Beta

Bjirnrindhring, second son of Nivrnrindhring, also known as 'Beta' is on the small side for a deep gnome male, standing just a hair over 83cm. Clad in rough woven robes,  wiry and lean with a body as hard as a slab of rock. Bald, with large orange-green eyes, large nose, and thick lips, 'Beta' could never be described as handsome, though his eyes shine with intelligence, bright and clear, reflecting green and orange edges. He's pushing a small wooden wheelbarrow, a shapeless feature perched on his shoulder.

On his 29th name day, he and all the other 29'ers from his clan were vetted by the clan elders - 'On Beta's part of the wall, a wizardly family's thought trees were held by the illusionists and war mages known as the 'breachgnomes' who protected the chutes and spires of the Underdark reaches. And, as he is the second son of a wizardly family: if he is to join his cousins and brother in the breach walls, he must learn the glyphs, wards, and war magic traditions of his family tree on his own. Only then will he be raised up, to live and die protecting the families of Grue Aiga from the menace of the Underdark's hordes.

Today, he wanders, knowing only of words that explode in strong, spinning, and cutting squares and of the small efforts that make waves and clouds of rock, water, and ice, disappear and are replaced.
