As
a traveling cleric, Edberk was use to finding out that the narrow
view of the dwarf mind was lacking in many ways. In fact he was
so use to it, that if something did work the way the dwarves of
the mines and underdark said they did, he was surprised.
Edberk spent his life on the surface, learning the ways of
humans and dwarves and striving to bridge the gap between the
dwarves and everyone else. He was not alone in his travels,
for Tordek was always at his side,
the young orphan dwarf he took under his wing, and taught as
a younger brother.
Meeting Edrin Northstar
proved to be a good move, or at least Edberk believed it was,
now he feels the jury is still out on the matter. It is not
a question of respect or even trust, he would trust the elf
with his life, and the life of his clan without hesitation.
However, he does question whether continuing the close relationship
is in anyone's best interest.
Many things have changed for Edberk. He has come to a far away
land, by means he still wonders about. It is clear that a force
did provide the idea and the way. He now lives in a land which
barely knows about Mordain, where dwarves until only a few short
centuries ago roamed the land as gypsy traders. Where a pantheon
of gods rules the land and the gods parents, the titans, were
only thrown down 150 years ago.
Currently Edberk lives in Burok
Torn, the mountain city of the dwarves in the land of Scarn.
He has been given permission by King Thain to construct a temple
to Mordain and to provide the people of Burok
Torn with the teachings of the Creator God. Those who are
willing of course. This is good, but for the first time in Edberk's
life, another god also shares the minds and hearts of the dwarven
people, and this god not only exists, but frequently walks the
halls of Burok Torn and eats dinner with King Thain.
While it is true the Mordain has made himself known in Burok
Torn, the duplicity remains and will for the foreseeable
future.
