Description
Before you is a wirey little creature standing at about 3 and a half feet
of height. His skin could still be described as alabaster white, though
it has darkened slightly with age and is now nearly the exact same color
as his hair, which remains distraughtfully unkempt. His large blue eyes
almost shine like sapphires and have a mischievous glint that you might
might expect to see in someone half his age. Having grown into his nose
it no longer appears so extreme, and seems perfectly in place with the
rest of this svirfneblin's face. His mouth and ears are both small and
shapely, the ears retaining thier slight point. Age has yet to affect
his body as its as spry as ever, a bounce is still evident in his step
and his arms still remain strong. Around his waist is his gemmed
keepsake of a belt - though the swords have changed, and will again, the
sheaths have always been the same. Proudly displayed on the lower part of
his right arm is a shimmering mark, the symbol of his Lord.
Role
Simple Origins
Added Tue Apr 27 20:10:03 2004 at level 33:
Esfergref grew up in blingdenstone, the son of a miner.His childhood was
fairly normal, as were his parents. Now if you know Esfergref you know he has
an (at times) unhealthy obsession for drinks of spirituous nature. You might
wonder how a happy childhood could spawn a heavier drinker, but you must
realize Esfergref does not drink to forget, or to leave life behind - he
drinks to experience life. To him the world just seems much brighter with a
touch of alcohol in his system, and he has yet to taste a spirit that he
hasnt liked. He strives to find new tastes and new experiences in his
tankard, and also to offer others ales and beers... perhaps as a bartender. He
never drinks so much that his perception is altered, (though the same amount
for anyone else might have such affects) or alter his interaction with
others.
Quirks

Growing up in the blingdenstone the dark-elf city was always on the mind of
the denizens of Esfergrefs home. He was always told to avoid dark-elves and
should he meet one he was to run as fast as he could. This confused
Esfergref, why were the dark-elves so feared? Why was he not allowed to go
close to their city while out in the underdark? This grew into another
obsession, and when Esfergref left blindenstone he choose to make his home in
Udgaard where there resided many dark-elves. He is very interested in
dark-elves, particularly those of the fairer sex, whom he finds startlingly
attractive. This does not include those of impure drow blood, (even if they
have little human features) for some reason they do no catch his fancy in the
same way.
Esfergrefs father always wanted his son to follow in his footsteps as a
miner, Esfergref rejected this path and became an adventurer - much to his
fathers dismay. To this day in silent protest Esfergref will not touch an
axe or pick, (or pickaxe) the tools of his fathers trade.
Realizations and Contentment
Added Fri Jul 16 15:38:22 2004 at level 51:
Esfergref has come a long way since he left the underdark, in the Inn he has
found a home, and in the heralds a family, which he cares for far more than
he ever did the family he left behind in Blingdenstone. Hes also found an
unmatched alcohol tolerance - three hundred years of drinking will do that
you know. Esfergref is wiser for his experiences (though hed never admit it)
and has begun to come to terms with the passing of his friends, though he
still doesnt take it well. His love for alcohol hasnt been touched by the
years, and he still strives to find and create new drinks with the same fever
as always. Some things havent changed, but some things have, Esfergref has
realized his fixation on dark-elves was nothing more than a childhood fancy.
This realization came through perception of the beauty of all of the surface
races (except for the noteable exceptions of the giant races, gnomes,
duergars and dwarves) ..And from the guiding
hand of a certain half-elf.
