In the dark streets of the Capital, there roams a figure draped in mystery. Grimmold The Impaler, known for his fearsome blue dwarven helmet with horns pointing earthward, moves like a wraith among the alleys and boulevards of the sprawling city. His face, forever concealed in the depths of his helm, betrays nothing but the fierce red glow of his eyes, a reflection of the unquenchable fire within his soul. His magnificent bushy brown beard, the only part of his visage left to the imagination of the onlookers, sways like the boughs of an ancient tree with each determined step he takes. At his side, not as a weapon but as a constant reminder of the weight he carries, is his silver pole-axe, its blade kissed by a sapphire that gleams in the moonlight. This weapon, an extension of his will, has tasted the blood of many foes, each strike a plea to the forces that be to release his brother from a cruel fate. For Grimmold's companion, his brother, now walks the earth in a form far removed from his own. Cursed by a malicious shaman during a skirmish that was meant to be their last together, his brother's essence was trapped in the body of a rhinoceros beetle. This beetle, large and ethereal with eyes that mirror Grimmold's own fiery gaze, is a constant companion atop his shoulder, a silent witness to Grimmold's relentless quest for redemption. The curse, a twisted spell woven with malice and dark magic, has proven unbreakable by common means. Grimmold has sought the aid of the most powerful healers, mages, and ancient beings that dwell in the hidden folds of the Runiverse, each attempt ending in despair. Yet, the bond between the brothers, now tested in ways unimaginable, remains unbroken. Grimmold's resolve has only hardened with each setback, his determination turning into the stuff of legends whispered in the taverns and around campfires. Grimmold's journey has taken him across the reformed landmass of the new Pangea, through realms where magic thrums with life and others where technology clings to existence. In places where the air shimmers with enchantment, he has battled demons and beasts, each victory and defeat etching deeper lines of resolve on his unseen face. In the neon-lit streets of technologically advanced cities, he has parleyed with beings who control elements with the flick of a wrist, their magic alien yet potent. The tale of Grimmold and his beetle brother is a testament to the power of will against the capriciousness of fate. It is a story that continues to unfold, a quest that has yet to reach its conclusion. For Grimmold Impaler of the Capital, the journey is far from over. His brother's curse is a chain that binds them both, but it is a chain that Grimmold is determined to break, no matter the cost, no matter the distance. And in his silent, steadfast companion, he finds the strength to continue, their shared gaze a beacon in the darkness that surrounds them.
