Social

Personality Traits: • Shiny or glittering things will always draw my attention. • Fine craftsmen are basically celebrities in Nakaltia; I'm extremely well regarded at home for my craftsmanship, and am always a little put out when someone hasn't heard of me. • I prefer to describe magic using gem metaphors: color, preciousness, and types of craft are my most often used metaphors. • I am very uncomfortable with horses and large animals of various types, having grown up around none of them, and never needed them for transportation. • Trust the crafter, trust the gear. I don't like buying or using items whose makers I don't know. Ideals: • Generosity. My talents were given to me so that I can use them to benefit the world. (Background) • Desire for Knowledge. I seek to know and chronicle the magical lore of the world in which I live, no matter the dangers. (Class) • Ambition. Dwarvenfolk create wonders wherever we go, whether finecrafts, great edifices, or civilization. I wish to make a lasting mark in that tradition. (Race) Bonds: • My Family. My family nurtured and loved me, giving me a safe place to foster my skills. I love them all dearly, even if my sister Eudmil is an impossible matchmaker who won't rest until I have a boyfriend. • Fine Craftsmanship. I owe it to my masters and their masters before them to always work diligently and well. Half-efforts are worse than no effort at all when I am working to create something. (Background) • The Lost Runes. I seek and hope to find the Lost Runes of the Morndinsamman to return these magics to my people. (Class) • Rumora Golemwright. Another Valaar wizard, Rumora has long been my rival at the Prism. She also seeks the Lost Runes (Race) • Uslukh. My wee familiar who considers himself the very foremost of dragons because he considers all of my possessions – especially my gems – to be his very own hoard. (Just dinna' call him "cute" – he thinks he's most ferocious.) Flaws: • Hidebound. I have a very specific morning ritual, and do not deviate from it at the beginning of a day. (Background) • Naíve. Though I do know that there are dangers to be hand in magic, I can't help but see the wonder in it first. (Class) • Vanity. My beard is always well-maintained and cared for properly. I won't face others without it looking proper and decent. (Race)

A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials. –Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Nobility, without virtue, is a fine setting without a gem. –Jane Porter

    • You can hear the Foundation Pillar of (the Primordial General Roth Uri Abbon) "breathing".
• Raullis's Runestone: Fist-sized faceted gem focus with complicated interlacing Goltiri runes that change orientation, shape, and alignment depending on how the gem is viewed.

  • The focus EITHER increases spell duration or spell range by 25% (chosen at time of casting).
  • As long as you have one unspent spell slot of your highest spell level, you can maintain TWO concentration spells.
  • The iris of your eyes changes to the color of your wizard specialty and the pupils become associated runes. You can see magical auras with your new funky eyes (detection only, you will still need detect magic to ID auras or further scrutinize)

Important Individuals

• Family: Hjolman is the son of a hraung tria tsrogin (a "three ring working," or marriage wherein three are joined rather than two).
  • His Mama Gamella was always rather distant, emotionally, but showed her love by sharing her craft, and taking an interest in his when he was old enough.
  • His Papa Barkur was the warm, affectionate one, who made their home comfortable and safe; he was also the best cook in the house. He is also a deft hand with the dagger and axe, from his adventuring days.
  • His Papa Morgath was the disciplinarian but also the educator, teaching him an appreciation for history and the written word, and finding him a good place once his magical aptitude came to the fore.
  • His younger sister Eudmil is an acolyte in the Great Temple in Gol Dragga, in service to Moradin as our Granny Rodena's apprentice. Since becoming an adult, she's obsessed with finding Hjolman a boyfriend.
• Rumora Golemwright: Ugh. The literal worst.

Uslukh (Familiar)

