Name: Dan Hardhammer
Age : 43
Class: Fighter
Race: Dwarfe
Alignment : LN
Diety: Dorand

Dan is a well built dwarfe , proud of his large belly and his well groomed beard . His hair is a muddy brown colour , and he has brown eyes to match . Allthough his large build hes quiet muscular aswell .

Dan grew up with his clan , under hammerbound montains . His parent we nothing more than your usual dwarfes . they loved to work hard in the mines , and enjoy a feast of meat and a few large tankards of ale after a hard days work .

As soon as Dan was old enough and strong enough he helped his farther and his clan mine and do what they do best . He fitted in well , starting off with just carrying at first for a few months , till he earned the right to help mine itself . But dan didnt mind he wanted to learn off his elders and his clan members that he looked up to .

After a hard days work his farther would take a tankard of ale and dan to a quiet spot , and thed spar . His farther taught his how to hold his favourite weapon once he was strong enough to hold it , a battle axe . Showing Dan how to grasp it and the basic stances where to place your feet to be abel to get better momentom whilst weilding it . Dan learbnt a lot from his farther in these session of an everning . And they both enjoy them and spending time together .

Allthough Dan's farther was just a miner he did use to work at the forges smelting the ore . And other Clan members used what was smelted to make arms for the clan in Dorands honour . Dan was taught from an early age the believes of Dorand , And a lot of the clan believed that if you didnt craft you wasnt serving Dorands purpose .

Dan is bound by his honour he believes honour is gained by working hard and doing what youl say youl do . Once hes made a friend hed never betray him or her and is rather loyal .

At the age of 43 Dan was a bit reluctant to leave his clan but he wanted to see the world above , he needed some freedom so he set out for the hempstead . Saying goodbye to nearly all his clan , he went looking for adventure and he promised to make his Clan name known to all that he met .

It was a long road to Port hempstead but finally I made it , As i wandered the streets for a few days taaking my time to aquanite myself with this large city i meet a few travellers passing through . Of course i introudced myself and was polite even though there a luittle tall for my liking but i must admit ive kept my distance for a bit . Till i get to know the seroundings a little better .
Whilst looking around , i came acroos where the local merchant sell basic weapons *chuckling to himself*
Obviously not made by a dwarfe the quality just isnt there but it will do for now , If the battle axe and shield i payed my last few coins i had dont break .

A few days have past and i actually have made it out of hempstead main gates ....

Whilst sitting in a nearby fort looking across the water , fort wayfare i beleive . A Female kin comes by *with quiet a smile on my face* i say hello .
Since leaving my clan this is first Dwarven lass ive come across , We intoduced ourselfs and got aquanted . Argali was here name we even talked for quiet some time .
She looked quiet the warrior in her armour , she even gave me a few pointers *laughs*
A lass showing me where im going wrong whatever next , but no i listen and was gratefull , anyway i can improve i will . You need to stay alive in these place .

Argali said if theres one thing i should , that is that i should always walk in to battle , never loose my cool and charge like most . walk steady and be aware .
Probably worth a shot ,who knows maybe it will stop me getting all the blows im taking . Or maybe i just need to toughen up and learn to take them .
Only time will tell i guess ......
