Hjarlmar was born to a loving family at the west end of the Dwarven
Encampment. His father was a soldier in the Dwarven ranks and worked on the
clean-up of the battle between Dwarves and Slith that drove the lizard
peoples from their homes. When he had first heard the stories of the defeat
of the Sliths at the hands of his father and the rest of the Dwarven army
Hjarlmar had pangs of pity for the reptilian folk. After all, who would
want to lose their homes, and see their friends and families killed? But as
time went on and Hjarlmar grew older he was taught the true history of the
dwarven/slith conflict and had his eyes opened to the fact that the slith
race was one borne of evil and needed to be cleansed in order to protect the
peaceful citizens of Valor and the surrounding lands of western Serin.
Eventually Hjarlmar was old enough to begin training in combat himself. He
was a courageous fighter and began to make a name for himself around the
encampment and even northwards into Valour. When he reached the age where
young men and women would decide whether to try to become a Knight of
Valour, opted not to apply as he found the strict regiment slightly out of
his comfort zone. But we was a fierce protector of all that is Good and
wanted to help Serin in some way, so decide to take the route of Valourian
nobility. So began Hjarlmars journey through the annals of Serin history.
Description:
This dwarf's well-manicured fingernails rest at the tips of short, stubby
fingers. Black stringy hair falls down around his shoulders brushing them
gently. His posture is strong yet stiff, echoing a radiant aura of
discipline and strength. His eyes swirl with a dark, grey hue that recast
the image of a powerful thunderstorm.
I want to thank Dav for his comments in the log (see above) where I tried to gank the shaman training at a dummy. Dav you really caused me to think about my actions and reconsider things, and I appreciate it. I don't know if that was your intention or not but either way it caused me to do some serious self-reflection. I've been chasing what I thought was the perfect ass-kicking paladin for a couple years now since the Paladin Patch and I lost sight of the forest through the trees.
I've always struggled at PK. When the pally patch came out I thought this was now my golden ticket to actually being able to keep up in PK and maybe even have a double-digit kill count for the first time in my 15+ year career here. With each new pally I'd get a *tiny* bit better at pk but usually at the expense of paladin RP....until this guy where I clearly crossed the line. It was like a demon was taking hold of me bit by bit, which is actually kind of a neat narrative for the whole demon-elf thing...except since this guy wasn't an Eradicator I could only take him to Outcast. I was going to try to recover from the scarecrow debacle by taking this guy evil and outcasted but finally decided to nuke him and move to my next. I need to take a break from paladins, a long one. Dav when you quoted my number of pallys over the years I almost fell off my chair. I've been in a rut, chasing that perfect paladin high like a heroin addict. I'm already working on something totally different and new and already feeling better.
@Anath, sorry for the gank. You were right, it was a trash move on my part.
I dunno, healer always seems like it would be boring. No?

The trick is to join a cabal with a healer, then pair it with a powerhouse like a warrior. Its really easy to babysit a warrior while he kicks everybodys ass, and you can just summon people into him. That is not boring, if you get the chance to do it. Also, Winter is an option

This is legitimately what my peak AR experience was 25 years ago. Ranger instead of warrior but same thing. Doubt anybody remembers the names but healer Mina would have summon wars over me as Dar against our legion adversaries. Everything they'd fail one, she would sanc me, and I'd ruin them upon return. Nobody really did the sanc pot thing back then...
