Dahr-Ol, Son of Throl

Gender: Male
Culture: Beorning, of Hillman descentBeornings are rugged men with brawny arms and legs, and lively women with undaunted eyes. Their spirit is reflected in their appearance: the women have long, wild hair and the men unkempt beards. Born free, they pay no tribute nor bow to any crown, keeping at peace the strip of land they have chosen as their own. All foes of the Beornings are mortal foes, but friends who prove to be trustworthy are friends for life.

Calling: WardenIn this age of the world where shadows grow deeper with every passing year, you have sworn to defend all who cannot defend themselves. Often, your choice forces you to forsake civilised areas, to better guard their inhabitants from what lurks right outside their fences. This has made you a stranger to the eyes of the common folk, a threatening figure like those you are protecting them from.
Distinctive Features: CuriousYour inquisitive nature is easily aroused by what is often not your concern.SuspiciousYou strongly believe in the old proverb that says that ‘he who trusts not, is not deceived’ and live by its words.

Standard of Living: MartialIndividuals belonging to a Martial culture often live according to their status in the military hierarchy, with simple warriors and soldiers sleeping together in a common area; probably as part of the household of a renowned chieftain or noble. Meals are usually consumed in large halls, with seats and tables arranged to observe rules of precedence or respect. Clothing reflects the military status of an individual as well, or that of his family.

Martial player-heroes have enough resources to look after themselves, and to pay for such things as simple accommodation and meals. Ever mindful of the cost of any luxury, they often lead an austere life, or resort to haggling to lower the price of whatever they are trying to get hold of.

Cultural Blessing: FuriousSwiftly he returned and his wrath was redoubled…

• Beornings fight like cornered animals: when they see their own blood they are filled with a red wrath. During combat, a Wounded Beorning ignores the effects of being Weary (whether he was injured during the same fight or not).

Shadow Weakness: Wandering MadnessWandering without ever really settling down might be the destiny of most adventurers, but it carries the risk of never finding something to live for. The road goes ever on and on, it’s true, but whither then?

Specialties: MountaineerYou are familiar with the difficulties often encountered when crossing mountain passes, and with the ways of overcoming them.Stone-CraftCutting rock to build works of stone such as walls, halls and towers is a precious skill, revered among the highest forms of craftsmanship. You are able to discern the diverse qualities of the many building materials employed in Middle-earth, and to evaluate the use they are put to.Folk-LoreYou possess some knowledge of the many traditional customs, beliefs and stories of the various communities that compose the Free Peoples. Likely the result of your wanderings, this information may help you when dealing with strangers, letting you come up with some useful fact regarding their folk or a smattering of the appropriate language. Wanderers generally pick up this Trait during their time on the road.

Tale of the Years

Your folk were a wandering folk, travelling far and wide, seeking the realms of Men to offer their services, so that they could eke out a living as smiths, masons or traders. Now all of this is in the past, for Erebor has been restored, and there is a home for every dwarf, and gold and treasure to be had. You tried to follow your kin, and for a while you dwelt there, but quickly you discovered that you were restless : for you have grown to love the road, and the life of a wanderer, and at times prefer the company of Men to that of Durin's folk, though this you would not dare tell.

 

During the Spring of 2949, Barin accompanied his kinsman Bofri and his work crew, along with a fellowship of assorted adventurers from all the allied races on an expedition to the Southern end of the Long Marshes in order to locate the Eastfort - the reputed eastern terminus of the old Southern Trading Road that once ran across the Greenwood. Instead of finding the ruined Eastfort, the fellowship instead stumbled upon a set of ruins that appeared to be a town, or village constructed once by the ancient men of Númenor. However, whilst discovering a vast store of riches below the ruins, the fellowship also discovered that they were home to a corrupt civilisation of Marsh Dwellers - humanoid figures adapted to their environment, and fiercely territorial over their home and wealth. Barely escaping with their lives, the fellowship managed to return back to the safety of Lake-town and the Northern Kingdoms ready to relay their discoveries to their sponsors and try to gather up the interest to return. This time, with enough swords at their backs to ensure their success ...

