((Note: While I am not in the guild, and my username is that, a username and not my character name. My Character is Gronnin. And I am, interested in joining))
Tovistor Grutt was a rifleman, under the Brozebeards, and some considered him a hero. He himself could care less if he was a hero or not, Tovistor was just a drunken dwarf with bloodlust, like almost any other. So he could care less about the woman he met on his holiday leave, and spent the night with. He cared so little he told her nothing of his leave the next day, but she cared. Wether he loved her or not, Merium Solidstone loved Tovistor, and told her bastard son of his amazing father almost every day.
Gronnin was told of no bad from his father, and for the first ten years of his live Gronnin lived looking up to a man he only knew from stories his mother told. He wanted to be a rifleman, and as soon as Gronnin could hold a Rifle he practiced with one. When his mother trusted him to go out alone, Gronnin would go with his friends to hunt boars and rabbits, the things such as that. Much to Gronnin's suprise to come home finding a rifle he had not seen before leaning outside his homes doorway.
So Gronnin peered into his home, and a man, taller then him, tall for a dwarf, while short for a human, but tall for a dwarf stood talking to his mother. He had a long unkept beard that was the color of gunpowder, and a ragged ponytail sticking from the back of his rest bald head. Now know here Gronnin would not reconize this as Tovistor, for the way his mother described him ; Tall, with a large rifle, and glorious black beard and long flowing hair. So Gronnin stared at his one legged father talking to his mother, wondering who it was, when Tovistor turned.
"That im? damn kid ain't taller then meh rifle." Gronnin stared blankly at him still, his mother looked a bit distained. "Well boy, ye got somthi to say?" So Gronnin replied "Who're you?" And with this Tovistor grabbed the crutch from the side of the chair and stood with it's support "Tovistor Grutt. And I suppose your, my son." So with this an akward silence wich seemed a year ((Though only a moment)) Occured.
It ended with Tovistor heading into the one of two rooms the house had to offer. And Gronnin looked blankly at his mother who explained. Tovistor was his father, if less lovely then she described, knew not of Gronnin, and was sent home to his closest people, wich turned out to be Merium ; his leg was lost in a skirmish with the Dark Iron, and he would be living in Gronnin's room, Gronnin would be moving to Meriums room.
So over the next seasons Gronnin lost respect for this "amazing" man. He was almost always drunk, screaming, throwing, hitting. Over the next few years Gronnin began to hate the old miserable now man. You see Tovistor lived only to serve in the military, being drunk and violent his only talents. So Gronnin would spend less time at the house, and do anything to be unlike his father, to the point of swearing never to use a rifle, and many more oaths.
Why, with these years Gronnin swore to use his skills to heal more then harm. Never use a rifle as said before. Conceding true Loyalty from the Bronzebeards ((This was kept secret at first)). And many more good oaths he kept to himself for now. Infact none would know of them until he was stumbling through Ironforge and a lone human stood walking in a white robe through the commons. Gronnin was astounded, in the sixteen years of his life he has never seen a Human before, and it's no secret human women are.... more pleasant to look at then dwarven ones. So Gronnin stared at her until she walked up and asked him.
"Is somthing a matter?" And he replied stating no, that he just never seen a human and was wondering why she was here "I, am Anetta, a priestess trying to find people willing to accept the light." So Gronnin asked what the light was, and Anetta then explained the Lights role in life, and what it could do.
Why Gronnin was extremly exited, he asked her how he could become a priest. And she explained as they walked through the commons he could serve as a page and move to priest as time went on, and that he could leave with her the day after tommorow back to the capital city in Lordaeron to enroll in the church. Gronnin ran back home, to the hills on the outskirts of kharanos to grab his things and leave, and say goodbye to his mother.
He burst through the door and heard his mom wimpering, and his father huffing. Gronnin slowly turned to look in his mother/his room to see his fathe,r kicking his mother on the floor, he was stunned. So he did nothing as his father finisher her and turned to walk to the door as saw Gronnin. "Making it easy on me boy, with ye and her gone I can leave, un go back to the military, tell em I ave no family." Gronnin stated he was crazy and that the plan would never work, but Tovistor lunged to grab gronnin, and gronnin jumped back. Tovistor tried to raise himself, so gronnin took advantage of this and ran outside. Tovistor was infuriated and grabbed his rifle and wobbled to the dfoor and leveled , look for his son.
A large bang echoed, this bang being the decisive moment in two lives of two dwarves. One who wanted to join the clergy and leave his horrible father. One a dark miserable violent man who wanted to serve. So, his father jolted, and dropped his rifle. and look to his side in shock, the blood steadily flowing from the hole in his gut. And looked at Gronnin who rised from the snow with his old hunting rifle. Gronnin couldn't believe he shot somone, he had never thought of doing it until that day. That day, he buried his mother, and left his father in the doorway dead. And loo
He grabbed a sack and put his needed and treasured things inside, wich was a pillow and blanket, the clothes he wore, he wanted to do nothing anymore with this life. and spent the night walking to Ironforge. He met Anetta in the inn she had told him too, and was suprised to see a sight. There she was in the back, behind a tall man in a similar robe, a gnome with goggles in leather with black stains. And two footmen with an odd red funny looking L on there shields.
Anetta laughed at his suprise "You didn't think I came alone did you?" Gronnin held his grief inside and laughed soulessly. And at that moment she said somthing the gnome and he jumped from his seat and said "Right then, that's all of us! Lets go! The capital city is a long way off!" And in what should have been a month's journey got sidetracked more then Odysseus. on more things that can be listed here. And by the time the party arrived in the Capital city, Gronnin was nineteen, and ready to indulge in the clergy.
But the high priests looked at Gronnin, and over the next week convinced him of a different experimental role. The priests were gathering Priests and knights to practice a new role of a "Holy Knight" A Paladin. Gronnin was to his knowledge of the first Dwarven Paladins, and practiced the light to his best knowlege, and took great care in his work, learning to use shields and plate armor. Learning to heal and use to the light to harm if needed. He exeded in his things and forever dedicated his life to the light and his commander. Uther Lightbringer.
