Background:

A dwarf fighter from a long line of guards (going back 4 generations) for King Harbromm, Skadi has seen up close how important it is for all dwarfkind to have defenders. Many waves of goblinoids have fallen on their determination to protect the noble history of the dwarves.

As most Dwarves that are seen around Faerun today, Skadi was born out of the Thunder blessing (A gift from Moradin to his people, in which existing souls were split when reincarnated and thus providing a boost to the number of dwarves), after the Thunder Blessing most dwarven births were twins, as were the two sons of King Harbromm, ruler of Citadel Adbar.

The Citadel consists of a massive fortified fortress that provided surface access to miles and miles of defensive granite corridors, tunnels, and hallways that wind their way under the Ice Mountains.

Skadi has reached a crossroad in his training, stick to what is known or venture out and seek new ways of strengthening and defeating the enemy of the dwarves.

Together with Ronan Shieldbreaker, he is part of the "breaker brothers".

Goals:

- Find allies to defeat the enemies of all dwarves
- Settle in or create a dwarven citadel

Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
- Bromm and Harnoth, King Harbromm's sons could come looking for Skadi.
- Finding the other half of the soul that Skadi reincarnated from.
- Oppertunity to create (a home in) a dwarven citadel.

Travelling the swordcoast has been a good training oppertunity so far, here is an account on what he has faced so far:

- While accompanied by others he ventured down into the depts of the lair of a monsterous eye that had tentacles spewing forth magic.

- While waiting on friends outside of the inn, a lone orc mystic warned about 'one-eye' telling all creatures to leave. Standing firm, some adventurers were able to defeat waves of the greenblods trying to eradicate all those call the Friendly Arm Inn a safe place to barter and meet.

- While venturing in the cloakwoods, happened upon a talking skeleton asking riddles before vanishing into nothing after given the right answer.

- While seeking refuge at the Friendly Arm Inn, an invasion of beetles and giant ants was repelled by some vigilant defenders.

- Accompanied by Valero, discovered the source of Billberries on an island of of Ulgoth's beard and had to compete with monsters from the lagoon that inhabit the island.

- Striding forth into the dark cave of greenbloods in the Wood of sharp teeth, with Valero by his side once more, Skadi severed the head of the orc chief with a few mighty blows. He delivered it to the flaming fist headquarters for a reward but really he would have done the same if there was no reward.

- Upon hearing rumours of a village that was overrun by Xvart, a few eager adventurers Andiy, Berric, Valero and Skadi went to put an end to the infestation with great success they cleared the are and left many dead in their wake.

- Receiving word that Nashkel was being accosted by giants, Skadi together with Diana, Berric, Valero and Grimm ventured there and took on overwhelming odds and sliced through the hill giant attacks without mercy.
