Editing Meamnar:Obryn Stoneshoulder (section)

==Lineage==

Erden the Grim, great-great-great-grandfather of Obryn, was a miner of the Spine in the early ninth century of Northern Reckoning.  In 715 NR, Spine miners broke through into the Underdark.  In the ensuing battle, Erden single-handedly held his ground against a swarm of drow while his fellow dwarves worked to seal the passage behind him.  In 952 NR, when the shaft was reopened, over one hundred and fifty drow skeletons were found along with Erden’s.  The drow, unable to defeat just one dwarf, had apparently sealed their end of the passage as well.

Valdyr, grandfather of Obryn, was a famous mountaineer in the tenth century of Northern Reckoning.  He was the first dwarf to scale Red Wyrm’s Peak, the tallest mountain in the Spine, about twenty-five miles southwest of the Halls.

Baern Giantsbane, father of Obryn, was a member of the Silveraxe Mercenary Company.  The Silveraxes were famous for defeating several frost giants north of Manetheren, as well as the pursuit and slaughter of a group of hill giants near Crescent.
