Elder Gralg Stoneweaver

Elder Gralg Stoneweaver was a Mag'hari orc who lived in Garadar.
==Background==
Gralg Stoneweaver was already in his early forties, and had two adult children, when the shift in Orcish society - from a peaceful tribal people to a war machine - began.
He and his pregnant daughter were taken ill with the redpox and thus were held back in Garadar whilst the rest of the race marched for war. His son, meanwhile, went through the Dark Portal and was never seen by Gralg again. This did not surprise Gralg - he had never been on the best terms with his son.
Whilst his daughter died in childbirth, and her mate was killed early on in the first war, their child - Gralg's grandson - survived.
Gralg raised Takan as his own, and never left Nagrand after those days. Elder Stoneweaver took on the role of one of many elders in Garadar. He dispensed wisdom to the younger shamans of the village, helped babysit orphans, and oversaw various rites of passage - as well as caring for and training his grandson.
For a while, he had penchant for observing arena matches in the Ring of Trials. Eventually, he found himself unable to make the walk there with ease, and ceased attending.
He was a member of the Earthen Ring, but preferred to keep his involvement with them minimal. After the Shattering, he deemed himself too old to take part in their activities; quietly, he deigned not to respond to their letters any longer.
He allied himself loosely with the Horde, but held no particular enmity against the Alliance as a whole, remembering (with clarity unclouded by demonsblood) the times in which Draenei and Orcs traded with each other. His primary alleigance remained with Garadar.
==Involvement==
Stoneweaver fell ill with a flu in January 2011, and died from it on the 25th, aged 78.
He sent for Ursala specifically to aid his grandson, Takan, in caring for him in his illness. Nobody was quite sure why the young shaman's presence was imperitive - apart from the Elder himself, of course.
He still encouraged Takan to take part in arena matches in the Ring of Trials up until his death.
