Torrin Ironstar Torrin Ironstar , or Daffyd Raltin , was a male human rogue and member of the Order of Delvers from Eartheart . History . Early Life . Torrin was born Daffyd Raltin to human shopkeepers in the town of Hammergate just outside Eartheart . As a young boy , Torrin helped around his parents ' shop . When Torrin was seven , the shop was robbed and Torrin picked up a magical dwarven mace , activated the magic and killed the robber , something that only a dwarf was supposedly able to do . Even though his father consulted a loremaster who claimed that non - dwarves could use magical dwarven weapons , Torrin ' s use of the mace lead to his lifelong belief that he was really a reincarnated dwarf of the now extinct Ironstar clan . At some point , Torrin left his parents and moved into Eartheart proper where he was adopted by the Thunsonn clan . Stoneplague . In 1480 DR , Torrin traveled into the Underdark to purchase a teleportation rune from a shady dwarf . The dwarf had a strange condition that made his skin look like dried mud and his eyes like white marbles . Shortly afterward , his young nephew Kier stole a griffon from Eartheart ' s griffon pens and rode to an earthmote drifting over the East Rift . Torrin followed Kier and together they found a cache of gold bars in a cave . Although they were unable to loot the cache , the city guard retrieved the stash . The bars were contaminated with the Stoneplague which was unleashed on Eartheart . Torrin deduced that the contaminated gold was the source of the Stoneplague . He used his teleportation rune to teleport to Eralynn Thunsonn in the Dwarven city of Sundasz . While in Sundasz , Torrin was able to trick several of the dwarves who made the tainted gold bars into meeting him . After a fight , he interrogated one of the dwarves and learned the gold came from Moradin ' s River of Gold which had been cursed by the duergar of Drik Hargunen through the use of rune magic . Torrin reported this information to the Council of Eartheart but they declined to allow him to go along on the raid to destroy the Duergar magic . Instead , Torrin teleported into Drik Hargunen and discovered the rune magic inside a giant geode . Torrin was able to destroy the magic with the help of several raiders from Eartheart . Torrin , however , was killed by the destruction of the rune magic . After his death , his soul journeyed to Moradin ' s realm and the god allowed Torrin to be reincarnated as a dwarf in honor of his service to the dwarven people . Decades later , Torrin was reincarnated as Kier ' s son . Dwarvishness . Although Torrin was undeniably reincarnated by Moradin as a dwarf decades after his death , it was unknown whether his belief that he had a dwarven soul in his human body was correct . Relationships . Torin was a close friend of Eralynn Thunsonn and several other members of the Thunsonn clan . He was considered an uncle to Kier Thunsonn . He had a frosty relationship with his human parents and rarely visited them . Equipment . Torrin carried a magical dwarven mace and used goggles that allowed him to see in the dark . He also carried the standard issue Delvers ' magic backpack which only he could open . Appearance . Torrin had a full red beard with silver hammers tied to the braids .
