Nivlem

Background
While on the road towards the village of Tuskr, a dwarven trade caravan was attacked by bandits and the owners brutally slain, save a young dwarf child. During the battle, the caravan was overturned, knocking the child unconscious. He was only rescued when two human farmers - Aaron and Mohanna Arthas - came across the wreckage of the caravan. A barren couple, they decided to adopt this orphaned dwarf child, naming him Nivlem.

Nivlem Arthas of Tuskr is around 5 feet tall, which is unsually tall for a dwarf. This may be attributed to the lack of alcohol in his diet, which is a staple for dwarves. He disliked alcohol, is extremely strong and sturdy, and is a creature of industry.

After displaying wisdom far surpassing his peers, Nivlem was selected to be apprenticed to the aging village priest Frist Finerion. Under Priest Finerion, Nivlem learnt the rites and rituals of the deity Iomedae. Although he served and learnt the ways of the cleric for a total of 10 years, Nivlem was never fully comfortable with serving Iomedae of the Longsword, instead preferring to pay respects to Gorum of the Greatsword.

One day in summer, Nivlem had a vivid dream, in which he saw an tall iron-clad figure wielding a greatsword, red burning coals as eyes. Waking up with a start, he immediately recognised that the champion of the Lord of Iron had been revealed to him. On that very same day a human warrior, clad in iron plate and wielding a greatsword passed through the village. Nivlem immediately took it as a favourable sign, and dropped everything to follow this warrior, pausing only to briefly explain matters to his human parents.

That warrior is known as Solarith.
