I'm currently on a Moonshae campaign, hit lv 5, with my Duergar Death Cleric. I was going through my backstory again and although it's cool with my DM and party I wanted to see how well it would fit with the larger DnD space as a whole? I'll copy/paste it below, please tell me what you think.
Hadgar Greystone followed the call of Laduguer ever since he came of age. He joined the armed forces of the Duergar where he fought with righteous zeal against his people's enemies, using his martial skill. Whoring, drinking, fighting orcs and getting into barfights was Hadgar's main occupation.
Until in one such barfight he met members of the Order of the Thuldor (Those who Endure). He was inducted on the spot. For a century Hadgar fought alongside the order in Dunspeirrin , using his death magicks next to his hammer to inflict pain and death on the enemy. One day however during a skirmish with Shield Dwarves, both groups fell into a gaping chasm after a massive earthquake. Many days later only he and a shield dwarf named Helga Battlehammer managed to escape the horrors beneath. A strong bound was created between the two during that time as both decided to leave the war.
They settled in Icewind Dale where they married whereupon he took her last name. He lived in the village of Feldûnost, a village near Easthaven in Icewind Dale populated by dwarves and humans, for many years with his wife and family. For decades he served as the town's blacksmith and militia commander. He was a good husband, father and even grandfather to his family until one day Helga died from an illness he could not cure. His youngest son, Bhurin, left shortly thereafter after a argument broke out between the two. For seven years he wallowed in pity and rage, hunting goblins to ease the pain. Were it not for his family, he would've gotten himself slain. One night years later, Hadgar had a vision that Bhurin was in trouble. He slew a nearby band of bandits and dedicated their deaths to Laduguer who whispered the name of a place to him. Moonshae. After having bid goodbye to his family he immediately he set off on one last quest...
He has a broken arrow tattooed on his forehead, a sign of his religion. He worships Laduguer, the Duergar/Dwarven god of smithing, Deep Duarra, the Duergar/dwarven goddess of conquest and Father Winter and dedicates all his kills to these three. He carries with him a Warhammer enchanted with frost magic. A soft clinging of bells is heard as the hammer is raised. Itself is a hammer with a green hilt and a red and white hammerhead enhanced with strange runes. When asked he says the hammer's name is "Yulebringer" and it belonged to a fierce warrior who gave it to him as a present for the many years of friendship. Guessing by the amount of attention and care he gives to the hammer it must've belonged to someone he cared about quite deeply...
I was going for a Darth Vader/Mike Ehrmantraut kind of character and I've played him as such. The Christmas themed hammer is actually a item I got from a Christmas oneshot where I played a Dwarf Life Cleric whom I retconned into being Hadgar's father in law. The hammer went to his daughter and was later given to Hadgar on her deathbed. Kinda like how Kratos got his axe from Faye in God of War 4. The explanation why Hadgar Battlehammer was lv 1 was because for all those years he had strayed away from Laduguer's teachings but is slowly getting back into his favour by dedicating kills in his honour.
What do you guys think? Fluff friendly or not?

That is cool. I once came up with a hill dwarf druid who was inspired by father Christmas. He was cool. Might put him in as an NPC in my next campaign (I'm DM). I love the story for your character. Makes sense.

Oh can you share your Christmas Hill Dwarf's sheet? He sounds neat!
And thanks, after reading what I could on Duergar ( had to reroll my CG dwarf cleric because my party were all evil bastards) I had to come up with a reason why he'd be on Moonshae, be willing to put up with other party members and still try to help people.

I don't have outlander background, so I'll explain it. Hill dwarf druid. Outlander background. Stats: 14 str, 16 wis, 8 int, 10 cha, 13 dex and 14 con. Equipment: handaxe, shield, totem focus, leather armour (will upgrade to hide), then the stuff from outlander background. Spells: druidcraft, either produce flame or frostbite, can't remember 1st level spells. There you go. It was fun. Made his cabin in a Minecraft world. It was really cool.

Thanks! :) Im really happy that you like it. I always thought of summoners as wizards, sorcerers or eldritch Knights. But I guess warlock does actually make sense now... The first post for DnD is going to be about starting a new campaign. I hope you enjoy it!! As we now have Covid-19, I might have more time to do the blogs. Please tell your friends, and thank you.

I was gonna recommend "The Burning Shores". It's a Warhammer book which is pretty much 'The Road to El Dorado' but with French Knights, Russians, Dwarves and wizards vs...Dinosaurs.

The warhammer actually plays " Jingle of the bells" when used or when I use Toll the dead, that's my shtick.
