Trevor Astorio was born into a family of blacksmiths and was content on following in his father’s footsteps, as his father did to his father and his father did before him. However, at the age of 10, Trevor met a wandering dwarf who asked him for water and he gave him a wineskin full of water and a piece of bread of his own making. The dwarf never forgot Trevor’s kindness and from that moment on, he returned yearly to check the child that had so little and yet was willing to share it with a stranger. The dwarf watched Trevor grow a bit taller and a bit stronger every time and once a year, during almost thirty years, the human would take a break from work and catch up with his dwarven visitor.
On the dwarf’s last visit, he found – the now full grown – man Trevor aching over the passing of his wife and child. The dwarf then asked Trevor to join him on his pilgrimage and as he had nothing left to lose, he accepted. Together, human and dwarf forged a sword carved with gems from the long lost mines of the Thunderforge clan, and the friends Trevor and Boradin travel side by side since then.
