Biography

Uraquahrt 'the Unyielding' Thraim lived most of his life as a member of a small clan living in the icy wastes of Frostfell. His small clan represented some of those who remained behind when the vast majority of Dwarves migrated from Frostfell to Mror. As his father before him, Uraquahrt became of follower of the Dwarven Pantheon, specifically entering the Priesthood of Clanggedin, the Rock of Battle. As is normal after being accepted into Clanggedin's service, Uraquahrt's jet black hair and beard naturally turned Silver. Duties as a priest included frequently leading a squad of Silver Axes against the constant scourge of Undead to prevent them from encroaching on Dwarven Ice.

Although the Last War passed his clan by completely, the end of the Last War coincided with the end of his clan. As the Last War wound down to its conclusion, Uraquahrt was again on patrol with a squad, cleaving the Undead from their existance. Two days before their patrol was to return to the ice valley of their home, violent tremors shook and split the icy ground. Uraquahrt's entire squad was suddenly knocked to the ground and a few were mortally pierced by flying shards of ice. In the stillness of the aftershocks, undead began to boil from the ground, surrounding and tearing into the party. The Silver Axes formed around their wounded and fought their way clear to the icy valley of their home. When they arrived, they cast their hoods for the entire valley had been swallowed below the ice.

For six months, the squad protected their own and fought through hordes of undead to find sanctuary. In the end, a night attack by demons and undead shattered the unity of the squad, casting the survivors singly out into the vast wastes. Alone when the sun finally arose, Uraquahrt searched for others to no avail. The constant hounding of the undead drove him further away from the scene of the Battle.

Luck eventually returned in the form of the coast of Frostfell. Alighting upon it one afternoon, Uraquahrt also discovered a badly damaged "trading" ship, the Adventure. The ship had been badly damaged in a winter storm and had put ashore for repairs. The crew had been unprepared for the cold and the undead and had many casualties. Uraquahrt traded his skills with the axe and his healing abilities for passage to the ship's next port, Stormreach.
