Magaroth Owlsbear

Magaroth Owlsbear
Magaroth Owlsbear is the son of a wealthy family who made their riches from an ale called the black owlbear talon and other potent drinks. The drinks were discovered and the bar/brewery founded 4 generations before Magaroth. The bar grew into a tavern, the tavern into a market and tavern. Ultimately it grew into a large complex and a powerful clan.

A group of elvin clerics stayed at the tavern. One of them left a book in his room, the holy tome for clerical initiates of Y'veliet Rae. A young Magaroth flips through the book. He has picked up a rough understanding of elvish from his family and the few elvin patrons. Soon he is reading the tome for several hours a day. Magaroth begins rubbing elbows with the few elvin patrons so to better his understanding of the elvish tongue. Magaroth's da catches him reading it and says he must never read it again. It is blasphemy for a dwarf. Driven by his new faith Magaroth continues in secret.

Magaroth becomes a cleric of the godess without fully understanding the meaning of it. The goddess begins to whisper to Magaroth about preparations he must make.

On the night the dark one was released Magaroth was woken by the goddess and instructed to take his pack to a hidden place in tunnels under the complex. As Magaroth was leaving he came upon his younger brother Matgrin stealing away with the family recipe book. There was a fight which resulted in Matgrin leaving the complex empty handed. Magaroth intended to return the book to the safe but was urged by the goddess to go on. Matgrin's location is unknown. In the tunnels Magaroth is swallowed up by a magical plant which preservers his life. In the plant he goes into a coma. The goddess speaks to him in dreams for many years. Magaroth's bond to Y'veliet Rae grows to the point of love. Then one day she stops speaking.

110 years pass. Magaroth is spit out. He climbs out to find the world has completely changed. His family, clan, and home was destroyed in the apocalypse. He now starts out to find why his dear Y'veliet Rae has stopped speaking. He is told it's believed she is dead but he refuses to believe it. However this frigid world does make him wonder what has befallen his beloved Y've.
