismissed. This happened when Cortos received word that one of his long lost relatives was still alive in Katapesh. With nothing more to do in the icy regions of Golarion, Cortos decided to try his luck in the hot ones and go meet this relative, one of the few descendants of the clans that once dwelled the mines of Tar-Urkatha. The journey was long and hard, but Cortos eventually arrived, but only to find his relative, named Tholdotr, on his deathbed. Nevertheless, they were happy to have met in the end, even if for such a brief time.

Two years have passed since Tholdort funerals, and Cortos is still a mercenary, fighting into sand tunnels instead than rock ones. He still has to get used to the life in Katapesh. One day he was walking through the markets when he saw a gnoll selling old goods with a distinctive dwarvish appearance. They looked exactly like the ones Tholdort had in his house, and he told Cortos they were relics from Tar-Urkatha his ancestors gave him. Cortos asked the gnoll where did he found that stuff. The gnoll told Cortos to piss off and die. Nedless to say, Cortos almost tore the gnoll's teeth off and was able to make him talk: the mines of Zolurket are open again, and a bunch of gnoll riffraffs are raiding it out. With a renewed sense of dwarvery running wild through him, Cortos decided to go there to know what exactly is going on and started asking around if there's someone else willing to follow him.
