Dwenar
Born and raised in Thorin’s hall Dwenar was still young when Thorin and Company left to reclaim Erebor, but it soon became his mission to see the great dwarf kingdoms of old renewed. Growing up in Ered Luin at the sights of some ancient dwarven structures and civilizations Dwenar’s desire for the ancient knowledge of the dwarves rises above that of even treasures of the ancient kingdoms.
He spent most of his childhood listening to tales from travelers trying to learn as much of the outside world as he could. He regrets the coldness between Dwarves and Elves as he sees not only a loss in allies and the potential for trouble, but also an economic downturn as well. All the same he would see the old alliances renewed and the dwarven goods begin to circulate once more.
Although he regularly looks to diffuse disagreements and make friends, the reality of world is that this is not always possible. Trained in the Shield and Axe he has proven to be as successful in fighting as he is in diplomacy.
