Personal history
Ravs Cullger was born in 1405 in the Cezzhar clan to the Cullger family, a family of dwarves dedicated clandestine activities and information brokering all in the name of the god Abbathor. The Cullgers primarily operated outside the bounds of the clan, performing a variety of illegal activites with the clan's best interest at heart.
However, while most of the Cullgers were famed for their stoicism, Ravs was a black sheep, using his family's training to pull pranks and always being quick with a smile. While he recieved preferential treatment growing up, being the grandson of the Cullger family head, Easton Cullger, Ravs' unconventional methods fulfilling missions, such as convincing a mark with a drink rather than a knife to spill information or publically humiliating those he was supposed to kill, caused him to be seen as a waste of potential.
Nevertheless, Ravs still felt called to worship Abbathor in his own way as a cleric, as Ravs viewed risk taking as a form of greed unto itself. Seeing his burgeoning connection, Easton Cullger dispatched Ravs to travel the world, occasionally sending missions his way to serve the clan, but with the primary goal of making Ravs stronger and deepening his clerical bond.
While traveling around the Sword Coast North, Ravs ended up in Neverwinter in mid-1496, where he took on a job with the leader of the Neveren Shepards Callum Nailsmith and fellow Shepard Robyn Goodfellow to clear monsterous rats from a basement cellar.
In late 1497, Ravs' sister, Bouba, went missing while investigating Clearhallow and the town's eponymous curse. Sent a letter by his grandfather telling him to go find her, Ravs journed to Clearhallow in early 1498, where he stumbled across Callum and Robyn again, who were making the trip to figure out what happened to Callum's wife Lenore after her soul seemingly attached itself to his body.
Upon arriving in the town in Ches of 1498, Ravs and company met Lemmikki Karkkonen, a young local who was magically unable to leave a three-mile radius around Clearhallow as a result of the curse. Ravs, Callum, Robyn, and Lemmikki, joined by common purpose, formed the temporary adventuring party the Unstompables.
The Unstompables discovered that the cause of the curse was a magical crystal touched by the god Cyric, which controlled the mind of any who touched it, enslaving them to join the local Cult of Cyric. During their investigation, Ravs negotiated with members of Clearhallow and the nearby town of Easthorn to start accumulating property.
Following the shattering of the Cyric-touched crystal, freeing those under its sway, including Bouba, and disposing or driving off the last of the cult, the Unstompables dissolved, their purpose fulfilled. While the rest of the group departed for Neverwinter, Ravs decided to stay in the area for a time and construct a water park. He continued construction and operation of this waterpark for a few years before leaving without a word.
Morality & Philosophy
While Ravs’s antics may have seemed like nonsensical risks to those around him, they were to him the best way to exercise his worship of Abbathor. Greed is a desirable trait in dwarven society, and Ravs’s greed is exemplified by risk taking for his own amusement and the amusement of others. By taking risks he found himself able to manipulate magic a bit better than most in his family, and the more elaborate stunts he pulled, the more Abbathor appeared to bless Ravs with further power.
Ravs himself doesn’t lean evil as Abbathor does but, that hasn’t dulled the appreciation Abbathor has deemed appropriate to Ravs’s methods of self-fulfillment for himself and the likeminded around him.
