Character History
Lost among the many rock scribe tablets in the clan's dusty library is the account of an old dwarven adventurer, Kerak Trollslayer, who at one time had visited a distant clan. Kerak's 'journal' recounted a strange encounter during his visit with his kinsmen. It seems there was a rather eccentric human sage/alchemist visiting the clan. This human, one Pericles Vendray by name, was studying the dwarves, their diet, their environment, and the effect seemingly harmless substances had on certain females of the clan. Kerak found the dwarves to be curiously tolerant of Pericles. Upon asking his kinsmen the purpose of Pericles' visit, the kindly dwarves jokingly related Pericles' desire to fashion an elixir which would promote the occurence of multiple births among the dwarves (almost unheard of!). All the dwarves looked upon Pericles as a kindly, but demented, uncle. Needless to say, nobody took Pericles' antics seriously. Kerak thought this whole situation so humorous that he recorded it in his journal for his own clansmen to enjoy. Sometime during Kerak's visit Pericles left the dwarven clan for his tower/lab, vowing to return the next spring with something that would revitalize the dwarven race. Kerak himself soon left as well. Sadly, word reached Kerak and his home clan that their kinsmen had been wiped out by an orc army. Many lamented the demise of the distant clan. Nothing was ever seen or heard from Pericles again and those that read Kerak's journals considered Pericles no more than a humorous footnote.

Many years passed....

The prominence of the dwarven race has waned. Chief factors of this demise are the slow reproductive rate of the dwarves and the many enemies the dwarves face in their chosen homelands. To a dwarf, it is recognized that their race is, eventually, doomed. Granted this is many years, if not generations, away. But the writing is on the wall, the dwarves see it, and their gruff attitude toward most other races is a result.

Almost all the dwarves have accepted their apparent fate. At least once, however, has not. Ortho Pestkiller is a bit of a free thinker among the dwarves. As a young priest he has spent many an hour among the collected writings of the clan and chanced upon the journal of Kerak Trollslayer. Was Pericles more than just an eccentric old man? Could he have held the key to the dwarves' future? What happened to him? What happened to his work? And what of the clan he visited? Could there be any record of Pericles (his home, his colleagues, his family, etc.) still in the ruins of the distant clan's mine complex? These questions occupy Ortho's thoughts.

Praying for guidance, Ortho becomes convinced that his destiny lies in the pursuit of knowledge of Pericles and his work. Perhaps the eventual fate of the dwarves is held within this quest. Unfortunately, Ortho's ideas and questions are without support within his clan. If Ortho is to determine the fate of Pericles, he will have to leaven his clan.

One day Ortho quietly leaves the mines he has always called home. Stepping out into the daylight, Ortho's feet take him in the direction of his quest. What he will find, he knows not. What he does know is that somewhere, out there, lies his destiny and knowledge of Pericles and his work. Where there's a will, there's a way...
