Dolmar's father relocated his family (his mother and 2 brothers and 1 sister) to Westcrown from Taggoret in the year 4641. His father was an architect by trade and thought there would be plenty of work in rebuilding a once extravagant country. His family made a small name for themselves as the years went by with the workmanship they showed (as his father taught all of his children the tricks of a master craftsman).
As his father was showing the family how to make a living, his mother was responsible to showing the family why they did what they did. She taught all of her children the basic beliefs that Abadar espouses to his flock. While his brothers and sisters paid lip service over time, Dolmar took to heart his mother's teachings of civilization and city building, and interwove his beliefs into his efforts in crafting buildings/streets/sewers to pass the test of time.
However, no matter how good the family was, over time business slowed, as Westcrown started to rot and fall into itself. This lack of new work, and the lack of proper maintenance of past works, struck the family hard. Dolmar's father in the end decided to move his wife back to the dwarven homeland in 4670 AR. Dolmar and his siblings had truly known no other life, and stayed in Westcrown. There business dealings having shrunk to the point where they were forced to move their home to the Redo Cader...much to their dismay. Shortly thereafter, the night hauntings began, and over the years one of Dolmar's brother and his only sister were victims to the beasts that stalk the night. While his brother ended up turning to the barrel for comfort for the loss of family, it instilled a burning fire in Dolmar.
Over the course of the years, Dolmar has cleaned his own neighborhood in the northern ruins and kept the thugs from taken over the entire area. Dolmar's activities have earned him the scorn of many of the dottari, but some of the local merchants have at least seemed to appreciated his work with a few jobs here and there.
Dolmar has remained faithful to Westcrown, and while has been unable to do anything as of yet to save her, he hopes to have a chance. Recently, a new tavern owner has asked Dolmar to join her for a dinner party at the tavern to discuss the possibility of giving him just that chance.
