Biography:

 

Edel Frostbeard was born in the Dwarven City of Kal’Omith in the Frostbeard Clan hall. He Grew up with his Clan raised by his father Throri, and soon to be brother Throrin. Edel’s Childhood was as most Dwarven childhoods are, very eventful, his father once took him off to Courland on the road there Edel would run ahead playing along the road swinging sticks at imaginary opponents loudly shouting and laughing.

He would run around a corner out of his father's view and bump right into a pack of orcs who would turn around and look down at the tiny dwarf child, one of them would pick up Edel by his coat's collar and smell him, smiling and then started to walk off with the little dwarf. Edel would begin to cry and kick and scream but the orc would simply grab his large hand around the little dwarfs head covering his mouth. Edel would attempt to knaw on the hand, but he’d simply chuckle as it would tickle him.

Edel’s father Throri noticed his son was gone, he would unsheathe his axe, soon to be named “Oathkeeper”, and his sword and tried find his missing son. Throri finds his son on the outskirts of hallowfell with a pack of orcs, throri would Stealthily sneak up behind two of them and put his axe into one's head and slit the other ones throat with his sword accidently causing the second largest orc to fall to the floor with a large thump. All the other orcs unsheathed their brutal weapons and throri sheathed his sword and pulled out his second axe he had made to commemorate his youngest son’s birth. The remaining four orcs charged at throri, whilst the orc carrying Edel started to jog away. Thori swung his axe at the first charging orcs knee, breaking its kneecap then quickly pulled it out and struck the orcs neck with immense strength knocking its head off, then throri then turned his attention to the other charging orc, he ran at it then quickly slid under the 7ft orcs legs and swung his axe upwards hitting the orc where the sun doesn't shine, he ripped the axe out with a mass of blood pouring down he then jumped up behind the orc and twisted the orc to face him, he savagely sliced the orc around the belly where a mass of guts and blood poured out onto the floor. the other two however attacked together, throri blocked their attacks together but he fell onto the floor with their immense strength.

 

The orcs would bash again and again and again trying to break Throri’s block, until all of a sudden, Throri would quickly roll to his side and slice one of the orcs tendons on its lower end of the leg, Throri would quickly stand up and slit the orcs neck, a mass of blood would spray around and even onto Throri himself, the other orc would rush at Throri screaming in it's native tongue, swinging it's mace around his head. The orc would backhand at Throri, Throri would duck at the backhand and lunges at the orc and headbuts it in the face. The orc, dazed, would drop it's mace and unsheathed a dagger that looks an awful lot like a breadknife, Throri would get cut along his left arm, angered by this Throri would swing “Oathkeeper” upwards slicing off the orcs hand and then would bring up his axe above his head and brought it down upon the orcs head carving it in two. The orcs body slumps down onto the courland grass, pouring out a mass of Scarlet red blood.

 

Throri would pay attention to the orc running away with his child. Throri would quickly prayer to anbella, his patron god, and then he kiss his axe, he would then run after the largest orc and throw his axe at it's back. Edel closes his eyes and starts to cry as the orc starts to fall to the floor. Throri would walk over to the dying orc and pulls out his axe from it's back, then starts to walk angrily to the orcs neck, removing it's hair away from it's neck. Throri would then bring his axe above his head and brought it down with immense strength, separating the orcs head from it's neck. Throri would kick the orcs body, rolling it onto it's back, he then removes the orcs hand from his son.

 

Edel would hug his father after opening his eyes again, the orc laying dead on the ground blood flowing into a large puddle around him. Throri would hug his son back telling him it would all be good again, putting his son up on his shoulder to carry him away back towards Courland.

After that Edel would begin to train regularly with his father in hand to hand combat for situations where he didn’t have a weapon, in one handed chopping axes to two handed cutting axes, with swords and shields, which was Edel’s prefered choice, and in duel welding of different kinds. He excelled in creative combat, using everything he could to get a dirty advantage over his opponent. A lot of dwarves would respect the way he handled pain, but shun the way he would use Foul distractions and items in his surroundings to get an edge over his opponent, saying that Edel had no honour in his way of fighting.

His father accepted his way of fighting, seeing as it would help his son if he was ever kidnaped again, which was the reason he trained his son so to begin with. But as Edel grew he started to get worried as his son was showing signs of his recklessness way in everyday life, he would sometimes steal food from the kitchen. And do other tricks and mischief to the other dwarves. Throri would attempt to set a stop to this by telling Edel stories of the glorious dwarves of the past those who achieved greatness the patrons of the dwarves.

 

Edel would take this stories to heart, he had grown up with them but now that he heard them all again, not as bedtimes stories but as lessons from his father he realised that he must go out and seek his destiny. This was not what his father had intended but at the age of 15 Edel would leave the other dwarves to find his own destiny and make a name for himself. As he was going to leave the entire Frostbeard clan came to see him off, some begged him to stay and called him a fool for leaving at such a young age, others wished him luck his father thought, that he was becoming a man and was glad that he was finding his own destiny but sad that his son and friend was leaving so soon, Throri would hand Edel a belt and his coat along with his mother's necklace to make Edel remember his clan and his father. Edel was determined, he would find glory and make a name for himself, he was gifted some food for the journey and he was off.

