About Hardal Gilortek
Background
As an adolescent and young apprentice Gemcutter, Hardal gained his name due to his abundent fondness for Ale. After a raid into his clan stronghold by marauding abominations (which killed his bride-to-be), Hardal was part of the avenging force that fought back. Hardal showed a knack for finding his way through the tunnels, and led a small quiet band against the outlying guards of the creatures. They soon returned victorious, having routed the creatures and Hardal had suddenly earned his name in the clan due to his actions. (Since the death of his fiance, Hardal has had a hard time getting close to Dwarven women. He'll frolic and bed with Human women though with ease)
The past few months have been rough on Hardal. Three months ago a forge exploded killing several dwarves, including Hardal's father and mother. (His mother had gone to speak with his father on Hardal's behalf to get permission for Hardal to continue training as a Gemsmith isntead of continuing on as a Warden as his father wanted.) The incident killed all link Hardal had to his home, and he let the wanderlust that had filled him since he was a youth take over.
One thing he intends to do is go through his father's journal (that he carries close to his heart) and speak with those his father considered friends and inform them of his death. (His father had never talked about his eary days, but according to his journals, he had travelled far himself and made several friends as well as enemies far from home). As Hardal does appear to be a mirror image of his father when his father was younger, he hopes to carry on the friendships and learn more of his father.
