Personal history

Spluglug was obsessed with the transformation of raw metals into great works of art and engineering and feeling discontent with the simple lifestyle of his family and tribe, he left for the Graywall Mountains after hearing about the smithing and artificing skills of the Minotaurs found deep underground.
 
It took Spluglug time to provide himself to the Minotaurs and dealt with a lot of hazing and bullying from the behemoths that towered over him, but his drive to succeed prevented him from giving up. Once he was accepted, he quickly learned all he could about various metal; how to determine their quality, and how best to forge them.
 
Upon the discover of Glimmerstone, Spluglug left the hold he called home for so many years to learn more about this strange new metal and to establish himself in the region as a master of his craft. After working in the mines and smithy of Brightrock, his skill and determination enamored the miners and they elected him as a councillor to help manage the growth of the town.
