BACKSTORY

Doloric lived as most Dwarves do, under the flesh of the mountain. In the Western peaks of the Kelgrivosk Mountains the Oathhammer Deep was the largest, most prosperous keep for hundreds of miles. There his family flourished for nine generations under the guidence of his ancestor Dorin Oathhammer and Moradin. Doloric was next in line to ascend to the status of Glan Chief after his father retired and it made his brother furious. So after many years of jealous rage and malice he descended into the mountain to strike a deal with the goblin king Gazul. Gazul agreed to help Varik take over his fathers keep in return for control over the valleys and deepest mines of Variks lands. Varik agreed and gathered his forces, who in the middle of a cold winter night opened the lowest gates of the imnes and allowed the goblins to pour through, slaughtering any who wouldn't take up arms for Varik and his cause. In the end Doric was slain alongside Vivani as they and their soldiers attempted to save fleeing dwarves that had survived Variks' attack. Doric refused to fight his own blood and was struck down by Varik. Doloric barley escaped with his life and wandered the mountain for days in a state of half death. Finally he was rescued by other refugees that had made it down the mountain and he went on, vowing to destroy his brother and Gazul to reclaim his families honor and what was rightfully his.
