Description
Your eyes come to rest upon a pale gray skinned figure of about three feet in
height.His tiny body is very thick for his height and his tiny arms and legs
are heavily muscled beneath his leathery skin. Not the most attractive of
creatures this deep gnome has a bald lumpy head and large black eyes above
which rest thick silvery eyebrows. His chin supports a small goatee of the
same odd silvery color as his eyebrows. His body is riddled with scars most
likely from a life of fighting.

sphere
Throt's sphere is dedication and it is the driving force behind his overall
personality. He is very dedicated to things he finds worthwhile, the big
ones being friendship, being a warrior (along with this comes adhering to the;role + tenents of aarn's religion), and seeing an end to mages. So basically this
is his sphere because he is very dedicated, stubborn, and single-minded. If
you were to ask him what sphere he was born under he would respond rage
because he see's that as being the key to elevating himself beyond a common
thug and realizing his true potential as per aarn's religion.
lastname and backstory
The use of thror's lastname is intentional. Part of Throt's backstory is
that he was not raised among his own kind but rather a clan of dwarves.This
was the hammersong clan, not direct descendants of the god but a clan that
was formed during his rule as the dwarven god. They took his name as their
own to honor his greatness, over time thror has died but the clan has lived
on and they now follow aarn and have become nomadic in the underdark. They
happened upon Throt as a baby hidden in a crevice at the scene of a massacre.
learned the basic tenants of his personality growing up with the
dwarves, his dedication to protect those he calls friends, his hatred of
magic, his religion, and his style of speech. He left the clan when he came
of age to see the wider world.
Burning Rage

So I feel after a life changing moment like this deserves a role entry.
First thing first the life changing event was being booted by kaisse from the
village. The circumstances of what happened are exactly this.
village attacks empire we kill off the defenders and go to work on the inner
guardians. after the first 2 fall haagaran comes in and starts beating the
inners too. I warn him 2 times to leave he continues to stay. at this point
i am deafened so i can't hear any responses they may have had but they don't
leave. it comes down to just the prelate and brokk also shows up and i issue
one last warning that if they don't stop interfering with the fight the next
time I tell them it will be with my axes. They don't leave and brokk lands
the last hit and gets the codex. I murder him,mind you I did not pincer or
anything and I had no intentions of chasing him if he decided to run away. a
round later kaisse uninducts me and haageran starts ganking me then kaisse
simply walks away.
now how does this make throt feel. angry, very angry, rageful, brimming with
think of blood thirst with just barely enough retraint to not attack
eveything in sight and thats how mad throt was.Despite that level of rage
he managed to stay (relatively) cool about the situation. He does not think
he did anything wrong. As far as he is concerned the marans interfering with
a raid is the same as if they interfered with a fight on eastern road, if you
besmirch my honor your gonna get slaped upside the back of the head for doing
it. As a result throt feels deeply betrayed by Kaisse.He now understand
how the founders of the village must have felt when the order mages betrayed
them.
The next question of course is what will throt do next.To be honest he
holds more rage for kaisse then he does for every single mage in thera
combined. Instead of taking out his rage against the commander though he is
using it against the mages as he was taught to as a berserker of lord Aarn.
His dedication to the village and its battle will not waver and he still
seeks his hut rebuilt, this time though as a berserker.If he does get his
hut rebuilt though due to his immense hatred of kaisse he will ask for rites
to be held for a new commander.Regardless of wether that comes to fruition
he will never ever again aid kaisse unless he recieves an apology or is order
by a warlord. By never I mean never raids included, if kaisse decides to
start giving orders throt will simply pay lip service until he can get to a
place that kaisse cannot give him orders and wait for the commander to go
away before returning.
shame

Throt has come to a crossroads.After over a century of seeking the warlords
of the village he has come to the realization that he has been abandoned by
his former kin and there will be no going back.Rage and frustration
overwhelm him and he is faced with a decision.
Continue to fight the fight as he has and hope that perhaps in his final
moments before his body collapses to seek redemption or continue to take the
fight to the mage dogs.
He decided with great difficulty that the only way for him to combat these
hellish foes is to become like them and with great shame he begins to use
magic to fight magic.
The result of this is obviously he will never rejoin the village and he is
burdened by a great deal of shame. He will do his best to avoid contact with
villagers but will help them out whenever he can.
