HISTORY:

I am the last, as far as I know, of Clan Steelforger. When I was 25 seasons, as close as I can guess, my Clan was raided and destroyed by the Duergar and the Drow. I was found by a member of a nearby hill dwarf clan. I was taken in by the clan and cared for but was always an outcast. Because of this I prefered to be alone and was often found in the woods nearby. This is where I first saw Kanin an elven ranger. The first few times he appeares I was intrigued. Everyone had told me to leave the elves alone but I never listened to these dwarves, they did not even mine the earth. The third or fourth time I saw Kanin I was to eager and got to close and he fired an arrow to the ground beside me at which I did not flinch but rather pulled the arrow from the ground and walked Kanin to returned it to him. He gave me an inquisitive look took the arrow and dissappeared. It was nearly a season before I saw him again but I stayed further away, now I know he always knew I was there, many times I saw him all but converse with the animals of the forest and they seemed to follow and help him with what ever he was doing. One day he said "dwarf show thyself" and as I walked up to him he asked why I was always spying on him. To this I aplogized and said "I wish to know thy ways with the animals and the forest, woudst thou teach me?". Kanin laughed heartily and said "a dwarf wanting to know of the ways of a ranger now this I have to see." Over the course of the next 20 or so seasons he taught me the ways of the ranger, many times he swore that I was wasting his time and he would dissappear for a fortnight only to come back to find me waiting and practicing moving silently or using the bow. At this he would always smile and we would start again. Then one day Kanin dissappeared. After a few seasons he had not returned and I set put on my own.

In my many travels I made the aquaintance of many illustrious people and traveled to the ends of the world and back again. The most important is the great Balthazar. One day I was walking through the Vlendan Forest and heard a comotion in the next clearing and I see a large man fighting a wyvern and I rushed to stop the fight as the wyvern was one that I had seen often while residing in the forest, before I get there I saw the man throw a large barrel of mead at the wyvern and the wyvers grabbed it and drank the contents of the barrel and immediately quit attacking him.
