Raised By Dwarfs

You were raised by dwarf parents, in the stone halls of Ironhearth, a subterranean dwarven stronghold famous for its legendary blacksmiths. Your adoptive parents, Bromli Ironhearth and Dagna Stonebraid, found you as a baby near a collapsed mining tunnel. Rather than leave you to fate, they carried you home and raised you as their own — a human child in a dwarven clan. You grew up among anvils, molten metal, roaring furnaces, and the rhythmic music of hammer on steel. Bromli taught you the craft with stern patience; Dagna taught you clan honor, tradition, and the art of forging not just weapons, but legacy. Now, on the eve of your adulthood, the clan prepares for the Trial of the Forge, a rite every dwarf must pass to earn their place. But you are human — and the elders whisper that your destiny may lie beyond the forge, tied to an ancient rune Bromli found the day he discovered you.
