Character Generation

Skeinkaldr of the Tuttugufjall clan knew only a life of raiding merchant caravans and nearby settlements. His tribe of goliaths roamed the mountainous regions along The Spine of the World, battling for survival against competing orcs and other barbarian tribes of the north. Skeinkaldr himself relished the opportunities to bash heads in with his warhammer.

There was a fateful encounter with a band of adventurers. The Tuttugufjall herd descended upon the group with barbaric fury, but met their match in a battle of might and magic. Skeinkaldr, amidst the chaos of battle, became distracted by a small brass orb dropped by one of the robed adventurers. He paused his attack to pick up the trinket, admiring the intricate etched runes across its surface. This moment of distraction gave the wizard enough time to cast a fireball that knocked many of the goliaths off the mountain.

Skeinkaldr was blamed for the failed attack, and branded with the exiled name of Nithe-Tuttugufjall, he was cast out of the herd. The lone goliath was left to fend for himself, and he descended from the mountains to join with a mixed group of mercenaries. His size and strength ingratiated himself into their ranks, and he became a soldier of fortune.

He is a brute, content thus far to smash aside any opposition. He knows he is not the leader of these mercenaries, and feels he must secure his membership by being the strongest and most ruthless. He highly distrusts wizards and practitioners of the arcane and treats such with open suspicion.
