Biography of Neim Wyrmstrum.
Neim Wyrmstrum was born in the city of Fyealtha ( Magic Tree ), in the year 4. When he was 5 his family settled outside Fyealtha in the plains of glowing. Every night Neim watched the plains illuminate with light, a sight unseen at day but unmissable at night.
At the age of 7 he began apprenticeship as a doctor in Fyealtha. He once mended his fathers broken arm, an accident occurring when a rampant ox decided to challenge him for dominance.
Neim was 9 years old when a warrior elf called Hagfovd Elwik murdered his mother and father. He also took their wheat and livestock. Neim was captured and sold at a slave auction to an elderly elvish woman.
He slaved harshly in the fields of wind for 8 years. At 17 he purchased his freedom from Gyurnin Nighfell, a 100 year old elvish lady.
Across the mountains and through the billowing rivers, Neim reached his home city of Fyealtha once again.
Neim began a small blacksmithing shop in the center of the city. Business was fair and he was making just enough to survive.
Tired of the working life, Neim set off across Angnmar. Stuck in caverns, lost in time, even battling three dragons and hordes of creatures! Neim experienced such ventures that would make any dwarven father proud of his son.
At the ripe age of 45, he ventured back to Fyealtha only to discover it was in ruins. Destroyed by the elves ten years before. In the ruins of the castle, Neim found a sword. The sword was named Sonwin ( sun wind ) and was of previous ownership to the king of Fyealtha, Kixanth Aelbagfa.
Neim slayed a horde of 30 goblin rogues single-handedly and hung their heads in the trees. Neim traveled back to the fields of wind to visit his former master Gyurning.
Neim left and eventually while trekking the plains of savagery came across Hagfovd Elwik. Neim quickly took to combat and engaged him in so. It ended fiercely with Sonwin slicing through his thick skull as he fell off the edge of a cliff into a whirlpool.
At this point little is known about the feats of Neim. Word has gone throughout Angnmar about his power, and many people have come to respect him as a courageous hero of might and justice. One feat that boosted his fame was him defending a small village. The village was being raided by a large dragon, two hundred skeletal elk, and a horde of about sixty three goblins. Neim charged into battle with Sonwin's gleam guiding him. He quickly took down the goblins and skeletal elk, saving a single elk as his trust-given steed. Neim and the great dragon Gaulrus fought for seven days straight. Eventually the dragon grew tired and fell at the feet of Neim Wyrmstrum. The townspeople that day threw him a bountiful feast that lasted two whole weeks, it was marvelous. People from across the land came to see Neim, many a noblesman had given him the title "Neim Dragonsbane "; To Neim the name was perfect, and it stuck.
Ten years after these event, Neim being in his early sixties, stories of his heroic feats and ventured begun to surface once more.
Neim had ventured into the Goblin fortress of Orgajha, killed the king and all of the people who lived there. This caused outrage amongst the goblin people and with that an army of 20,000 goblin soldiers was mustered to take down Neim "Dragonsbane" Wyrmstrum.
News of this had spread to his ear, he began recruiting people into his legion of the four extraordinary dwarves. The first person recruited was a mountainous dwarf named Galdor Pigsok. He was a rounded fellow with a long grey beard, he was a master craftsmen. Galdor Pigsok was infamous for his thunderous shout that literally made the ears of the enemy bleed. The third dwarfsmen of the party was Ilh Adan, whom was an accomplished blacksmith. He was also very persuasive, and carried around a dragon egg in his arms at all times. The fourth and final member was Gandalf Erthuaes ( Seriously his name was Gandalf. ) who was an accomplished swimmer, reader, thinker, and hunter. Gandalf carried around a giant axe known as Gant-So ( Big-One ).
The four dwarves settled a small fortress known as Gundir in the plains of sorrow. The dwarves sent a courier off to the goblin kingdom where his message was delivered, the courier was later slaughtered by the goblins and feasted on; The message contained a well-written letter crafted by Gandalf Erthuaes, it contained threats and taunts claiming that the dwarves could beat the goblins with one eye closed and one arm tied behind their backs.
Two weeks came and went and finally 20,000 goblins lead by king Gromin Sashuuk charged the fortress. The king fell first, doomed the large cauldrons of hot tar poured on them from atop the walls. Other soldiers begun to fall due to the moat that was infested with dangerously electric eels and sea urchins. For the occasion the for dwarves wore heavy steel armor that was triple plated, with the last layer being made of dragon scales; The scales were taken off the dragon with its permission first.
For ten days the goblins stormed the fortress, but to no avail. 16,473 of the 20,000 soldiers were slaughtered. The rest retreated back to there city. Rumors sprea throughout all the goblin kingdoms of their defeat, the goblins were humiliated, but in return the goblins feared him; He became known as Neim Goblin-Slayer to their kind, and will forevermore be remember as so.