 

During the Winter of 2950, Barin found himself on the Western side of Mirkwood. Tasked by King Dain to ascertain the depth to which the Northern Orcs had overrun the previous holdings of his kin. Accompanied by Celebros the Elf, he became embroiled in a diplomatic mission to the Northern holdings of Viglund, a human theign in the far north of Rhovanion. Things went sideways fairly quickly when it transpired that Viglund was both warlike and treacherous, and Barin and his companions found themselves compelled to travel Westwards across the wild lands of the hillman tribes and into the shadows of Mount Gundabad. Their journey was not without tragedy however, with the sad loss of the Elf Celebros on the way. Finding a lost tower, seemingly of Human, Elven and Dwarven construction, the fellowship found a way through the magical lock barring entry and wound up under siege from the tribes of Orcs, Goblins, Wargs and Hillmen in the region. They were able to hold long enough for aid to arrive from Viglund and his people, and Beorn. Once all had settled, Barin elected to remain at the tower through the winter, that when Beorn's people travelled South in the Spring, he could, with their aid, revisit the site where his fallen companion had been lain to rest and erect a fitting shrine.

Distinctive Features: CuriousYour inquisitive nature is easily aroused by what is often not your concern.SuspiciousYou strongly believe in the old proverb that says that ‘he who trusts not, is not deceived’ and live by its words.

Standard of Living: FrugalFrugal folk usually sleep in comfortable common halls (or tents, if nomadic) and eat the produce of their own lands and pastures. They wear simple clothes at most times, although they may possess finer garments for special gatherings like season festivals, marriages or funerals. Jewels and other superior ornaments, if any are in the keeping of members of the society, are treasured as possessions belonging to the community, and are passed down through generations of appointed keepers.

Adventurers coming from a Frugal folk do not usually carry anything of unusual worth (unless as part of their war gear), with the possible exception of one or two pieces of expensive clothing or common jewellery, like a rich mantle or a golden necklace or bracelet; probably a token of their status among their peers. Consequently, Frugal adventurers can rarely afford to pay for anything, and prefer to find or make what they need instead.

Cultural Blessing: RedoubtableThe legendary stubborness of Dwarves lets them endure burdens that would break the back of the sturdiest of Men.

• Dwarf characters calculate their Fatigue threshold by adding up the Encumbrance ratings of all the items they are carrying, and then subtracting their favoured Heart score from the total.

You tried to follow your kin, and for a while you dwelt there, but quickly you discovered that you were restless : for you have grown to love the road, and the life of a wanderer, and at times prefer the company of Men to that of Durin's folk, though this you would not dare tell.

 

During the Spring of 2949, Barin accompanied his kinsman Bofri and his work crew, along with a fellowship of assorted adventurers from all the allied races on an expedition to the Southern end of the Long Marshes in order to locate the Eastfort - the reputed eastern terminus of the old Southern Trading Road that once ran across the Greenwood. Instead of finding the ruined Eastfort, the fellowship instead stumbled upon a set of ruins that appeared to be a town, or village constructed once by the ancient men of Númenor. However, whilst discovering a vast store of riches below the ruins, the fellowship also discovered that they were home to a corrupt civilisation of Marsh Dwellers - humanoid figures adapted to their environment, and fiercely territorial over their home and wealth. Barely escaping with their lives, the fellowship managed to return back to the safety of Lake-town and the Northern Kingdoms ready to relay their discoveries to their sponsors and try to gather up the interest to return. This time, with enough swords at their backs to ensure their success ...

 

During the Winter of 2950, Barin found himself on the Western side of Mirkwood. Tasked by King Dain to ascertain the depth to which the Northern Orcs had overrun the previous holdings of his kin. Accompanied by Celebros the Elf, he became embroiled in a diplomatic mission to the Northern holdings of Viglund, a human theign in the far north of Rhovanion. Things went sideways fairly quickly when it transpired that Viglund was both warlike and treacherous, and Barin and his companions found themselves compelled to travel Westwards across the wild lands of the hillman tribes and into the shadows of Mount Gundabad. Their journey was not without tragedy however, with the sad loss of the Elf Celebros on the way. Finding a lost tower, seemingly of Human, Elven and Dwarven construction, the fellowship found a way through the magical lock barring entry and wound up under siege from the tribes of Orcs, Goblins, Wargs and Hillmen in the region. They were able to hold long enough for aid to arrive from Viglund and his people, and Beorn. Once all had settled, Barin elected to remain at the tower through the winter, that when Beorn's people travelled South in the Spring, he could, with their aid, revisit the site where his fallen companion had been lain to rest and erect a fitting shrine.

