Kordenn was born of a mountain dwarf mother and a cave dwarf father. Both his parents lived in Rhewengrad, until the day when the city was attacked by the Orenian Empire. His father joined the defense forces, and when it became evident that the attackers could not be driven away, his mother tried to escape the city, still pregnant, as it fell under the siege of the human invader. Unfortunately, due to her condition, she wasn't able to make it far, and passed out in the surroundings. She was later discovered by the invading army of Orel, and taken in charge by the human medics. And so, Kordenn was born in Felsen, amidst the humans. Though his mother adapted to life in the Orenian capital, despite the loss of her husband to their hands, Kordenn never took a liking to his hosts. Inheriting more from his father's side of the family, he longed for the company of his kin. He grew distant, and though he still studied and worked among humans, he never enjoyed their company. His cave dwarf heritage attracted many glances, often curious, sometimes contemptuous. When the descendant left Axios, he chose to return to his people, leaving behind the human empire, his only regret being that his mother chose to remain with the Orenians, perhaps too ashamed to come back. The young dwarf, though he was accepted within his kin, was nicknamed "Da Yrrok Dwed", the foreigner Dwarf. Even so, his knowledge of human craft, added to what he learned within the Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah, made him a useful asset for the dwarves, and he settled with the cave dwarf clans. He now resides in Kal'Tarak, on the continent of Atlas.
