Background
Rogath was born far underground. Generations of his family had lived in the darkness, supporting the soldiers who protected the tunnels which the dwarves had come through during their Quest for Sky against the things that attempt to follow them. It was a traditional existance, although one that surface dwarves largely don't appriciate.

At his birth, an unusual mark was noted on the back of his right hand - a four-pointed star. For many years, this held no significance to Rogath or his family. However, Rogath was a wild child, always wanting to know what was around the next corner, what happened after the end of every story, and more generally, what would happen if X, Y, or Z happened.

Finally, as he progressed through his tweens, Rogath resolved to leave home to explore the surface. Despite all his family could do to dissuade him, he left home on his 36th birthday.

It took him over a year to make his way to the surface, between the length of the trek and his need to explore. When he finally reached the lower areas of the surface populations of dwarves, he lost more time plying them with questions, before they agreed to guide him on to the sufrace. When he at long last emerged, it was a clear, moonless night and the stars were especially bright.

Having completed his own personal Quest for Sky on such a night, he felt the stars were especially meaningful to him. When he discovered that Desna was the goddess of the stars and the night, and that the star on his hand matched her favored starknives, he knew his life's path had been set and he apprentinced himself to a travelling priest of Lady Luck.

That priest was a fortune teller, and presented Rogath with his first Harrow deck - showing the young dwarf how to use them to make predictions about the future, and some of the tricks of the fortune-teller's trade. Together, the two wandered through the area of the Five Kings and the neighboring lands. However, Rogath was still a deep dwarf, and was never comfortable under the sun. When the world began falling apart, he took his leave to return to the Sky Citadels.

Description
Standing under four feet tall, Rogath is short and pale for a dwarf. His beard is black and partially braided. Each braid has a number of clear and lightly-colored beads worked into it, creating a constantly-shifting pattern of dots-on-black. He also has a prominant star-shaped birthmark on the back of his right hand.

Personality
Rogath is not a loud dwarf, nor is he rambunctious. He is well aware of how easily one's luck can change in a moment, and that tends to have a sobering effect on him. Left to himself, he prefers the quiet of a deep cave, or the stillness of a clear, starry night. However, he is a very devout follower of Desna, and a firm believer in the power of the Harrow, and his moods are often influenced by the tenor of his most recent reading. Despite his natural tendencies, he does like socializing and meeting new people, although he tries to cultivates an aura of mystery rather than one of camaraderie.
