Always one of the best hunters in the clan, Elfog had taken on the role of mentor to many a young dwarf, leading parties of the young ones into the wild to show them the ways of the hunt. Several years ago, while on an outing with a particularly green group, the party was ambushed by three orcs. Being dwarves, the young ones showed no fear, but Elfog knew it wouldn't end well for the inexperienced hunters and ordered them to flee. "I hold these pigs off ya, now RUN!!! he screamed and threw himself into battle.
Several hours later a search party arrived, tasked with retrieving the brave dwarf's corpse, whose actions saved the lives of his fellow clan members. What they found astounded them; Elfog's body, surrounded by four, no five brutally beaten orcs. Kneeling beside's Elfog, Yog the Cleric was preparing to say a prayer for the fallen hero when she thought she heard a weak whimper.
Sure enough, Elfog had somehow managed to survive his battle with the six orcs. With Yog's expert care and months of recuperation Elfog was able to make a full recovery and for the bravery shown on that day, and his willingness to sacrifice himself for other's in the clan, the leader of Clan Oakshoulder bestowed upon him Tolvihar, The Slayer of Vorosakarny and Feller of Orias!
