 Character Overview

 

 

Description: Delheid is 58 years old, so still a young woman by dwarven standards. She stands at about 4'5 and weighs in at about 160 lbs. She is somewhat muscular owing to her time in Highhome's guard where being fit is a necessity. She has thick, long blonde hair which is bundled up in two thick, short braids. Her eyes are sky blue in color and often narrowed, giving off the impression that she is suspicious of everyone (and this isn't too far from the truth). Although, her expression is often stern, she is capable of smiling and laughing like any dwarf and usually does so when she's in a storytelling mood or had enough ale. She typically wears her armor and some slightly ill-fitting, patchwork common clothes.

 

Personality: Delheid has the kind of attitude you would expect of someone working in a guard house in the worst part of town. She's generally suspicious of other people, stern, no-nonsense, and by the book. Perhaps that's why it catches people off-guard that Delheid not only doesn't work a regular beat being a cook and entertainer for morale-boosting, but also that she does entertain on the side with tales and stories of derring-do and outrageous adventures. There is nothing Delheid appreciates more than a good story. So, she's not a total stick in the mud. Delheid is generally an honest person, some would even say too honest given how blunt she can be, but that doesn't mean she's incapable of lying. If it serves the law and the greater good, Delheid has no qualms with telling a well-placed lie here and there. In fact, Delheid might be a dwarven rarity in that she likes to try talking to solve problems first before resorting to violence. 

 

Background: 

Delheid grew up in Highhome in the mid-sized clan of Battlecry. Her parents fought often, so from a young age, Delheid did what she could to avoid dealing with her parents - occasionally staying over at a favorite cousin's home or simply walking the streets and familiarizing herself with her surroundings. Being a mid-sized clan of little note, the Battlecry served in Highhome in various menial jobs such as servants, cooks, some entertainers, etc. Delheid was a big fan of her Aunt Mildred Battlecry who played the drums at taverns in Highhome. This became the starting point for an interest in music for her. She would learn from her aunt how to play various instruments. One day, her aunt was said to have left Highhome and from that point on never returned. Delheid became convinced something unfortunate had happened to her aunt. She searched through her belongings and found her aunt's diary but seven pages were missing from it. Not much of a reader, Delheid nonetheless read and kept the diary - though, it gave no clues as to what happened to her aunt. The disappearance of her aunt ultimately led to her becoming a part of the cragwardens in hopes of preventing any other such unexpected disappearances from happening.

Delheid didn't have much skill as an investigator, unfortunately, but the cragwardens still accepted her and found a place for her to serve. Despite serving in the worst part of town, Delheid's routine was largely ho-hum. As part of the support staff, she would cook meals and tidy up around the guard house. She did have one interesting experience of note, though. While off-duty, she once single-handedly stopped an assassin from stabbing a noble. She did this by using her body as a dwarven shield, but still, she stopped him! Fortunately, Delheid lived through the experience and kept the dagger as a reminder of her own heroism. It was this experience that would lead to King Finellen taking an interest in her later as a potential recruit to the Dwarven Mountain. 

Other Details: One of Delheid's cousins is a librarian in Highhome. He was the one who gave her the book of the tale of a legendary hero's rise and fall with the last chapter missing. Delheid usually prefers oral storytelling over book stories, but this book intrigued her because of the missing last chapter. She has found herself on occasion repeating the story while she's storytelling and then making up an ending that usually ends with the question "But that's just one way it could have ended." Delheid dreams of becoming a legendary hero herself someday. 

Delheid is particularly fond of the deity Haela Brightaxe.