Dahr-Ol, Son of Throl

Gender: Male
Culture: Beorning, of Hillman descentBeornings are rugged men with brawny arms and legs, and lively women with undaunted eyes. Their spirit is reflected in their appearance: the women have long, wild hair and the men unkempt beards. Born free, they pay no tribute nor bow to any crown, keeping at peace the strip of land they have chosen as their own. All foes of the Beornings are mortal foes, but friends who prove to be trustworthy are friends for life.


Calling: WandererYou see the wonders of living in Middle-earth even where the Shadow is deepest. Every corner of the land holds a promise of untold secrets, and this is why you have decided that any dell, cave and river vale can be your home, albeit briefly. For when the morning comes, another horizon will show your new destination.
Distinctive Features: CunningYour wit is sharp, and you are ready to use it to your advantage.HardyYou can withstand long hours of toil and travel far without rest, or under extreme conditions.

Standard of Living: FrugalFrugal folk usually sleep in comfortable common halls (or tents, if nomadic) and eat the produce of their own lands and pastures. They wear simple clothes at most times, although they may possess finer garments for special gatherings like season festivals, marriages or funerals. Jewels and other superior ornaments, if any are in the keeping of members of the society, are treasured as possessions belonging to the community, and are passed down through generations of appointed keepers.

Adventurers coming from a Frugal folk do not usually carry anything of unusual worth (unless as part of their war gear), with the possible exception of one or two pieces of expensive clothing or common jewellery, like a rich mantle or a golden necklace or bracelet; probably a token of their status among their peers. Consequently, Frugal adventurers can rarely afford to pay for anything, and prefer to find or make what they need instead.

Cultural Blessing: RedoubtableThe legendary stubborness of Dwarves lets them endure burdens that would break the back of the sturdiest of Men.

• Dwarf characters calculate their Fatigue threshold by adding up the Encumbrance ratings of all the items they are carrying, and then subtracting their favoured Heart score from the total.

Shadow Weakness: Wandering MadnessWandering without ever really settling down might be the destiny of most adventurers, but it carries the risk of never finding something to live for. The road goes ever on and on, it’s true, but whither then?

Specialties: MountaineerYou are familiar with the difficulties often encountered when crossing mountain passes, and with the ways of overcoming them.Stone-CraftCutting rock to build works of stone such as walls, halls and towers is a precious skill, revered among the highest forms of craftsmanship.

Dahr-Ol, Son of Throl

Gender: Male
Culture: Beorning, of Hillman descentThe lean and travel-worn Dwarves of the Grey Mountains have a dour look about them and suspicion ever in their eyes, but when approached prove to be the most gracious of all those belonging to Durin’s Folk, a politeness that is probably due to their knowledge of the ways of many lands. Often bent over with toil, they sometimes seem slightly shorter than their kin – though when they stand tall their Longbeard ancestry reveals itself, especially in their proud noses and piercing eyes.

Tale of the Years

Your folk were a wandering folk, travelling far and wide, seeking the realms of Men to offer their services, so that they could eke out a living as smiths, masons or traders. Now all of this is in the past, for Erebor has been restored, and there is a home for every dwarf, and gold and treasure to be had. You tried to follow your kin, and for a while you dwelt there, but quickly you discovered that you were restless : for you have grown to love the road, and the life of a wanderer, and at times prefer the company of Men to that of Durin's folk, though this you would not dare tell.

