"Us Blacklocks seem teew ambious fer ye, eh? Har har! I onleh kidd ye. Ah woise move, 'nd aye we shall meet soon." [Just finished my first round of exams. Now I got some time! ;) ]

"Aye lad! Come take a seat 'n tell me 'bout yerself." After talking for awhile Grimli turns to Kron. "Ah fink ye are jus' w'at dis clan needs to git off th' ground! Ah welcome ye tew clan Blacklock. Feel free to bring any udder lands in tew the clan!"

Dwarves of the Blacklocks The name Blacklocks is derived from when the traveling dwarves that Grimli accompanied would always lock their chests, doors and strongboxes with large, cast ferrum locks. This was to ensure that no foreigner would take their treasure hordes in the night, as they had no vault to keep them. The Blacklock dwarves are not so much as a blood related clan as most of them have been traveling companions most of their lives and developed the clan to keep their dwarven traditions strong in foreign cities. They keep this tradition by commonly introducing members that are not of their original bloodline, which as faded from memory as no one knows their true lineage anymore. It is not uncommon to see a group of Blacklocks with different coloured hair. The original dwarves of the Blacklocks were mostly craftsdwarves; cutting gems, smithing jewelry and the occasional smithing of weapons and armours. This is not to say the Blacklocks can't fight, just the original members had no need to since the cities they stayed in had this protection for them. [Due to this being a brand new clan, I have not added much information to the lore and or characteristics of the clan. Once more members join, the clan should begin to form itself though the IG actions of the dwarves within it.] Now the Blacklock Clan looks for a home. Do ye have the stomach to become a Blacklock?

In-Character Information Character’s name: Grimli Blacklock Character’s gender: Male Character’s race: Dwarf Character’s age: 68 Biography (Please make it a decent two paragraphs long. Remember to add server lore, and events that happened to your character so that they don’t contradict history.): (I prefer to keep this short as to create most of Grimli's story through actual gameplay.) As a young babe, Grimli was exiled with the Ironborn that took the dwarven capital city. He was mistaken by one of their kind since he was stolen by the Ironborn during the attack. The clan that whence he was from remains a mystery. He was raised as a dwarf, not in any ritualistic fashion of the undead following Ironborn, but as a regular dwarf. Regular in the sense that he was not regular at all. In fact Grimli was an odd one as he was accustom to the art of travelling. Something most dwarves never even conceive as they are very sedentary. But compared to that of an true Ironborn dwarf, he was not alike at all. After awhile, Grimli took off on his own when the Undead broke the great human kingdom. Fearing the undead might come down and take him away, he fled to the elven cities down south. He found work in a border town and was paid to fell trees. This is where Grimli's story begins. Personality Traits: Grimli is a travelling dwarf, not accustom to many of the dwarves of the main kingdom. Although he doesn't know the current customs, Grimli still has a feel for dwarven edicate and understands the deep rituals and customs of the dwarves. Ambitions: Grimli hopes to establish his own family line in the hopes that he will achieve great things for family and honour. Strengths/Talents: Since Grimli is a traveler, he understands the customs of different cultures, mostly the elvish kind, which is strange for a dwarf seeing as most of their kind don't see eye to eye. His best talent is that of story telling in which he can paint vivid pictures and draw his audience in. This is his greatest strength, a silver tongue. Weaknesses/Inabilities: His greatest weakness is that he has deep trust in other races other than dwarves. Since they are not bred with the tradition of honour bond oaths, they tend to turn their backs on Grimli in his time of need. Grimli is also a dwarf that does not take part in many combat roles that usually take place within dwarf culture. He is very ashamed of his inablitity to fight like a true dwarf because he was never brought up as a fighter. Appearance (List the extra details of your characters appearance, IE; height & weight): Grimli is dressed in traditional dwarven gear with some variants. He has a long red beard and a low bushy brow. He is of average dwarf height and a bit leaner on the weight. Appearance, please provide us a screenshot of your character’s skin (If you need help, see our screenshot guide here):
