Background:
Many have heard the story of seven particular dwarves who all lived and worked together and who one day happened upon an exiled princess, who decided to live with them for a while, before adventure and hi-jinx ensued. Good triumphing over evil. Happily ever after. Blah. Blah. Blah.
Noisy is not one of those dwarves.
'Those' dwarves have made life hell for regular dwarves.
Like every dwarf is lucky enough to get assigned a convenient gem mine to toil in. No, he and his kin got coal.
Like every dwarf has some royal harlot to do their housework and keep them entertained. No, he and his kin had only each other's ugly mugs to stare at when they got home. If you didn't cook it yourself, you didn't eat. If you didn't clean it, it stayed dirty.
And what kind of proper dwarf is named Happy! Dwarves ain't happy! Not proper ones anyway!
He and his kin hated 'those' dwarves. 'Those' dwarves didn't know a thing about being a right and proper dwarf... but kiss enough ass, grease enough palms, hire enough good PR, and suddenly regular dwarves likey Noisy were just not good enough.
Well to hell with those entitled bastards.
So a group them, Noisy included, decided to form their own group. The 'Other' dwarves if you will! They joined the Pathfinders in hopes of making a dwarven tale that will make people forget about 'Those' dwarves once and for all.
Noisy's been doing pretty well at it, too. So far as to be officially awarded a noble title, after successfully leading the Taldor Army of Exploration on a successful campaign during the Fourth Mendev Crusade against the Worldwound.