 

During the Spring of 2949, Barin accompanied his kinsman Bofri and his work crew, along with a fellowship of assorted adventurers from all the allied races on an expedition to the Southern end of the Long Marshes in order to locate the Eastfort - the reputed eastern terminus of the old Southern Trading Road that once ran across the Greenwood. Instead of finding the ruined Eastfort, the fellowship instead stumbled upon a set of ruins that appeared to be a town, or village constructed once by the ancient men of Númenor. However, whilst discovering a vast store of riches below the ruins, the fellowship also discovered that they were home to a corrupt civilisation of Marsh Dwellers - humanoid figures adapted to their environment, and fiercely territorial over their home and wealth. Barely escaping with their lives, the fellowship managed to return back to the safety of Lake-town and the Northern Kingdoms ready to relay their discoveries to their sponsors and try to gather up the interest to return. This time, with enough swords at their backs to ensure their success ...

 

During the Winter of 2950, Barin found himself on the Western side of Mirkwood. Tasked by King Dain to ascertain the depth to which the Northern Orcs had overrun the previous holdings of his kin. Accompanied by Celebros the Elf, he became embroiled in a diplomatic mission to the Northern holdings of Viglund, a human theign in the far north of Rhovanion. Things went sideways fairly quickly when it transpired that Viglund was both warlike and treacherous, and Barin and his companions found themselves compelled to travel Westwards across the wild lands of the hillman tribes and into the shadows of Mount Gundabad. Their journey was not without tragedy however, with the sad loss of the Elf Celebros on the way. Finding a lost tower, seemingly of Human, Elven and Dwarven construction, the fellowship found a way through the magical lock barring entry and wound up under siege from the tribes of Orcs, Goblins, Wargs and Hillmen in the region. They were able to hold long enough for aid to arrive from Viglund and his people, and Beorn. Once all had settled, Barin elected to remain at the tower through the winter, that when Beorn's people travelled South in the Spring, he could, with their aid, revisit the site where his fallen companion had been lain to rest and erect a fitting shrine.

Barin Greycloak

Gender: Male
Culture: Dwarf of the Grey MountainsThe lean and travel-worn Dwarves of the Grey Mountains have a dour look about them and suspicion ever in their eyes, but when approached prove to be the most gracious of all those belonging to Durin’s Folk, a politeness that is probably due to their knowledge of the ways of many lands. Often bent over with toil, they sometimes seem slightly shorter than their kin – though when they stand tall their Longbeard ancestry reveals itself, especially in their proud noses and piercing eyes.

Typically, the Dwarves of the Grey Mountains carry the tools of their craft with them at almost all times, ever ready for the next opportunity to ply their trade. When they do go to war, they seem to favour the same instruments they use when working, as they wield mattocks and stout axes of blackened iron.

Calling: WandererYou see the wonders of living in Middle-earth even where the Shadow is deepest. Every corner of the land holds a promise of untold secrets, and this is why you have decided that any dell, cave and river vale can be your home, albeit briefly. For when the morning comes, another horizon will show your new destination.
Distinctive Features: CunningYour wit is sharp, and you are ready to use it to your advantage.HardyYou can withstand long hours of toil and travel far without rest, or under extreme conditions.

Standard of Living: FrugalFrugal folk usually sleep in comfortable common halls (or tents, if nomadic) and eat the produce of their own lands and pastures. They wear simple clothes at most times, although they may possess finer garments for special gatherings like season festivals, marriages or funerals. Jewels and other superior ornaments, if any are in the keeping of members of the society, are treasured as possessions belonging to the community, and are passed down through generations of appointed keepers.

Adventurers coming from a Frugal folk do not usually carry anything of unusual worth (unless as part of their war gear), with the possible exception of one or two pieces of expensive clothing or common jewellery, like a rich mantle or a golden necklace or bracelet; probably a token of their status among their peers. Consequently, Frugal adventurers can rarely afford to pay for anything, and prefer to find or make what they need instead.

Cultural Blessing: RedoubtableThe legendary stubborness of Dwarves lets them endure burdens that would break the back of the sturdiest of Men.

• Dwarf characters calculate their Fatigue threshold by adding up the Encumbrance ratings of all the items they are carrying, and then subtracting their favoured Heart score from the total.

