When shattered the mountains
And roared the seas
When shook the earth
And tumbled the trees
The dwarven holds
And spirits were broke
Til found again
The crown of our folk

Lifestyle

Despite his nobility, Daergrim is used to living quite rough - the life of a soldier on campaign is normal for him. When in towns, he occasionally splurges on a Comfortable (2 gp per day) inn or other accommodations if he's heard the drink is worth it. Otherwise, Modest (1 gp per day) is sufficient for his needs.

Other Important Individuals

• Varaklam, a war-bear. Trained as a mount by the bear-ranchers of Clan Bearking, Varaklam was a gift from Farrus Bearking, his former shieldmate. Varaklam (whose name means "Loyal Rage") is a faithful companion, although he can be quite grumpy and needy - which isn't a problem for Daergrim, who usually beds down during campaigns and travels with the bear half-sprawled atop him.
• Lord Balil Crownhammer, father. King Dahlgrim's younger brother. Three sons: Daergrim, Stoergrim, Fargen (35 years old, still living at home)
• Lady Dorais Crownhammer, mother. Totes preggers with a fourth child (hoping for a daughter).
• Stoergrim Crownhammer, twin brother. No, I won't call him "Storick." That sounds like the name of a bird.
• King Dalgrim, my uncle and king of the dwarves.
• Dwodin Riftkeeper, priest of Dumathoin.
