TOR2: The Tale of Fargrim Cragfury
The origins of Fargrim are not worthy of song. At least not yet, not that he would see it that way. He grew as all dwarves beneath the Blue Mountain do, learning the ways and feelings of his elder kin, and took up the craft of a stoneworker. Not of the miners, who delve into unseen depths and prize precious stones from the earth's grasp; rather, Fargrim's chosen lot was to turn the newly opened spaces into livable rooms and roads fit and worthy for defending. And of course, he honed his body and reflexes for defense of home and hearth.
At the age of ninety-three, Fargrim married the she-dwarf known as Nanain, who bore him two sons, Thrimir and Grimir. They had happiness for a brief window of time, by dwarf reckoning. Eight years ago, Nanain came to visit one day while Fargrim and his team were working on a new room, when a mob of orcs ambushed them. In the chaos, a loose pillar toppled and fell upon Fargrim's beloved, killing her.
The family have grieved and found their strength, with Thrimir and Grimir going on to apprentice in the way of mining to stick together, but their father took Nanain's loss very hard. To this day, he treats any encounter with orcs as an opportunity to exact his vengeance, and continues to carry an empty glass vial that once contained the fragrance that his late wife used to wear.
