Erikk Vor had the simple life of being the son of a chieftain in the highlands in a small village called arakage, until it was raided by a force of drow when he was 6, he was to young to fight off the raiders himself so he just had to watch as all he had known was burnt and raped, amongst the fire and screaming he saw his father laying on the floor face emotionless, Erikk ran to his fathers body where there was a large drow (which he later found to be the leader of the attacking drow) Standing beside him holding a blood stained sword Erikk immediately went to take up his fathers hammer that was laying beside him but the hammer was far too heavy for Erikk to use but his act was not without it rewards the drow admired his determination and spared his life, Erikk was put with the other captives of which there were few, mainly women.
Erikk was held captive by his drow masters for 8 long years made to do all the work the drow didn’t want to cleaning and cooking at first for he was to small to do any real lifting and carrying but as the years past he was made to collect the wood for there fires and carry equipment as well as his other duties until one night when he was made to make food for the drow leader who destroyed his village, he brought him his meal himself and while standing there in the drow general’s cave waiting for the masters approval he saw his fathers hammer on the wall seeing it stirred memories of what happened all those years ago memories he had nearly forgot completely in remembering this Erikk's rage bubbled to the surface (probably from his dwarven quarter) he ran to the hammer and snatched it from the wall a swung it at the drow general it struck him clean in the head before the could do a thing, Erikk then snuck out of the drow caves and ran. He ran for a days, or what felt like days, till he could see a town in the distance he entered the town and a man approached him and said “Who might you be sir?” at which point Erikk decided he was no longer to be known as Erikk Karascorn for that was now a hunted name he decided to call himself Erikk Vor that way he would have a constant reminded of his hate for drow so he would never forget again!
The locals of the village he was in seemed disturbed and worried by Erikk's presence later he learned the village had been repeatedly ravaged by a group of drow called the order of arahmoth, soon after learning this more new comers arrived in the village a group returning from some great war calling themselves The Order of Nemesis. Erikk went to them and seeing them as good people he asked them to help him fortify the village and they excepted this and Erikk and his new allies the Order of Nemesis set up defences and not long after were involved in a large siege which ended in Erikk and The Order of Nemesis leaving at the request of the villagers who feared for there own lives.
Erikk now travels with the order trying to serve nemesis so she may smite his enemies and he also seeks to find his dwarven relatives knowing they weren’t in his village when it was destroyed and there all he has left other than him adopted family The Order of Nemesis. |
