Belegar Ironbeard

Belegar Ironbeard's clan was originally from HammersForge and had a mine on the border of the Gnome and Dwarf territory. At the end of the Gnomish Dwarvish conflicts the Gnomes took control of the Ironbeard's mine. With the suppression of Dwarven traditions and the loss of their ancestral home the clan moved to Wallachia to work as traveling merchants and craftsmen.

Belegar had spent his life with his clan traveling town to town to find work. He grew up hearing stories passed down from the longbeards about their ancestral home, and the way of the gnomes. The stories sparked a hatred of the gnomes and a desire to never see his culture suppressed. While traveling the route from Blach Wallachia to Traders Hub the clan's caravan was ambushed by a large band of bandits. The dwarves were caught unaware of the ambush but were saved when a priest from the Way of the White and his body guards intervened. The clan felt a kinship with the church and swore they would repay the church by sending members of the clan to assist the order.

Belegar was only a beardling at the time so he was one of the dwarves that joined the church. While in the church Belegar wanted to keep his people's traditions alive and studied smithing and Dwarven traditions along side his work in the church. When Belegar finally reached the rank of cleric he had a special holy symbol forged that combined the WoW holy symbol with a silhouette of a bearded on it to symbolize the bond his clan shares with the Wow.
