Algrund Strongaxe

__NOTOC__
Algrund Strongaxe (you can call me Al) was born on an island of humans - his parents moved here long ago for reasons currently unknown to Al, and assimilated into human society as best they could, but the racial differences were just too vast and ultimately caused a de facto segregation. The Strongaxes weren't necessarily outcasts - not regarded as dangerous or unfriendly per se, they were just somewhat outsiders who didn't fit in socially.
As a result, Al grew up a loner. Like his working-class parents, he was put to work doing manual labor as soon as he was able, and became quite strong of body and will. A kindly and pious neighbour who preferred the company of books to other humans and was deeply devoted to the gods Mathis and Safia was struck by divine inspiration one day when Al was a young lad; Mathis and Safia spoke to him and advised that Al was perhaps much more gifted in the mental arts than his stoic exterior and gruff upbringing might let on. This neighbour took Al under his wing and began tutoring him daily in reading, writing, and the cleric arts.
Although Al was friendly enough with his fellow woodcutters, he would prefer to settle in with a book and his thoughts rather than joining them at the inn for a pint after a long day of lumberjacking. Unfortunately, an improperly-trained young woodcutter made a mistake on the job one day that led to both a disabling injury and a further disdain of other people for Al.
No longer able to meet the physical requirements of woodcutting, Al fashioned himself a quarterstaff of the finest oak to use as a walking stick, and took this as an opportunity to pursue the clerichood full-time.
