Background:

During the first Mendevian crusade in the Worldwound, Urrock’s parents were part of a company of dwarves whose faith in Torag had lead them to join the crusade. Pinned down by a horde of demons and cultists, the dwarves were preparing to make a desperate last stand, only to be saved by a contingent of mounted Hellknights that charged in and dispersed the horde. Impressed by these humans, the dwarves were further intrigued to learn that they were part of a newly formed Order, one that worshiped a pantheon of five lawful gods that included Torag. Joining forces with the Hellknights, the combination of the two groups went on to enjoy several victories in the crusade. When the time came to return from the front, several dwarves stayed with the Hellknights and joined the newly formed Order of the Godclaw.

Born in Citadel Dinyar in the Aspodell mountains, Urrock was raised in the faith of the five-part pantheon, revering Torag, Abadar, Iomedea, Iori, and Asmodeus as the five aspects of perfect law. When he was 40 he faced a lemure in his Hellknight test, defeating the devil through skill at arms and a careful selection of pre-applied spells that allowed him to damage the monster. Urrock then departed on a mission through the countryside, hoping to earn his Hellknight armor through proselytizing and defeating forces of Chaos wherever they might appear. He has been traveling for some years now, and his quest has brought him to Southern Taldor and the small town of Heldren.

5 min background questions:

1) 5 points about Urrock: as a Hellknight he takes his faith and Law very seriously. His faith includes Asmodeus though, and the Prince of Lies teaches that an agile mind can work with any ally in the ultimate cause of Law. He has a gruff manner that hides a deep well of kindness that has only become greater in his time traveling. Out of the five deities of the Godclaw, he favors Torag and Iori the most. He would never tell anyone, but he is a cat person and doesn’t much care for dogs.

2) Two goals that Urrock hopes to achieve – to earn a full set of Hellknight plate, and to fight the forces of evil and chaos.

3) Two secrets – Urrock secretly has doubts about some aspects of the Godclaw, struggling to accept the teachings of Abadar and Asmodeus with the good creeds of the other gods. He also secretly believes some of the other Hellknights to be stuffy zealots overly obsessed with enforcing their world view on others.

4) 3-5 people that are tied to Urrock:
Beldun and Malachite Stonebreaker, his parents. Both are Hellknights in their own right, skilled in combat and strong in faith. He often feels like he is struggling to live up to their shadow.
Norchus Bleaker, a Hellknight of the Order of the Pyre, and a total bastard. Urrock can’t stand the man, but restrained himself from actually coming to blows out of respect for the Order.
The Cartwright family, who own a farm on the outskirts of Heldren. Urrock helped them deal with a band of goblins that had been stealing their chickens.

5) Three key memories:
Urrock clearly remembers his first service in the grand Cathedral of Citadel Dinyar. The majesty of the place and the faith of those around him put him on the path of faith that he walks now.
He also remembers his Test against the summoned lemure. While the battle was by no means easy, the magical blessings that helped him win left him with doubts about his victory.
A horse thief’s trial in Isger. The proceedings were a sham, so much so that he stepped in and insisted the man be pardoned due to lack of evidence. This was his first experience with Law being twisted toward injustice.

6) Urrock’s greatest fear is that he will faced with a challenge that he can’t defeat. He also has a phobia of spiders.

7) Urrock’s questing has brought him to Heldren, and he already spent a little time in the area helping a family with some goblin problems.
