You spent your life in the "Deep Ways," the subterranean highways that connect the Dwarven Kingdoms like Galdros-Migda and Dwaermarr. Unlike surface travelers who navigate by stars, you navigate by air pressure, echo, and the flow of underground rivers. You are a descendant of the survivalists who kept civilization alive in the deep caverns during the fiery devastation of Vol. You know that the dark is not empty, and silence is not always safe. Whether you were a caravan guard, a tunnel-runner, or a messenger, you are at home where the sun never shines.
