===Ten Questions=== '''1. Where are you from?''' Durak is from Karak Kadrin, the Slayer Keep, and he is very much colored by the attitudes and outlook of the Cult of the Slayers. Although his dress is sedate in comparison to the slayers, he wears his father's large gold earring and wields a short, grim axe forged by his mother, Kadlina. His shield bears the sigil of Grimnir the Fearless, the patron of the Slayers. '''2. What is your family like?''' Durak's mother is a reknowned smith and his father a famous slayer. As one of the Children of Doom, he is as close to a slayer as one can get, short of shaming himself and shaving his head. He is drawn towards trouble, seeking it out when others would turn the other way. '''3. What is your social class?''' Durak's social class is a difficult thing to measure. On one hand, he is a bastard without a true surname. On the other hand, he is a member of a class that is particularly honored amongst the dwarves of Karak Kadrin. Dwarves outside of Slayer Keep regard the Children of Doom as a necessary evil. While slayers are all but dead to dwarven society, they still breathe and occasionally procreate -- their children symbolize the honor of the oath they have taken and serve as a reminder that great deeds and a mighty death can absolve even the worst of sins. Children of Doom are often found in the company of slayers, whether related by blood or not. '''4. What did you do before you became an adventurer?''' Durak was a smith in the forges of Karak Kadrin as well as a caravan guard. He has also served as a soldier in Karak Kadrin's militia. Lately he has worked as a mercenary, although its rare that he sells his axe for gold -- rather he finds things that need killing in exchange for the hospitality of those he is protecting. Durok has become accustomed to trading his skills as a warrior to get what he needs to survive. '''5. Why did you become an adventurer?''' The call to great deeds is as much a part of Durak's blood as his short stature and long brown beard. The slayer blood that runs in his veins causes him to seek out situations that most would happily avoid. '''6. How religious are you?''' Durak is a follower of Grimnir the Fearless. He rarely performs open rites to the god, but he has been known to scream oaths to his deity in the heat of battle. As one of the Children of Doom, it is his responsibility to see that the deeds of slayers abroad are witnessed and whenever possible, their bodies consecrated in death to their god. '''7. Who are your best friends and worst enemies?''' Durak has no real friends outside of the Cult of the Slayers and the other Children of Doom. Most "civilized" dwarfs avoid him and his kin. He will drop anything (with the exception of violating a sworn oath) to come to the aid of a slayer seeking his doom. All Children of Doom are family to him....he can refuse them nothing. Durak has made many enemies over the years. All of them are dead. '''8. What are your prized possessions?''' Durak isn't too attached to material things, although his father's earring and his mother's axe have sentimental value to him. His father's axe, Grislev, has deep value to him and he will do anything in his power to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. '''9. Who are you loyal to?''' Durak is loyal to all dwarves, particular to Slayers and their kin. He has sworn an oath to protect Hanna Ice-Hound and will do so with his life. Of course, this is complicated by the fact that he has never met her.... '''10. Who do you love/hate?''' Durak loves his mother and will return to visit her in Karak Kadrin as often as possible. He hates all servants of Chaos and will stop at nothing to see them destroyed.
