Snorri Morgrimson

Snorri grew up in Karaz-a-Karak, or Everpeak, the great Dwarfen capital. He was born into Clan Forgekeeper, a clan primarily devoted to the ancient art of the Runesmiths. However, Snorri did not become a runesmith, instead taking the path of an Engineer. Whilst creating things did obviously appeal to Snorri's fundamental dwarfishness, destroying things appealed just as much. During his time as a miner in Everpeak, Snorri was most taken by the large amounts of explosives used to excavate new tunnels and halls. After watching a particularly large explosion that was used to create the seven thousand and fifty eighth hall of Gateward Wing, Snorri knew that making things that went bang and boom was his calling.
In Karaz-a-Karak, Snorri felt shackled by the constraints of the Engineer's Guild, for, they would only allow him to make small things that went boom for the lesser tunnels, and had him measuring fuses and other such boring tasks. Snorri longed for the great flames and whooshings of an enormous fireball. "Too dangerous" they said; "You could bring down all of the Gateward Wing!" they cried. Bloody losers, that's what they were. Pansies the lot of them! It was just one teeny weeny column and it was in the way anyway.
When Snorri's cousin, Brandr, came down to the mines one evening seeking aid in a great quest, Snorri jumped at the opportunity. Karaz Azgal, the place that they would be heading to, sounded like it needed a dwarf like Snorri - a dwarf with fire in his eyes and beer in his belly. And so it came to pass that Snorri left Karaz-a-Karak with Brandr and they began their great adventures in the Dragon Crag.
After spending some time adventuring in Karak Azgal, Snorri was made a Master Engineer of the Skalf's Hold Engineering Guild. Snorri's inventions include the Azthrund and the Hrukidron-Barag.
