Wat be a deffender , Oi see a deffender as der peoples or gods champion , someone dat dedicates der loife te eiter or both loike . Someone dat doesnt worry bout anyting else be it trues , glory or anyting material . And just worries bout wat matters loike , Kin and god .
Oi dont care bot material ting oid sacrifice oll der gold oi av moi clothes if it ment moi clan and gods ideals be heard jost for a second . Because der well being ond der voices being heard wat really matters loike .

As we were heading back te hlint , ye could hear the scream of gobbo banter across the planes someting wosnt roight ond there he layed loike , bloodied ond hurt som fella , just a poor commener laying bleeding on the grass .

As moi brudder tended te his wounds , the fella was in such a state , bloody gobo had beaten him te an inch of is loife , kidnapped his son ... Only Dorand would know wat they had in store for tha boy loiek probably a noice big cooking pot ond stew him te eat ...

Dey had ad a cave in so oi thought loike , ye cudnt see thru thar thick dost , till oi storted te look close oi cud see someting muvin , oi ran closer te try ond dig him out loike , thar dust was so thick.
As oi looked again i new somting was op eh wosnt nay dwarfe , eh ad dark skin loike  .....
