Nakarian

Keralis was raised by the Goldhand Clan in Urguan by his mother and father. His father and mother were traveling traders, which meant Keralis got to travel often and to strange locations. His father elected to teach him the trading arts in terms of basic trading and financing while his mother made products for her husband to sell. As a result of these travels the young dwarf has experienced many things as a youth does, which is to say “In general but not in depth, in flavor but not in substance.”
 

The art of trading has been more a function of Keralis’ life, learning from his parents, but he has always felt his parents could have done more with their craft. His mother enjoyed making smoked fish and other goods but never attempted to elevate her recipes, always sticking to the tried and true until they became stale and routine. Trying to keep things fresher, he attempted to make his own variations of fish and other small sundries with leather or stone only to find that his frustration is born out of never being able to devote to one thing and not being efficient with his materials.

His youth, being spent on the road and traveling has left him with stories and little experience in terms of his own culture, and most bandits would rather be poor than pick a fight with a dwarf family on the road. As a result Keralis is lacking in depth of his history and homeland, but is also very much willing to learn on the fly. Upon becoming a shortbeard in age, Keralis has stayed behind as his parents left on a far ranging venture, hoping to begin to make a name for himself.
