Falk Frostwrought was a sworn warrior of the Grand Kingdom of Urguan, and he served the Dwed kingdom as a faithful soldier for many years. Most of his service was during a time of peace, but in 1631 the War of the Beards began. Falk was called to go to war, leaving the live he had built behind. Initially, Falk was excited to enter the conflict; young and naive, he had never been a part of a large battle before, and was eager to wet his axe. During the early years of the war, his unit was involved in a few small skirmishes, but Falk’s first real battle came in 1634, with the battle of Jornheim Fields. During the battle, Falk was knocked unconscious by a charging cavalryman and his leg was trampled. When he awoke, the Coalition had won the battle and had already continued down the road, leaving only a small group of soldiers behind to care for the dead. Against great odds, Falk was able to kill one of these soldiers, disguise himself in his armor, and escape into the wildlands, where he would spend almost two years nursing his leg and preparing to return to Urguan.
When Falk was finally healthy enough to rejoin the ranks of Urguan, he descended from the cave that had sheltered him and began to seek out his Dwed in arms. However, he was too late, the war had ended and Urguan had been defeated. Fearful that either side would condemn him a traitor, Falk returned to his exile in the wilderness. In 1714, when Under-King Fimlin Grandaxe pardoned every political enemy of the Under-Realm, Falk finally saw his chance to rejoin his fellow dwarves.
Now, Falk seeks to rejoin the Dwarven military and wants to use this second chance to regain his lost honor.
