Amber Bearkin

Amber Bearkin is a female mountain dwarf barbarian. The Bearkin Clan roam and hunt outside the mountain, instead of living inside it. They are seen as outlanders by those who dwell beneath.

Amber enjoys playing her dwarven drum, especially the echo that bounces off od the sides of the mountain, enhancing the sound, making it as though one can hear the heartbeat of the stone itself.

The Bearkin Clan have a special rapport with the bears of the mountain. Each dwarf, as part of their first hunt, is required to slay a mountain bear to claim and bind its spirit to their own as a totem. She proudly wears her bearskin fur cloak as a symbol of that bond.

Amber was plagued by nightmares as a child. A travelling merchant sold her a rainbow-coloured nightcap. The merchant claimed it would bring her peace. Much to Amber's surprise, it worked. So long as she sleeps with it at night, she always has pleasant dreams. Of course, what a female mountain dwarf outlander barbarian considers to be pleasant dreams is probably much different than that of most civilized folks.
