Arry has just left Hobbiton.
So, I hope you find this Dwarf will be acceptable for the game. Looking forward to playing!

Arry’s character

NAME: Vitr Silverfist

AGE: 101

RACE: Dwarf – Longbeard House

GENDER: Male

WEAPONS: Mattock; for battles in larger, more open spaces, he bears an oak hafted pole axe with a razor sharp edged steel head. Iron helm embossed with runes; long chain mail; thick boiled leather vest; plated arm and leg guards

APPEARANCE: 4’ 6”; 155 lbs, thickset build. Weathered face; merry dark blue eyes with a great tangle of eyebrow above each; an easy smile. Brown hair worn in one long plait down his back and bound with a leather thong. Thick brown beard, worn in two braids on either side of his chin, when working, he tucks the ends under his belt. Dark brown breeches, tan tunic. Thick brown leather belt with loops hanging from it – he carries some of his hammers and other tools in it. Black leather knee high boots, well worn, thick soled. Granite grey, hooded cape.

PERSONALITY: Vitr’s family is at the center of his life, the most precious jewels in the setting of his sense of self. He cannot imagine a life without them.

He is for the most part a calm, thoughtful man – not one quick to anger, save where his family is threatened. And then he can become a fierce and savage foe of any who threaten harm to them.

Vitr is a patient craftsman in all his avenues of endeavor, from stone masonry to gemwork to the crafting of truesilver. The last is his most favorite sort of work, be it finely spun jewelry or the more substantial, protective pieces of mail.

He takes great pride in the fact that he is one of Durin’s Folk, a Longbeard. He has a great sense of responsibility with respect to his clan and feels a definite sense of duty toward his Lord, Balin.

HISTORY: Shortly after Erebor was reclaimed by Thorin II Oakenshield in III 2941, Vitr’s father moved his family from the Iron Hills to the Kingdom under the Mountain. Vitr was a young man of 48 years at that time. Under his father’s steady hand, he learned the skills that helped him to become the craftsman he is today. At the age of 84, he met and married Lys. And ten years later he became the father of twins – a boy, Tív and a girl, Tíva.

Vitr was glad to follow Balin southwards from Erebor to the old stronghold of the Longbeards, Khazad-dűm. He had felt then it would be a good place for him to establish his stature as craftsman and would be a fine, secure home for his family. And it has been, for the most part. But now he is not as sure about that security as reports of Orc intrusions into the area about the East-gate are increasing.
