Hailing from Baouldryk, a small town in the hills of the Province of Atria, Kathoran Lightningforge was raised by his father Jarrak Lightningforge. Jarrak was an adventurer turned weapon smith. Jarrak was also a sergeant in the town guard. Kathoran was being trained to fight by his father. Before Kathoran’s training was finished the town was attacked by a tribe of orcs. Jarrak was slain in the battle, collapsing a section of the town’s wall and sacrificing himself to take out half of the orc raiders. Kathoran himself, joined the fray but had no experience in battle and was taken down but left alive. The battle is where he received the scar on his chin. The rest of the orcs fled into the mountains.
Kathoran was taken in by the local guard where he finished his training. He became a master of the battle axe and made quite a name for himself among the guard, mainly for his tendency to sing during combat. Driven by revenge Kathoran took a band of volunteers from the guard and tracked the elusive orcs that remained from the raid on his town. They killed every one without losing a man and returned victorious. Kathoran felt something was amiss however and soon found that the orcs’ leader had escaped before his party had arrived. Kathoron gathered his weapons and set out on a quest to avenge his father.
As a member of the Thraknul Clan, Kathoran was taught the trade of weaponsmithing by his father. His family and clan have been weaponsmiths in Baouldryk and other towns for generations and a Lightningforge weapon is highly prized and sought after. Kathoran took over the family forge and had begun making a name for himself among the weaponsmiths of Baouldryk. An accomplished brewer as well, Kathoran was known for having a barrel of ale in his shop for customers waiting on their orders. He provided a large table for those waiting and the forge was often as loud as the town tavern by the end of the day.
Kathoran’s has a good relationship with mountain dwarves near his home. As a weaponsmith, he does a lot of business with them, even, as a brewer, trading ale and mead for materials. Kathoran has visited some of the mountain dwarf towns with his father and after when searching for the orc commander. He knows the other weaponsmiths of those towns well.
Currently Kathoran’s cousin, Tauk Lightningforge minds his forge while he is away.
Disposition: Viewed as emotional and outgoing by his fellow dwarves, Kathoran is crass and always ready to tell you what he thinks. Lacking subtlety, Kathoran is blunt to his approach to most things, not usually considering the feelings of others. He is good natured all the same and values skill among his compatriots and will give praise where praise is due. When it comes to a fight Kathoran is ready and eager, not to mention capable. Kathoran takes very good care of his weapons, checking, cleaning and sharpening them each night. If he notices one of his party members weapons are in disuse he berates them for it and then takes and repairs the weapon, handing it back with instructions on care.