Shadow Weakness: Wandering MadnessWandering without ever really settling down might be the destiny of most adventurers, but it carries the risk of never finding something to live for. The road goes ever on and on, it’s true, but whither then?

Specialties: MountaineerYou are familiar with the difficulties often encountered when crossing mountain passes, and with the ways of overcoming them.Stone-CraftCutting rock to build works of stone such as walls, halls and towers is a precious skill, revered among the highest forms of craftsmanship. You are able to discern the diverse qualities of the many building materials employed in Middle-earth, and to evaluate the use they are put to.Folk-LoreYou possess some knowledge of the many traditional customs, beliefs and stories of the various communities that compose the Free Peoples. Likely the result of your wanderings, this information may help you when dealing with strangers, letting you come up with some useful fact regarding their folk or a smattering of the appropriate language. Wanderers generally pick up this Trait during their time on the road.

They wear simple clothes at most times, although they may possess finer garments for special gatherings like season festivals, marriages or funerals. Jewels and other superior ornaments, if any are in the keeping of members of the society, are treasured as possessions belonging to the community, and are passed down through generations of appointed keepers.<br>
                            <br>
                            Adventurers coming from a Frugal folk do not usually carry anything of unusual worth (unless as part of their war gear), with the possible exception of one or two pieces of expensive clothing or common jewellery, like a rich mantle or a golden necklace or bracelet; probably a token of their status among their peers. Consequently, Frugal adventurers can rarely afford to pay for anything, and prefer to find or make what they need instead.</span></span></font></font>

                        Your folk were a wandering folk, travelling far and wide, seeking the realms of Men to offer their services, so that they could eke out a living as smiths, masons or traders. Now all of this is in the past, for Erebor has been restored, and there is a home for every dwarf, and gold and treasure to be had. You tried to follow your kin, and for a while you dwelt there, but quickly you discovered that you were restless : for you have grown to love the road, and the life of a wanderer, and at times prefer the company of Men to that of Durin&#39;s folk, though this you would not dare tell.

                        During the Spring of 2949, Barin accompanied his kinsman Bofri and his work crew, along with a fellowship of assorted adventurers from all the allied races on an expedition to the Southern end of the Long Marshes in order to locate the Eastfort - the reputed eastern terminus of the old Southern Trading Road that once ran across the Greenwood. Instead of finding the ruined Eastfort, the fellowship instead stumbled upon a set of ruins that appeared to be a town, or village constructed once by the ancient men of N&uacute;menor. However, whilst discovering a vast store of riches below the ruins, the fellowship also discovered that they were home to a corrupt civilisation of Marsh Dwellers - humanoid figures adapted to their environment, and fiercely territorial over their home and wealth. Barely escaping with their lives, the fellowship managed to return back to the safety of Lake-town and the Northern Kingdoms ready to relay their discoveries to their sponsors and try to gather up the interest to return. This time, with enough swords at their backs to ensure their success ...

                        During the Winter of 2950, Barin found himself on the Western side of Mirkwood. Tasked by King Dain to ascertain the depth to which the Northern Orcs had overrun the previous holdings of his kin. Accompanied by Celebros the Elf, he became embroiled in a diplomatic mission to the Northern holdings of Viglund, a human theign in the far north of Rhovanion. Things went sideways fairly quickly when it transpired that Viglund was both warlike and treacherous, and Barin and his companions found themselves compelled to travel Westwards across the wild lands of the hillman tribes and into the shadows of Mount Gundabad. Their journey was not without tragedy however, with the sad loss of the Elf Celebros on the way. Finding a lost tower, seemingly of Human, Elven and Dwarven construction, the fellowship found a way through the magical lock barring entry and wound up under siege from the tribes of Orcs, Goblins, Wargs and Hillmen in the region. They were able to hold long enough for aid to arrive from Viglund and his people, and Beorn. Once all had settled, Barin elected to remain at the tower through the winter, that when Beorn&#39;s people travelled South in the Spring, he could, with their aid, revisit the site where his fallen companion had been lain to rest and erect a fitting shrine.