Background

135 years old

• Born to Morgath Stonecaller and Barkur Redforge and Gamella Threehammer.
  • Morgath Stonecaller (taad ald hrud, or "first father"). A scion of the noble House Stonecaller, and a wizard of some modest ability, Papa Morgath sits on the Nobles' Council for Gol Dragga. His great aunt (and thus my great-great-aunt) is Lady Stonecaller.
  • Barkur Redforge (taad ald tva, or "second father"). The son of Rodena Redforge, the High Priestess of Moradin and Slayer of Wraith. Grew up in Gol Dragga.
  • Gamella Threehammer (maamr, or "mother"). An incredible finesmith (worker in precious metals), Gamella is a bit of a workaholic, preferring to focus on her arts. She is loving but not particularly domestic, considering the bearing of Hjolman and his sister Eudmil to be her contribution to the familial unit, largely leaving their rearing to Morgath and Barkur.
  • Morgath and Barkur grew up together in Gol Dragga, exploring the tunnels around it as young men as part of an adventuring company called the Sons of Gol Dragga. They were friends first and then lovers, eventually being joined in marriage by Barkur's mother, Rodena.
  • After Morgath lost a leg to an umber hulk attack, Morgath and Barkur retired from the Sons. Morgath took his father's seat on the Council of the Blooded, the nobles' council in Gol Dragga, while Barkur was apprenticed to Master Lhundar Threehammer, the finest gemwright in the city.
  • While apprenticed to Master Threehammer, he met Gamella, and the two of them found their styles very complementary (although she found his work ethic somewhat lacking). They fell in love while working together on their journeyman pieces.
  • Barkur introduced Gamella and Morgath, and while they did not fall in love, they are fast friends, with Gamella sharing Morgath's love of find hard liquors, which Barkur cannot stomach. She joined into their marriage (a hraung tria, or "three ring" union among the dwarves) after she and Barkur were both masters in their respective crafts.
• Grew up in Gol Dragga.
• 65 years old: Ended up an apprentice to his Granpa Lhundar, who taught him gemworking.
• 98 years old: Became a journeyman lapidary.
• 109 years old: Accidentally crafted a spellgem while he was cutting a peridot. Though the rune within the gem was flawed, it was brought to the attention of the Prism. In short order, he was convinced to come and study magic at the Prism. Met and was friends with Rumora for a short time, until she decided that he wasn't noble enough for her taste (possibly with some peer pressure from other nobles she knew).
• 112 years old: Took a break from his magical studies to return to Gol Dragga and finish his masterwork piece (his spellchain) and become an acknowledged master lapidary.
• 120 years old: Summoned his familiar, Uslukh, and became a journeyman wizard. He was then allowed to leave the Prism and go home to Gol Dragga to be apprenticed to his Papa Morgath in further magical studies.
• 126 years old: Joined the (still existant) Sons of Gol Dragga adventuring company, getting some skill at using his magic in dangerous situations. Rumora Golemwright, part of a rival adventuring company (Force Deepingcrown, made up entirely of nobles) reappears in his life as a rival who proves herself to basically be the very worst person he's ever had the displeasure of meeting.
• 128 years old: In an old set of lore storehouses near Gol Dragga, discovers some references to powerful runic artifacts, speaking of the letters of the Goltiri alphabet as though they were actual individual items. Begins to research these further.
• 130 years old: Continues his research, eventually discovering that the Goltiri people – before they split into multiple dwarven peoples – may have been guardians of powerful artifacts: runestones, in the shape of each of the dwarven runes that make up the Goltiri alphabet. They've been lost to the world for a great while, though.
• 133 years old: Finally runs out of research resources in the Prism and throughout Nakaltia, but correspondence with hill dwarves reveals that they may very well have some lore relating to the runestones.
  • Seeks to possibly uncover that, continues correspondence, learning that there may be more clues in the ancient hill dwarven sites within the Tholgrin Mountains, but they are inaccessible at the time.
• 134 years old: Discovers that the hill dwarves have agreed to aid in the reclamation of Malixia City, and in return New Malixia will offer the hill dwarves their aid in exploring the old Tholgrin ruins.
  • Hjolman petitions the Prism to support an expedition from Nakaltia to aid in this. He is turned down at the hearing.
  • However, the next day, he is informed that the expedition is going ahead, and to report to the expedition's leader, Rumora Golemwright. His rage is UNENDING, but his desire to see this through is greater.
  • Arriving in the Malixian docks a few months after they were taken, the delegation is given a sizeable dwelling among the recaptured buildings (although Rumora, being too good to live among the commoners, takes one of the most expensive suites at the newly established inn).
  • While there, meets Lavinia Pennywash, who suggests that the runestones he's interested in are incredibly powerful artifacts that should be sequestered away from the world. He pretends to agree, and she recruits him into the Independant Society of Antiquaries. Despite his horror at the egregious misspelling in the group's name, he joins, intending on keeping the runestones out of the ISA's hands and returning them to the dwarves.
• Start of Campaign: Hjolman has been in Malixia, aiding with the efforts and working with the ISA for half a year at this point.
