Katric Eurstwell

Backstory
For many months he traveled from town to town learning all he could from which oils or waters to temper the metal in, to the different types of steel and how they were made. One day he found Dwarven family Warsmith, in the country of Blackstone. He began to train with a smith of the clan, he was called Muirnur Warsmith. Katric found their rituals strange and point less confusing to him, but his desire for their knowledge and wisdom in the art of steel was strong. He came to find it was more a religion then pure crafting, a thanks to the gods for gifts and skills they had granted. What had been pointless now had meaning as part of the worship of the craft, of the metal, of the gods. It was at this point he redoubled his efforts and began to learn of the ways of Gruundir. Katric learned many things and gained a greater reverence for metal and it’s many forms.

Five years after he left his home, his master told him that to improve further he must develop his skills personally. Making an oath to return when he was the worthy to be called a master smith in their eyes. He journeyed to the capital of Miragon, Horavei, to find what opportunities awaited him.

Appearance
His lifetime as a blacksmith has given him a strong body but it is also clearly limber, Katric normally wears armour and if often uncomfortable outside of it. his hair is brown and left to grow but no more than to impede his sight. he regularly shaves to avoid growing a beard Katric stands at 5'9" and his skin has been tanned by his time at the forge

Personality
To say Katric is brash is to say that water is wet and that grass is green, Katric will often be blunt and not lie, this being said he respects skill and honour, however if his skill is insulted or his Gods scorned he will grow unreasonable. underneath all of this Katric strives to improve he goes to extreme lengths to correct even slight issues in his work and if ever proven the lesser in smithing he'll seek to learn all he can from them, one such example was when Katric first arrived at the Hold of Clan Warsmith where he saw is skill was trifling in comparison to the works of dwarven master smiths, instead of feeling crushed he felt determined to supass his master Muirnur Warsmith. Katric Holds dwarfs in high regard as he trained under a dwarven master, to this end he started worshipping the dwarf panithon and became a priest of Gruundir. because of his life he hold no special disdain for other races apart from orcs and the other enemies of dwavenkind.
