Biography

Childhood

Garrond grew up playing in the streets of Kal'Azgoth with his Frostbeard brothers and sisters, and occasionally with the studious Irongut whom he protected from the rowdy Grandaxe and Ireheart beardlings. He often accompanied his father on his many ambassadorial jobs, and learned how to mediate and make deals from a very early age. After his father left on a long journey, Garrond stayed with the Dwarves until their conquest of Oren when he too left to go on a journey to learn how to live on his own in the harsh wild.

Athera

After journeying for nearly 30 years, Garrond returned to find the Dwarves in a terrible state, and so he left to find work elsewhere. His path led him to the human Kingdom of Aesterwald where he portrayed himself as Garrond Copperbeard, dying his beard and hair brown therefore concealing his Frostbeard identity. He was quickly hired by the Marshal of Aesterwald, Raomir Armon and made a miner. Garrond spent much time in the mines beneath Vanderfell, and his contributions helped arm the Order of the Black Eagle, Aesterwald's official army.

During the Schism War, Garrond fought on the front with the rest of the Vanders. During this time, he was promoted to Corporal by the Marshal and led a small detachment of Eagles, usually patrolling the Aesterwald border to prevent Raevir sneak attacks. As the Schism War came to an end, and it became apparant that Aesterwald would soon be no more, Garrond was granted a sum of iron and gold for his service and was sent on his way. He continued to travel around, before once again leaving to explore, this time the land of Athera.

Axios

Garrond returned to the Frostbeard Clan in Axios when he heard word that his father Gorum Frostbeard was back. Upon his arrival, Gorum could not believe it was his son Garrond, and challenged him to defeat an orc on a thin bridge outside of Kal'Nikaer, which hung over a river of molten lava. After an hour of strenuous battle, Garrond overcame the Orc and cast him down into the chasm beneath. Gorum, and then Clan Lord Kerwyr Frostbeard were overjoyed at Garrond's return and he was quickly reintegrated into the clan. Alongside his close childhood friend Grungot Frostbeard, Garrond joined the Legion and fought in the Coalition War which saw the fall of Oren and the rise of Courland. He continued to be an active member of the Legion all the way until the Frostbeards left Kal'Omith for their mountain home of Jornheim.
