Stormhammer

A century ago, the dwarf now known as Ordin had been a respected officer in The Goldthorn Guard. Then he was known by his comrades only as The Stormhammer because because of the fury with which he wielded his dual hammers in battle. But his whole life shattered when bloodrage entirely consumed him and he stopped caring about sides. When his trance ended, he found enemies and kin alike had fallen to his hammer. Overcome with unimaginable grief he had only two thoughts. Nobody could ever find out what he did. And more importantly, he must never lose control again.

Ordin wandered the Western Heartlands for four years forging a new identity and trying to forget his massacre. In a final desperate act he paid a wizard named Paradox to modify his memory. But the spell was interrupted by the local authorities who had been hunting the wizard. Instead of erasing his mistake, the spell had instead left a network of chasms streaking through his other memories.

His spirit, and now his mind, broken, he found his way to the Temple of the First Wall. The First Wall was dedicated to the ideal of perfecting the self through rigorous self-discipline. Now after decades of training, his mental scars persist and the masters have encouraged Ordin to seek peace with his past elsewhere.
