***** ***** was born on the Day of Freedom, 4th of the Month of Heat Soon, ******’s mother gave birth to him with the help of a temple priest.
in the Dwarven holy Temple of Khizar-Bulan high in the mountains north
of Akan. The temple was a holy refuge for the more religious-minded of
Dwarves who chose practice their faith instead of metal-working in the town
of Akan below. ******’s mother chose to give birth to him in the Temple
to return the favor of a mighty Shokite warrior who had rescued his father
from a dungeon of the Citadel in a long, bloody raid. ******’s mother and
father were forever indebted to the Shokite and after many years of life
their paths met once more in the city of Akan. The honorable parents begged
of Shokite to allow them to return his courageous favor and after much
persuasion and insistance, the Shokite agreed. Under his instruction, they
were to have a child, a son, and raise him with the teachings of his Lord,
the SilverWinged, for the Shokite saw promise in the bloodline of the father
who was an old, tough bastard-warrior Dwarf named *******.
Born on the Day of Freedom, one priest declared that ***** was a holy
Dwarf and would become a great liberator of the Light. Under the priest’s
teachings, ****** learned about the inherent good in every being and the
battle between the Light and Dark. He studied many readings about the
SilverWinged and began to admire him greatly. ****** soon began the
main discussion of all the priests. Normally, the temple was a place of
sanctity and fighting was not permitted, but upon hearing the praise of
the young Dwarf and after observing him for awhile, one of the priests
,named ******, saw it necessary to train ***** in the arts of war if he
was to be any good in his foretold life of liberation. ****** was a very old
warrior and was very skilled in the arts of fighting. At night, *****
trained ***** in the cold and dark of the mountains, no matter snow,
rain, or fierce wind. Soon, the day came when ***** was very tough
and as skilled as (priest) and (priest) felt it was time for him to embark
on his quest of liberating the light through Destruction of the dark. None
of the other priests of the Temple of Khizar-Bulan ever found out about
*******’s relationship with (priest), and so, upon *****’s request to
leave the temple and seek the shrine of his Lord, they allowed him. Little
did they know he would only leave the white marble steps of the great
temple on a quest from which he would never return….
