## History

### Exodus from Alderdeep

On the day Alderdeep was invaded, his father Dorri was forced to leave. Being a single father, he was needed to raise his son well. He packed his son into a sack, and with the sack on his back took the small Gromrik across Fife, into Dundee.

It was plagued with peril, beasts and men trying to stop them. But they made it through, and found a small home in Dundee. Gromrik was only 7.

### Life in Dundee

He worked with his father in Dorri and Sons forge on the streets of Dundee, and he learned how to craft and smelt. Making a fine profit, they bought a moderate sized house, which they loved.

This home was in the outside area of the Dwarf district, a White House with a reinforced roof. They had many other Dwarf Neihbors.

The Journeymen smelter Gromrik recurved a gift from his father, two in fact. One, Dorris Warhammer. And two, the Steelwill helmet. The Steelwill helmet a helmet used by generations of his ancestors, and the Warhammer a gift from his father. Dwarfs treasure both.

### Death of Dorri

Dorri does at a good age of 622. Gromrik made sure to burry him in a fancy ceremony, that had many visitors, customers and friends gained through there time at Dundee. This funeral was in the famous Dundee Graveyard.

Now Gromrik was sixty, nearing adulthood at 65. He remembered the wrongs done by Kobolgs. He remembered how Dorri said they kidnapped his mother. He felt the call of adventure, and looks to Scotchland to answer it.
