Backstory:

Varren had a happy childhood. His father was a well-known blacksmith and his mother was a cleric at the town’s temple. There town was in the foothills of a mountain and was very prosperous. He had many friends that he would play with and reenact great battles of old with. Then when he was 20 everything changed.
The attack came with almost no warning. Just before noon the watch tower started to chime an attack warning. His parents dropped everything and grabbed their armor, telling Varren to run to the temple. They then ran to see to the towns defense. As Varren ran to the temple he saw his parents running side by side and thought nothing could stand up to them. Varren never made it to the temple, as he came around a corner a giant stepped out. A quick swipe of his club and Varren knew no more.
When he came to he went back to his house to find it and much of the town in ruins. His father’s forge barely stood but Varren darted in to save his father’s prize hammer. He searched for his parents. He never found them. At first he hoped that they would return having driven the giants off but as days passed he began to lose hope.
The temple took him in and a few years later when he showed great promise as a fighter they sent him to Janderhoff to train as a Paladin. That’s where he discovered the powers of a stonelord. Many years of training passed until he was ready to take up the duties of a Paladin of Torag. As he sets out to travel from place to place in his duties he will keep an ear out for some closure on what happened to his parents.

Discription:
At 4ft 6in Varren is tall for a dwarf. His dark hair and beard dont make him stand out but his solid build does even for a dwarf. Like most dwarves he his quick to laugh and enjoys the company of friends. But he is more pensive than most and when Giants are mentioned his mood gets black quickly.
Likes:Defending the weak and a good pint.
Dislikes: Giants and those who willfully harm others
