Origin Story 3: Dwarf Warrior (Dwarf Noble)
Default Male Name: Duran
Default Female Name: Sereda
You are the second child of Lord Aeducan, the ruler of the Dwarven holds, and today is the day that your father will
present you to the Dwarven Nobility - call it your coming-out day.
In your chambers your friend and companion, Gorim, is helping you to get ready for your big day. He suggests that
as there is time, perhaps it would be an idea to visit the Provings - a tournament of combat held in your honor to put
on display the best of the best and warrior prowess. Gorim thinks that you should make an appearance there and, if
you like, fight as well. That sounds like an excellent idea!
Before we leave there are a few lootable items we should grab, and then hit the door to the hall, where we can find
another lootable item - a book that adds a Codex entry. Take a right turn and head along to the first door on the
right, where we startle a mistress exiting your brothers room!
Follow her in and loot the room, and then have a chat with her! As your brother's mistress she is clearly beneath
your station - and Gorim's tone illustrates that. In one of the containers was a Dwarven Merchant's belt that adds to
your money intake - go ahead and put that on now!
The Diamond Quarter
Once you have all there is to grab in your brother's room, head down the hall to the entrance to the Diamond
Quarters. What we will be doing here is a few minor quests and some schmoozing before we go to fight in the
Proving - and it begins as we enter the area and hear an argument nearby.
Scholar Gertek is being accosted by Bruntin Vollney, a noble with a grudge. Talk to the Scholar to find out what this
is about...
How you interact depends upon your nature and your character - I chose to support the Scholar and the truth, but of
course that did not make Bruntin my friend. Gorim suggests that you have the idiot killed, and the Scholar agrees
with that - and hey, when in Rome, right? You do what you like, but I decided that he needed killing :)
Move down the hall and do some shopping - stopping to talk to each of the merchants on the way. You can also sell
off the extra and unneeded items that you have already looted - may as well do that now.
As you move up the hall you will run into your brothers Trian and Bhelen. Trian is a jerk, and Bhelen is a suck-up -
what a family! I did not take well to Trian's nasty attitude so I dished it back with as little respect as I could manage,
and was happy to see them stalk off.
The Armor Merchant is next - and then ahead on the right are a pair of Noble-hunters - Dwarven woman whose only
interest is to carry the child of a high-born noble! Go ahead and chat them up why don't you? It will be a long day,
and the night is cold, why not have a warm bed - or a very warm bed if you can handle both? What can I say, I
guess my Prince is a horndog!
There are three barrels nearby that you can loot - do that - and then hit the Weapon Merchant's booth - he has a
proposition for you! He tells you about the dagger that he had made especially for your day, and how your brother
Trian rejected it - and him - and asks that you accept it. Doing so will surely anger your brother - but so what? It is
not like you are on good terms anyway, and I have a feeling that you are not going to remain brothers for long, so...
Next on the list is the Magic Merchant - but you will not be doing any trade with him because he fainted at the sight
of you! Just past this last merchant's booth is a guard who was dispatched to be your escort through the common
