In the shadow of Mount Grimbald, Thornstone, a steadfast dwarf, faced an internal tempest. Haunted by the ghosts of fallen kin, whose loss gnawed at his heart, he forged onward. When a band of marauding goblins threatened his village, Thornstone’s loyalty clashed with his paralyzing grief. In the heat of battle, his memories surged, urging him to hide, yet he stood resolute. With a mighty swing of his Stone Shield, he rallied his kin, driving the goblins back. As dawn broke, Thornstone realized: loss would not define him. His motto became, "In the echoes of sorrow, I forge my strength."
