Grimgrom - Dwarf Mercenary 

Historical Documentation

Mining is dangerous, dirty and draining work, it is also the traditional role of a dwarf. Grimgrom spent most of his life underground, never seeing the light of day, wondering when an igniting gas pocket would finally put him out of his misery. It didn’t happen; something far worse did. The mine his family had worked for generations was exhausted. Every worthwhile seam of ore had been extracted and they faced starvation. As the rest of his family moved to caverns new, in the hope of striking it lucky, Grimgrom took the opportunity to find a different, more appealing, line of work. His physical strength, experience in construction, practical knowledge of mining techniques and toughness soon saw him find a new life as an in-demand mercenary. He has served under many masters across the continent, even including a stretch of time in the direct employ of the Knights of Accord as a combat engineer improving the defenses of the front-line fort of Tinadren.
