Valdr Ozzune's page

Valdr Ozzune was the third born son of Hakledun Ozzune, the Patriarch of a moderately successful clan and mining outfit in Issust Hold. For several generations, tradition dictated that the first born son follow the path of the father, the second born serve the law in capital, the third take up the pursuits of a scholar, and the fourth music. If a father was fortunate to have any sons beyond four, they were free to chose their own path. So it was with Valdr, until the plague known as the Saltpox spread through Issust Hold. It ravaged the small population equally, but the dwarves of the region found the losses particularly brutal as they were not known for being particularly fecund. Valdr's older brother Hamlun died of the saltpox, and Valdr himself was left with hideous pock scars following his battle with the disease. The death of Hamlun brought a shift to Valdr's station and his stern father informed him he would take his brother's place in Coran. Valdr was only 29 at the time and he had years of martial training to make up. Six and a half years later, at 36 years of age, young Valdr made the journey north to the capital. He was inducted into the city guard and served admirably for three years. He was not the strongest, nor the fastest among his peers, but he was certainly one of the most intelligent. His intelligence got him into trouble with his peers, many of whom felt that Valdr looked down on them, but it also caught the attention of Tharbeck the chief apprentice of Master Torenest.

Valdr was chosen to be part of an expertiment to enhance the capabilities of the guard and form a special group of enforcers for the Tower of the Heavens. For two years Valdr underwent intense arcane training which he nearly did not survive, but his forceful will carried him through and in the end he earned his place in the new order. His weapon, a traditional dwarven axe, was subjected to intense magics and in a ritual bonded to him. He became one of the first Blackblade's of the Tower of the Heavens.

He now serves the council rooting out crime and disorder, hoping to bring honor to his family back home and keep the peace for the citizens of Coran.

The people he cares about:
His father - Hakledun Ozzune, Issust Hold. He is protective of his father, though part him resents the coldness he has always been treated with. Still, he remains the dutiful son and knows his father has the best interest of clan Ozzune always in his thoughts.
His Mother - Neril Ozzune, Issust Hold. His mother, 'nuff said.
His younger brother - Faelurk Ozzune, Issust Hold. Five years his junior, Faelurk took his place as a scholar. Valdr feels it his duty to make sure Faelurk makes the most of his life and often sends letters and treatises back home to him.
His mentor - Tharbeck, Coran. He hold a great deal of respect for his mentor Tharbeck and while they have never shared a drink together, he would do much to protect the man who saved him from the drugery of a simple life as a member of the city watch.
Master Torenhast - The member of the council who trained Tharbeck and him to a lesser extent.
