Your Character's Plothook: 2. Coltan and Ispin defended a community from a notorious band of goblin raiders.
Past is Prologue: Coltan was born in 300 AC at the home of his maternal grandparents at Hillhome, a Neidar village located west of Thorbardin on the Passroad. After a year, Scoria née Firforge rejoined her husband Norite Bluetemper on the road with their new son. Norite and Scoria traveled Ansalom as itinerant blacksmiths visiting villages which do not have resident smiths. For almost 50 years, Coltan has traveled the continent with his parents who seem to be friends with everyone. Actually, not everyone likes them, but they have more friends and acquaintances than rivals. Now, Coltan is as famous as his parents among the small villages who haven't had a resident blacksmith and the trails connecting me.
Sixteen years ago, he met Ispin when they defended a village from a notorious band of goblin raiders. They traveled together for months and have kept in touch over the years.
Last year, Coltan celebrated his fullbeard day in Hillhome with his parents and mother's family. His parents gifted him a set of chain mail and warhammer of their own make and his own set of traveling smiths' tools. However, inspired by his cousin Flint, Coltan decided to start traveling on his own. While his father was disappointed to separate from his only son, he grudgingly accepted it and gifted his personal holy symbol of Reorx to guide his son.
Truths, Rumors, and Lies:

Include at least two of the following:
- Is Might Right? Coltan has seen the best of people governed within small communities and villages. He would be skeptical of the corruption of larger governments which maintain armies.
- Diety. Coltan's parents trained Coltan to believe Reorx created the world, dwarves, and the ability of crafting. While Reorx doesn't answer his prayers, his faith is no less strong.
- Music. He grew up next to a forge, so the sounds of striking hammers, breathing bellows, and hissing quenches comfort him, so the modern songs of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin would comfort him. In addition, he's dwarf who likes to drink and party, so Irish drinking songs would be how he parties.
