Character

My name is Erdrik Ironrose. I was once from Ala Mhigo, but I was young at the time. I was separated from my family, but a mining family in Ul'Dah took me in. They showed me the ropes; taught me how to be a miner.
I was intrigued by the way the metals were; maybe it was the glint or the way they meshed together so tightly.
I became a blacksmith because of that. I have to say; I had the talent. I rose to what my friends called "private fame". Some even said I made better armour and weaponry than the professionals.
Needless to say, I wanted to put that to the test. So one day when my parents weren't looking and I was but a teen, I lied my way into the Gladiator's arena.
Not a scratch or a scar did I bare upon that battle! Though I was unfortunately knocked unconscious during the battle and failed to win myself a prize.
I became fixated by the battle and set off outside of Ul'Dah, joining the Adventurer's Guild, even travelling through Mor Dhona and Coerthas. The adventure was what drove me on throughout the days, until a rather nasty bout against some Beastkin left me stranded in Frondale's Phrontistery.
It was there that I met my brother. How I recognised him after all of this time you say? Well, it's a bit difficult not to. We're twins.
At any rate, I'm rabbitting on. Mayhaps some day soon I'll have a larger story to tell...
