Thurik was born in the year 1146 to a humble miner of a vassal clan to Clan Frostbeard during the reign of the old Kingdom of the Dwarves, a little over two hundred years before Thorik Grandaxe would found the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. Thurik’s father had named him closely after the Grand King, and when Thurik was yet in the later stages of his beardling years...he became a blacksmith for the Clan Frostbeard, his family’s patron clan. He helped forge many an axe for his superiors, having learned from an old dwarf of 754 years: Snorki Irontooth. Snorki taught him the advanced arts of crafting durable shafts, hilts, and sharp blades of dwarven make. But before long, Snorki’s age got the better of him, and though his mind was still sharp, his body was infirm and incapable. The weight of caring for his old friend and mentor was now upon Thurik, and he labored hard day and night to provide for the warriors of Urguan in order to maintain a livelihood for himself and Snorki. Yet shortly before the Battle of the Cloud Temple, Thurik returned to his house inside the mountain, perched above the other dwarven dwellings to find Snorki deceased in his sleep. This loss took its toll on Thurik, and for many days and many nights he mourned. Worked did he not, nor fought. He simply lied on the cold, stone bedplace and contemplated his life now that his only friend in the world was gone. But when the battle took place, Thurik had no choice but to rise and flee with the rest of his kin. Participating in the battle as a grunt, he managed to escape with the others to their new destination. The years passed, and Thurik turned to a life of sword and coin. Being a mercenary was the only way Thurik could ease his suffering - he would adventure out multiple times, never staying in one place for too long lest his mind idle and think of those he lost: his father, his mother, his mentor. Recently, when Hamnil Frostbeard became High King of Kaz’Ulrah, Thurik decided to settle in the capital and find a new way of life….something he had not dared to do for countless years, he couldn’t remember. But now he is ready, and willing, to forge a new life of steel and dwarven metal….a life of a mountain dwarf with nothing to lose but everything to gain in the new social order.

They duck into one of the shacks, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the small room, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town?" She begins, then pauses to study their face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a chair, “Where do you come from? What do you hope to make of yourself?”

"Oh, I just, uh…" The traveler stutters, tensing up. They eye the crone, then back outside the shack. For a moment, the air thickens with anticipation, until…
