📖 Description & Background

Thrain is a stout, broad-shouldered dwarf clad in heavy, rune-etched armor, his long braided beard flowing like the roots of the mountain. His expression is stern and weathered, and a battered cloak hangs from his shoulders, a testament to countless battles.

Born into the Stonebreaker clan, famed masons and defenders of Karak-Vorrin, Thrain inherited the sacred duty of protecting his people after his father fell defending their halls from an orc invasion. In grief and honor, he swore an oath to Moradin to bring dwarven strength beyond the mountains, standing as a shield for the weak and a hammer against corruption. His presence is as immovable as stone, his will forged harder than steel.
