Rimadikal

Once a simple Dwarven artisan, this Dwarf's story beings in the fortress of Rithzâm Nasögred, where he was taught the trade of the warrior, as per standing laws. Rithzâm Nasögred, standing as it does on the frontier between the local Orc lands and what the Dwarf population called civilisation, forced upon him a life unlike he was used to: Night shifts, early morning drills, poor food (even by Dwarf standards) and ruthless discipline. After a time, he had changed from a simple stone mason to a fine Sergeant Major in the Night's Guard. However, due to the constant fighting, the fortress was loosing ground, prompting the Overseer to order a general evacuation. Rimadikal, as he now called himself, stayed with a crack team of Dwarven Warriors to draw attention away from the departing caravans. The orcs overran them, slaughting everyone in the caravans and leaving the soldiers to die in their own blood. Rimadikal survived purely by chance, and took to wandering the world, searching for increasingly insane challenges to prove himself as a true Dwarven Warrior. In his travels, he has visited a number of places within the Isles, and has served in a number of military and para-military forces, which have been mercenary, official and less-than-legal.
