Thorin Dwarven Ranger

I was born in 1620 T.A. in Khazadum. My family have been miners for 15 generations and so when I was twenty five our family was part of an expediton to find new ore deposits.

After about 2 years of wandering about the Misty Mountains we found a vain of gold worthy of the effort of extracting. So over a period of 6 months a fortified settlement and digging the mine.
I then spent the next several years learning about mining and associated works from the more senior dwarfs and also skills that are usefull in the wilderness.

Orcs have been a constant threat as long as I can remember and we were always vigilant against raiding parties. At least once a month we would be attacked by Orcs.
Then in the depths of winter during the first few days of 1650 T.A. a large Orc force layed siege to our settlement. We held them off for 4 weeks before they fled, many hundreds of Orcs were slain but our losses were not light, fully 30 members of the 200 inhabitants were killed and many more were injured.
Among those killed we several members of my family. To this day my hatred for the Orcs runs unchecked and I will go to any lengths to slay one of their kind.

Soon after this I returned to Khazadum and did some work in some of newer shafts, using my new skills to develop marginal tunnels. However I soon became restless and felt a longing for the out doors and the sense of adventure. So in 1656 T.A. I left Khazadum and traveled south to visit some of my Breathen in the White Mountains.
After that I traveled West and North and in time reach the Dwarfen halls in the Blue Mountains. I spent several years here teaching some of the mining skills I had learnt in the past.

But eventually I left there and am now on my way East and home to reach the Grey Mountains and in time the Iron hills. I will then able able to return to Khazadum having seen and learnt many things and possible having aquired some treasure.
I have spent the last week staying at the Prancing Pony Inn in the village of Bree which lies at the junction of the Southern road and the Great East/West Road which leads to the high passes. But I know travel onwards with a man called Dar who hails from the lands near the Blue Mountains and another Dwarf called Dwalin. Both of whom I meet in Bree and are travelling East and in these parts being alone in the hills isn't a wise choice.

I'm 4' 11" tall and 163lbs, quite large for a Dwarf. I have lond red hair and a respectably long beard sonsidering my youth. I normally wear a dark green hooded cloak. I also wear chain mail which was forged in the depths of Khazadum by my great Grandfather Thoran the Silver, the methods he used have been lost to us but the mail is both strong and durable being resistant tothe effects of rust and acids. It has saved many times to date and will save me many more to come.

Thorin is the only original character in the game and also the only one to reach level 2 so far.
