Update: ADDED TO BACKSTORY:
At an age of 140, age has started to show signs of taking a toll on Khorug.The puzzle of his past life has been kicked around by Jishrim. He can't fit the pieces together as well as he used to. Some parts mix together with other parts. He starts to suffer from dementia. At times, he prays to Korog as if he never left him. Other times, he talks to people, telling them he's going to ask advice from someone who's been dead or missing for quite some time. Or he can get really annoyed by something that has already been solved years ago. He's alone (lenid), his kin spread over the world. Like in the old days, when he was young, his mind tells him to unite his brothers. But being old, he can barely focus on it. Before he can achieve anything in finding his lost kin, he has already forgotten why he stepped aboard the boat to a certain city. He has seen the Dwarves rise and fall, kings come to power, losing power, dying. All these ages now take random order inside his mind. He's truly troubled.

+ Updated with short and long term goals, plus this:
Being under the impression that Korog is closer to him than before, Khorug has returned to his path of priesthood and gave it an almost shamanic twist. He now calls upon the power of Korog to heal people from diseases, to guide people on their path of life and to give people purpose. Having always been an intelligent and educated Dwarf, he seeks to prove the myths that exist in Altera. He uses his shamanic approach and knowledge to track mystical beings, hopefully to display parts of them in a public display.

Added Khorug's true nature. If you like surprised IC, I advise you not to read it. If you want to know more about this character and keep meta out of this, have a read! :)

+ update on something that happened in RP today. Because of the one event being cancelled, in which I planned for us to kill the last of the savages, some have survived and came to take revenge on Khorug.

"At the age of 150, arriving in the new world, seeing his old Dwarven house gone and no Dwarvish Dwarves around, he's started an attempt to establish the Dwarves as an important faction. He set up house Dwargar, in which some of his old friends joined him. Together, they destroyed the savages on Horror Island and took their caves for themselves. Here, they established a town called Hurr Nor. In this time, it turned out not all savages were slain. While walking alone in one of the caves, several savages jumped from the walls and dragged him to a fire. They clawed at him and pushed his face in the coals. Khorug managed to escape, after he stabbed the savages with a dagger he kept under his belt."

I've had Khorug for a long time. With selling the Hurr Nor region, this character has ended as well. It was his time anyway!


Khorug assembled Dwarves and other races alike to drive the savages off the island and claim it for the Dwarves as a new home. This much is known. But what most people do not know, is that they had committed a genocide. The savages weren't as savage as Khorug had made the crowd believe. And they had never harmed anyone except those who came to invade their island. Khorug had made them do terrible things without the them kn0wing.

It turned out, that Khorug had designed for the Dwarven home to be on the island, because he had felt an evil presence there. The island wasn't just a place for Dwarves, but was in fact first and foremost: the headquarters of the Dark Order. Khorug was at the head of the Dark Order, an organisation that killed, maimed and scared many a people for seemingly no reason at all, but just to commit violence. Once people found out Khorug was at the head of the Dark Order and the Order was situated in Hurr Nor, they came with pitchforks and torches.

They broke through the heavy iron doors that closed the Dark Order's headquarters from the Dwarven settlement Hurr Nor. They stormed the headquarters, burning everything that could be burned until they arrived at the bone throne of Khorug. They stood in the doorway. A pool of blood at their feet. Bodies hanging from their ankles from the ceiling and the throne high atop a slippery staircase in the far back of this hall. They looked up in anguish at the blood and gore slowly dripping and forming a stream all the way down to the pool at their feet. Reluctant, they crossed a narrow bridge over the pool. They looked up again, there sat Khorug, high atop on his throne made from the bones of the many savages that used to live on the island.

His face dark and evil in the light of the few candles that burned from skulls embedded in the throne. A few brave ones charged forward from the angry mob, making their way up the slippery stairs. Soon the rest of the civilians followed with their pitchforks and torches. Khorug stood up to make himself look big and scare them off, but he was surrounded. Just as he stood as tall as he could, just as he was about to address the mob, twist their minds through his serpent tongue, the first man ran his pitchfork through the Dwarf's body. And another pierced his ribs, and another, and another! Until there was little more left of the Dwarf than a beard floating in a pile of gore atop an awful throne.

So ends the rule of the evil Khorug...
