## History

Hargrim was raised with a clan of Dwarves in the mountains of Katos. He learned all the skills of Dwarven Ironwork - producing beautiful and unyielding steel objects.

But when he was a teenager an earthquake in the mountains rendered him separate from his family and friends. He does not know what became of his clan. He took up smithy work in a local Human village in Katos and his work was prized by the people of the village and surrounding area. Hargrim made a good living and perfected his craft and was accepted into the community and made many friends. But an attack by enemies wiped out the village in fire and bloodshed. Those that survived quickly moved away from the area. Hargrim was able to deter and fight off enemies with his war hammer and he survived the attack. But once again Hargrim was left without a community.

Hargrim travelled to Bacland looking to right the wrongs and destroy enemies. He hopes to either find his home clan again (if they survived) or find some friends/community he can call home again.

After journeying with the party for around one month, he returned to Katos with the group. However on the island of Krellion, he was killed by Sir Valerie.
