Krors Ra Drugan and Zlo the Thief of the Silt

Krors Ra Drugan

Biographical Details

Clan: Mrenbar, on the Crimson Atoll

Uhrnomus: Nado, a powerful earth cleric and psychometabolist

Clan Focus: To accumulate enough wood, stone, and most importantly obsidian floater domes so as to construct their own, strictly dwarven atoll. Before the attack of Alteric, they nearly had enough material to do this.

Clan Religion: Earth. Hardland is corrupt and dangerous. The dwarves of Mrenbar Clan must build hardland anew amidst the Silt Sea, to ensure that it is good land, and not corrupt.

Clan Enemies: The Silt Sea. The Mrenbar dwarves hate the Silt, and oppose it religiously. Their rival dwarven clan aboard the Crimson Atoll, the Randor Dwarves, revere the Silt, and possess several silt clerics. Unlike the Mrenbar, they worship silt, and train their youths with a legendary being called the Old Man of the Sea, who is in fact a kreen of some sort.

Family Patriarch: Morz the Old, a powerful psychokineticist and Mrenbar Clan uhrnius or leader

Family Matriarch: Bezra, a clothesmaker out of creatures from the Silt Sea

Father: Drugan Ra Morz, a stonemason, sailor and silt horror fisherman

Mother: Yera, a silt farmer

Siblings: three living sisters, two living brothers (none of repute)

Maternal Cousin Ora: Ora was a dwarven thiefess, who managed to steel gold and steel from Zhor's treasury aboard the Atoll. Ora was caught and banished to the Silt Sea (executed). Ora is the one who taught Krors the basics of his thieving skills.

Zlo

Early Life

Zlo was to be a hunter by his extended family, but disappointed them when he fell under the charismatic spell of Olmot, a renegade halfling who lived by himself, but who had discovered dark magical things he had found in mysterious ancient caves beneath the earth. Intrigued, he accompanied Olmot on several adventures in the strange caves and ruins beneath the earth. He learned much from Olmot.

Harassed by his extended family for failing to become a hunter and not engage in the normal activities of a halfling youth, Zlo began to use the skills he learned from Olmot to trick and harass his family. He would steal their tools or weapons, and place them with the equipment of yet another family member, causing the two to squabble. He would weaken the bow strings of his stronger elder brothers, so that they would fail when an important hunt was taking place. He would even steal food from his father, and eat it himself, for his father was ever disapproving of him.

A popular cousin named Noncul had been particularly cruel to Zlo, and would boast of his strength before Zlo and mock the smaller halfling for his weakness. One time, Zlo fought back, but was defeated, but not before being slashed in the face by Noncul's obsidian blade. When they were more fully grown, Noncul departed on his coming of age quest, which was to prove his worthiness to the chief as a warrior for his tribe. Noncul eventually returned from his coming of age quest from the Ringing Mountains, and once again boasted, showing his clan the strange golden figure he had found in a cave atop one of the snowy mountains. Noncul said he would present it to the chief the next morning during his confirmation ceremony, and heartily expected to be mightily rewarded with the chief's magic. During the next morning, when Noncul climbed the chief's pyramid and was to present Urga-Zoltapl was the talisman as proof of his worthiness, he opened the cloth he had placed the figurine in only to discover it had been replaced with a golden painted rock. The Great Chief was angered, and sacrificed the cousin right then and there to the forest.
