I am starting up a 12th level svirfneblin paladin as my old character bit the finger of death, the party is currently in the Underdark and I have an idea that the paladin comes from a larger svirfneblin community from the elemental plane of earth, however I don't really know much about the society of the elemental planes. I was thinking he could have become a hero of his kind fighting in a war on the elemental plane and has come to the material plane (based in Ebberon) to help his brethren in their struggle against the Drow, Duergar and Beholders in the Underdark. The party is taking on a beholder settlement and he would be a captive slave who can be saved by the party.
The main area I am not too sure about is his time before coming to this plane as I cannot find much written about this. Any pointers to sourcebooks or ideas, no matter how outlandish, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