 

Well on the road he found himself quickly out of both food and money and his grand journey taking a sudden halt, he had to resort to working with whatever he came across, first of all it was helping local farmers, working in mines, and other honest work. But he soon found himself unable to survive on this and complemented with some hunting, but as winter swept over the land he would once again find himself walking without work, or food. Desperately he would lend his skills to anyone who would pay him, in money or a meal for the day, this was how he started to run with less honest folk. His skills in mischief and strength used to commit crimes and intimidate people, banditry and other less honest things.

 

He came to the town of Courland, he hadn’t been there since he was a little child all those years ago, he found himself continuing his life doing shady business there. He would find a lot of work from the different nobles and gang leaders wanting to get someone beaten to a pulp for some reason or another.

He would walk down the roads looking at the different expensive items on display closely watched by the stall owners. Some of them giving Edel eyes of caution knowing his reputation, others giving him glimpses showing fear. They knew him as the man who beats people for money. No one would look at him as a customer as he walked down the road he was seen as nothing but trouble for all of them.

He would enter a small tavern and the innkeeper would sigh as he did, not sure wether to try and hide his valuable beer from getting destroyed, or serve it up to Edel. Edel would look around the tavern he’d take a stool by the bar a sigh of relief would be heard from the innkeeper as Edel was only there to drink. he’d walk up to him cleaning a glass with a rug.

 

He’d ask Edel what he’d like to drink today, Edel would reply with the usual order and the Innkeeper would put down the glass he was cleaning on the table in front of Edel lean down and pick up a bottle placing it next to Edel’s glass. Edel would grab the bottle and pour it into his glass placing it back next to the glass and grab the glass moving it to his lips. He’d empty the glass with a single jug and give of a load and happy burp, placing the glass back down on the table.

Edel would look at his old friend the Innkeeper with a smile and tell him to stop looking so worried, that this visit isn’t like last week where he broke half the tavern in a fight. The innkeeper would nervously smile back watching Edel close as he poured another glass.

 

During these visits to the tavern Edel would hear stories about his father’s adventures about him, becoming a friend to the late Grand King Bastion, starting a fight with the leader of the sewers Baldrek and becoming a member of the Bearguard, later becoming Captain of the Bearguard. Edel thought about his father every day since he left Kal’Omith.

 

He also realised that his father was gaining a lot of reputation, this pressured Edel as he had set of to make a name for himself, and had yet to do so. He started to reconsider his life. He kept wandering the lands now split on whether to return to his clan a failure or keep wandering the land in search for glory.

 

It was until one day that he received word, from a messenger sent by his father, that his little brother and friend Throrin was ambushed and killed by a party of Nord soldiers , Edel would say to himself over and over again, I should of been there with you, I shouldn't of left you and father, I will return one day, I promise.

 

A year passed until one day there was talk about The Grand Kings Death, he decided to pack up his stuff in courland and would start to make his way back to Kal’Omith to find his father, unknown to him but his father was in courland just a moment after him, trying to kill Baldrek, the self proclaimed king of the Courlandic Sewers.

 

Upon reaching Kal'Omith he sees chaos, loads of riots happening and many Grandaxes shouting “YOU ARE TRAITORS TO URGUAN!”. Edel confused about what was going on asks the nearest dwarf to him, unknown to him was a friend of his father, Adal Ireheart, he would find out that the Frostbeard's took over Kal'Omith and did a massacre in the council chambers , he then later said the cowardly Frostbeard's have locked themselves in their clan hall.

 

Edel would run up the steps towards the clan hall where he was born, silence, nobody was home, not even his father. he felt alone, abandoned, he didn’t know if they were all dead or had abandoned their hall and him. He would walk down the steps back towards the riots until he heard something that made his brain start to tick, THE COWARDLY FROSTBEARD'S HAVE HID THEMSELVES IN JORNHEIM IN THE NORTH.

 

Edel would leave Kal'Omith on his adventure to the north to find his father, he spent many days and nights on the road to Jornheim until one day, he saw someone, someone he remembered, his father. He would dismount his horse and starts to Sprint towards his father who was now noticing him. Edel would jump onto his father and accidently push him to the floor with his weight, Throri was confused at first why a random stranger was taking him down to the floor, but then he started to look at Edels facial features and at his eyes, Edel had his mother's eyes, he realised it was his son.

 

Edel would lift up his father off the ground and would notice something different about him, his father had a scar running down his face diagonally. Throri and Edel hugged for a long period of time until Edel let's go saying that, he shouldn't of left his younger brother, he should of been there with him, he shouldnt of cared about himself and should've cared about his family.

Edel and Throri returned to the North and the other Frostbeard’s where Throri showed Edel the grave of his brother in the Frostbeard’s crypt, Edel swore vengeance on his brother, and all those who wronged him and his clan, shortly after his father forged him an axe, and Edel was reunited with his grandfather for the first time since he was 5 winters old.
