Waking up cold and wet, Hardestat’s eyes opened. He found himself alone…in the cold snow, not knowing where he was. For some reason he had no memories of his passed. “Where am I?” He said to himself as he looked around. Sitting, still clearing his eyes, blinded briefly by the snow, he saw a dwarf standing there. “Excuse me sir, can you help me?” The dwarf helped Hardestat to his feet and led him inside. Cold and wet, he wrapped up in a blanket next to the fire. Once Hardestat had regained his strength, he ventured forth into Coldridge Valley to see exactly where he was. He wandered to the south and came upon a damp and dark cave surrounded by troggs. Suddenly he was surrounded, not knowing what to do his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness briefly as power surged through him. Suddenly, there was this little fellow standing next to him named Chopnip that he could barely understand, but was throwing fireballs at the troggs. He joined in, for some reason that he couldn’t figure out yet, firing shadow bolts from his fingers decimating them. Very confused, he cleared his way back to the small village that he now called home, he found another gnome by the name of Allamar Grimm. He also had one of these small creatures that he found were called Imps. After having a long conversation with Allamar he began training for what he was intended to be…..a warlock. For a brief moment he wondered why in the world he would be able to control demons! He sat and pondered to himself…. “Am I evil? Will anyone ever trust me knowing that I can call demons to my side?”
After many days of traveling, learning more and more about his new found art, he came to the grand city of Iron Forge. “This is where I will call home I guess” He said to himself. Walking about the great city, seeing more then his mind could handle, he came upon the forlorn caverns. This is where he would reside until he got a grasp on the wonderful things this city could do for him. It was dark and quiet, just what he needed to contemplate his life.
Sitting on the front step of the building, where he found someone that could actually train chopnip, a dwarf strolled by. “You looked lost my small friend” said the dwarf. “My name is Arlon, may I be of assistance?” Excited that this kind dwarf was not afraid of him as others have been in his past he replied “Yes Yes!” Jumping up and down. “I am new to this city need a bit of guidance. I have heard many wonderful stories in my short time being in the city and most of them are very confusing.” Arlon chucked, “I do no know much about the ways of magic, but my friend Lady Merlinne would be a good person for you to talk to. I will try to arrange an invitation so that you may speak with her at once.” Hardestat, still stammering with excitement “Th-Th-thanks!”
