Golandar

=Golandar, Champion of Clan Kolkarun=

Golandar is the young son of a proud family of Dwarf warriors in the Mror Holds. While in the outside world he chooses to be known by his Clan name, Kolkarun. When he was growing up he apparently had no contact with a young Half-Elf who would later be known as Faye Dwarfhammer.

Because he is of noble blood, Golandar was reluctantly pushed into a diplomatic role at the dawn of 998 YK; an appointment to the Consular Guards protecting the Mrorian Embassy in the world's largest city, Sharn.

But, once away from the strictures of life in the Holds, Golandar has completely forgotten all of this, and has thrown his lot in with a ragtag band of adventurers. One day he's fighting off terrorists trying to seize and/or destroy the mighty airship Golden Dragon; another he's in Wroat brawling with gargoyle thugs from the Daask criminal organization; and soon after that he's in Sterngate, fighting Jhorash'tar Orcs and negotiating with Bugbears from the mutinous Marguul Clans.

Yet for all that, he has made the acquaintance of the Mrorian ambassador (Brunhild Mroranon), an account executive with the NZZN firm, Norrin Tordannon (deceased), and another Dwarf champion, Rock Silverbreath of Clan Droranath. He has earned the Amicus Ursinus ("friend of the Bear") award twice, and was awarded a small emblem of the //Rhukaan Taash// (birthclan of Lhesh Haruuc of Darguun) by Matron Soorghaas.

When fighting the Jhorash'tar mercenaries near Sterngate, Golandar claimed a mighty Dwarven Greataxe, the Droranath Legacy weapon known as //Beardcutter// meant to be wielded by their Champion. With the assistance of Rock Silverbreath, Ambassador Mroranon and mediators with House Kundarak, a trade was negotiated: The Droranath Greataxe for the //Khazad-Spike//, Clan Kolkarun's Legacy weapon that had languished in a Droranath vault as a battle trophy for two centuries. The //Khazad-Spike// is an Urgrosh, a Dwarven double weapon with a silvered axehead, a cold iron spearhead shaped like a spike, suffused with strong magic. Once informed of the deal, the elders of Clan Kolkarun endorsed Golandar's continued possession of the weapon, with the understanding that it's not his to sell.


 * Update, Therendor 998 YK**: This one time, in the village of Crossroads, after a night of heavy drinking, Golandar woke up next to a naked, dead Half-Orc prostitute. He was also naked, covered in her blood, had no memory of the night before, and the apparent cause of her death was a puncture wound to the heart (as if a spike had been driven into her heart). Oh, and the cold iron end of the //Khazad-Spike// was stained with blood and gore. Golandar was cleared thanks to truth magic and some good detective work by (let's say) Jarvis Black and Thomas Lee Moore.


 * Update, Eyre 998 YK:** This one time, in the town of New Cyre, after days of heavy combat, Golandar woke up next to a naked Dwarf Ambassador three times his age. He was also naked, covered in her scent, and wished he had no memory of the night before. But at least he is now fully accepted as a member of the Copper Concord of The Aurum, and his clan elders -- duly impressed with the way he defeated the Clan Droranath champion in single combat and defended the innocents of New Cyre -- have endorsed his permanent possession of the //Khazad-Spike// and title "Champion of Clan Kolkarun." And it was revealed that Brunhild was the one who freed Golandar after the incident at Crossroads, with some well-placed behind-the-scenes bribes.
