**Background:**

Dargrim (Eternally burned) Rustfire of the Rustfire clan hails from the Moonshea isles. As a baby Dargrim was exposed to the spellplague and burnt terribly by the bluefire. Although clerics could heal most of the
scarring the magic of the spellplague left him physically weaker than
most dwarves; weaker than most humans. Since he was so young and some
how miraculously survived but physically weak his mother renamed him
Dargrim which means eternal burn. This would be something he could wear
as a badge of pride as a survivor of the plague, but it would also let
anyone who knows dwarvish why he is weak; but also why he is strong.
Dargrim
 is a Gold dwarf (Hill) who lived his life enjoying the lush valleys and
 panoramic mountainscapes of the Moonshea isles. He lived the life of a
brewer, creating all the alcohols dwarves are known to love. So pretty
much all the alcohol known to the sentient races minus wine. His life
was simple and good until the storm came in 1488. Dargrim was
transported to Frostholm; luckily very close to the city itself. He was
also lucky enough to not come through alone and had several members of
clan Rustfire with him as they all tried to shelter the storm together.
When it became clear that they could not they began to work on a way
out. Little did they know that way out would open a portal to a new
land.
They came through to Frostholm on AS 400. They spent some time
acclimating in Frostholm but as hill dwarves felt the pull to wander, to
 explore this new world and see what it had to offer. For several months
 they enjoyed traveling and experiencing this new world. Stopping at the
 Cat's franchises was a particular favorite. They would live in an area,
 take odd jobs and move on. It was a good life.
Dargrim however
viewed a lot of what was going on differently. He felt with this many
cultures, with his first experience with the multiverse, with so many
looming threats he felt he didn't know enough. He decided to spend

quite
 some time in study. This sounded very boring to his clansmen so they
decided to part ways. From 535 AS Dargrim would take a pilgrimage
spending several months in each great library.
He started in
Demetheim to learn about history and different races and cultures. He
went to Wardensport to learn about the various creatures of the world
and how to hunt them. He went back to Frostholm after much of the
political upheaval had died down and learned about religion; and nature
from the Silenthearts. And lastly he took up a residency in the Library
of the great Caladon Featherstone where he would learn about the arcane.
During
 this time Dargrim stayed up to date on the global news and realized
something. A lot of was going on, a lot of things were changing and it
centered around the over use or misuse of misunderstanding of magic.
Being from the Moonshae he was always taught to distrust magic. Dargrim
didn't trust magic so much as he did the use of it. He decided that he
would begin to campaign for a more responsible use of magic. Hearing
that the nearby town of Holzdorf was governed by a Dwarven wizard from
the Deepdelver clan Dargrim couldn't think of a better place to start
his campaign.
Luckily his clansmen insisted he outfit himself before
setting out even though he would be studying in libraries Dargrim hit
the road for Holzdorf in hope to find audience with the residing Dwarf
Lord.

 big brain help make up for that.
