Appearance/Personality:

A young adult (early 50s), Korric wears his brown beard short. He's surprisingly friendly and welcoming for a dwarf, and greets everyone he meets with a smile and a hearty handshake. He has jade green eyes and is short even by dwarf standards.

His greatest fear is to be found unworthy in Torag's eyes; as such, he works tirelessly in the god's name, healing those in need, and offering help and advice. Although he likes a pint as much as the next dwarf, he has no patience for drunkenness, excess, and public irresponsibility; celebration is all well and good, but there's no need to make a fool of oneself. He has a deep and abiding love for earth in all its forms, from iron to granite, from well-tilled loam to the hardest diamond; he's one of those rare dwarves who would be as happy on a farm as in a mine. Although friendly and jovial, when threatened or frightened he instinctively hunkers down, sets his back to the nearest boulder, and dares the danger to come at him.

His secret - something he considers quite shameful - is that he left his family on bad terms, a great dishonor for a dwarf. He does not relish seeing them again, and yet he hopes to someday return home. This conflict is the cause of much inner turmoil.

Background:

Korric is the son of a merchant, Kovald Brighthammer, and grew up riding along on his father's wagon selling pig iron, coal, and semiprecious stones to the surface-dwellers, then returning below ground with grain, cheese, and lumber. Instead of teaching him the finer points of finances, this instilled in him a love of travel, of meeting new folks and seeing new sights. He was a bit of a black sheep until he was called to be a priest; this honor, it was felt, balanced out his undwarfish curiosity and wanderlust.

Recently, after a spat with his family about which he doesn't like to speak, Korric came to the conclusion that Torag expected more of him than a life of trade and the healing of occasional minor injuries. Packing his few belongings, he set off to see the world and find his place in it, leaving his family a short letter of farewell. He wandered aimlessly, trading his healing powers for food and a place to sleep, chopping firewood or sweeping stables for his dinner when necessary. Eventually, Fate brought him to Sandpoint, a town he had visited twice before as a child, and one of which he had fond memories.
