Garnak is a descendant of the kings of Dammerhall. Even in exile, he was raised in a house of wealth and comfort. He was told tales of the dwarves of old, of drinking, of gold, of vast kingdoms of wealth. And then he was told of the fall. He was told of the loss of Dammerhall; he was told that recovery had been attempted for over a century. He was told that it was impossible. He didn’t care. He was young and arrogant, his evenings filled with booze and women. He knew that his destiny was to be a great one. When his father passed away and the family coffers became his, he loudly declared that the time for recovery had come. He spent everything he had to raise an expedition, to fill it with men, women, and booze. He was, by no means, a tactician however and the costs were far heavier on the side of glory than they were on the side of success. His caravan was filled with music, shining standards made of precious metals, stores of fine alcohol, chroniclers, and construction workers for the inevitable success – and precious few men at arms. Their excursion was short and bloody. But the most concerning part was how it affected Garnak. Shortly after their descent into the tunnels near the old site of Dammerhall, something happened. Loud sounds, flashes of light, and then nothing. It was clear that they had been attacked, but Garnak was unconscious in moments. When he awoke the entire group was dead. Bodies were scattered around and the equipment had been looted. Not only was he the sole survivor, but he found himself speaking – and understanding – an unknown language. His mind was filled with knowledge that he had never before known and his soul was filled with an overwhelming desire for vengeance. He set to return to civilization with the intent to return again, this time wiser and with a much deeper understanding, but with the motive of revenge, not glory. Description:
Garnak is quite tall and has a somewhat imposing presence, particularly to those aware of the circumstances of his return from his first failed expedition. His skin is paler than one would expect for a dwarf, nearing toward gray, and his hair is a deep black color. His eyes, once blue, are now red and piercing, having changed during whatever event knocked him out in the tunnels years ago. He typically wears his armor around, and he takes great pains to retain his intimidating stature. |
