Balreg is a fairly plain looking blue eyed, fire red-head shield-dwarf, who walks with a slight limp. He is self concious of this and will quickly ire if it is pointed out by strangers.He received a terrible fall during a mountain hike with his kinsman when he was just 20 winters old. Being known for his amazing agileness during his chlidhood, his limp became a horrible self-concious impediment. However, even though Balreg limps slightly, he is quite dextrous and in battle, one would not fathom that he was handicapped in any way. |
Balreg was born and reared in the Savage Frontier, near Mirabar and Silverymoon in the North. Somewhat gruff, but happy-go-lucky for a dwarf, he gets along well with humans, elves and the other goodly non-dwarven races he encounters. He tries to be non-judgmental when it comes to other creatures, unlike the rest of his race. He has cultivated this philosophy by associating with non-dwarven creatures for such a long time. He however, has a strong hatred against hill giants and will attack them on sight. Others have questioned him on this "un-Balreg like" behaviour, but he will firmly refuse to speak about it.
Balreg downplays his priestly abilites around newly met non-dwarven beings. He is staunch defender of his religion, but prefers to not let it be known that he is a priest. He prefers the title "Warrior Blessed of Clanggedin" when nosy beings inquire of his profession.
When Balreg discovered his calling from Clanggedin, he discovered that he was chosen, by Clanggedin, to be his clan's "Darkenbane". Darkenbanes are the special warrior/priests of Clanggedin's clergy that are blessed with the enimity with evil. They are champions of Clanggedin to defend their clan (and all dwarves) against all evil scourges, particularly vampries. Only one appears in any given clan and only then about every other generation.
Balreg loves games of chance especially skullbones and knows many dice games. He likes card playing but is not very adept at it. |
