Personal history
Havi has been trained from a young age by his father to best serve the goal of raising the Stormhammers to their former glory. Privately tutored in history, dwarven nobility, and in the runic magic style of their family. Maradun may be the better smith, and Barthor the better fighter, but Havi swings a hammer on the battlefield as easily as he does in the forge. He has even spent time training outside of the Mithril Halls; spending two years studying the arcane at the University of Altaer Valley. All three brothers were put on three distinct paths by their father Thorval. Maradun, the eldest, has earned much respect as one of the most promising smith of magical arms and armor in the last century. Barthor, while having a reputation for brash and abrasive, is considered a terror upon the battlefield when he allows his rage to unleash on his opponents. Havi, the youngest, is known for quiet and calm. None have recollection of him ever raising his voice or losing his temper. Always willing to extend an offer of trust, he only truly becomes angry when he or his family's honor is questioned. The Stormhammers are infamous for the response to enemies, suffering no mercy to those who strike first against them. There are rumors that the young scion of Clan Stormhammer is meant to one day recover their clan's legendary artifact that was lost nearly 700 years ago. During the last great war with the betrayer's children and the Shadow Elves, the Stormhammer's forces over extended into enemy territory. Normally, they may still have attained victory thanks to the legendary Storm Hammer. On the even of the assault against them, however, they were betrayed by a member of one of their cadet houses. The long trusted friend murdered the Stormhammer champion, and escaped into the horde of enemies. Few of the Clan's soldiers survived and the Stormhammers have struggled since then to reclaim their former glory.
