Background

Grrom was raised in a...well...small town south of Westshore in M'Chek. Now by all means this was a typical small town, except for a few things: The town was located almost entirely underground, they had made illegal the crafting or possesion of weapons, and to worship Gorethar held a strict punishment. Now of course one would figure these to be odd traits of any town, especially a human one.

It all started back at the beginning of the M'Chek-T'Nanshi war. After much fighting and many deaths, the elders of this town decided they would turn their back on M'Chek and the war. They felt far removed from the circumstances of it, but were tired of its sting.

So they decided to move the entire town, which even though it was small was no small feat, into some nearby caverns. And so this town slowly, over the course of many months, built new houses and shops inside these caverns and slowly its people migrated there as well. The only thing left above ground were the crops, which oddly enough were already almost centered around the caverns, as it were.

Along with this move came a few other changes, mainly concerning weapons. At the time the move was decided upon, all men were to turn in all of their weapons, which were to be smelted down to help build the town's new buildings, along with whatever else could be made from them. The wooden weapons were used to fuel the forges which were melting down the swords, shields, and armor. Possession of any weapon was considered against the law, and any man or woman caught with one was to be jailed immediately without trial.

In turn, this first law also came with a second law not far behind it. It was now also illegal to make any new weapons. So all blacksmiths were told they would not honor any requests for weapon crafting. All of their skills would be put to making horse shoes, spades, and other metal tools.

Now this in and of itself, while being very extreme, was still not enough for the town elders. Eventually a few months after these new laws were formed, some opposition arose against the new laws. Those who worshipped Gorethar held these new laws to be tyrannical and blasphemous, sighting a man's ability to defend what he believes in as not only a right but something Gorethar demanded of his servants. The elders were adamant about their new way of life, and so also made illegal the worship of Gorethar. Many men and women were jailed in the coming weeks, and others moved out of the town.

But there was one worshipper of Gorethar who still worshipped and who still held his family's sword, passed down through the generations: Karek Blackmane. Karek was a might to behold in battle. A former sergant in the M'Chek army, Karek had a prowess in battle unmatched by most in his battalion. Karek was also a fierce leader, and could command the troops with an iron fist but still have the compassion required to lead men even into certain death.

Still, Karek and his wife were also a part of this small town, and actually the name Blackmane held some clout around town. Karek was very gregarious and wise, so his council was very often sought in political and spiritual matters. Even though he was charismatic and wise, Karek
