Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): - When Urthic was born he was whisked away from his mother, as most children are due to the rarity of dwarven females he was destined to never know his mother. A single child, growing up with his father constantly in the mines, Urthic was naturally drawn to the tunnels. At a young age he found himself assisting his father with tunneling. His father constantly challenged him to work as hard as he could and quickly made a name of himself and found himself in good standing with his clan mates.
Unfortunately, Urthic’s father met his demise in a cavern when the floor beneath him crumbled and he slid to his death into a ravine. It took 2 days for the dwarves to dig and scale down the side of the ravine to retrieve the body. Urthic was filled with rage, his father was buried with proper rights but deep down inside he knew his father had his honor stripped from him by the ravine. He became fueled by the rage inside, taking up his father’s pickaxe and has attacked walls that betrayed his father, to this day hoping to find a way to regain his father’s honor.
