BACKSTORY

Sapkarls ancestors were among the Dwarven soldiers who left Rendstaan after the death of Gwaldhar in 968 BL and founded Staan Stok, commonly known as Stone Clan. Most of the families did not practice any sort of magic until the coming of a mysterious mage who appeared in Stone clan and gave the dwarves the enchanted slabs which protected them from various beasts. There were some Dwarves then who decided that learning magic might give them practical knowledge, so magic was added to the subjects some Dwarves chose to study, along with those who persued trading with nearby areas, craftsmen and miners.
Sapkarls father is still employed by the Dwarves who operate the vaults, and provide Moongates for adventurers who choose to move their vaults from one place to another. Sapkarls mother is among those who perished when Lyras's army invaded, but before that time she had worked in the mines.

Sapkarl joined the Moon Mages as a young Dwarf in 332 AvL. He married Dwindella, a fellow Dwarf and MoonMage, in a small but traditional Dwarven Ceremony in the Oeblicher in the year 340 AvL. They later renewed their vows with the modern Rose ceremony <less traditional for Dwarves> in 406 AvL. Although they both maintain their own homes, and study within different sects of the same guild, they continue to enjoy a happy marriage.

Sapkarl and his wife had their first child, Yacov, in the year 345 AvL. A second child was born, Fredrickka, in the year 353 AvL.
Both children now persue gainful employment, Yacov as a Bard and Fredrickka as a Barbarian.

Sapkarl was unsected for a long time within the Moon Mage guild until one day, after hunting boars in the lands north of the Zaulfang, and just south of the Barren Wastes, he saw a vision, or a dream - he is not really sure which. Within this vision, he saw a sightless Prophet who brought him to the gate of a garden... the likes of which he had never seen before. Colors he had only imagined swam before his eyes. Scents from the flowers tickled his nose. He went to touch a flower, and feeling he never knew existed seemed to flow through his veins. Then the prophet gave him a blindfold, and said... now, see the garden without your physical eyes." And lo and behold, somehow he "saw" this garden... although not with his eyes. He asked the Prophet - "how is this possible?" The prophet said - you must seek the garden always. Seek my brethren in the lands to the north. They will show you how." He awoke, and journeyed to a place where G'nar Pethians were said to dwell, and joined the sect. Many insights were conveyed to him, but there are still more secrets yet to be revealed. Those will come in time, and as a Dwarf with a long lifespan ahead of him - he is content to find them at the appropriate time - as "some truths are dangerous without greater knowledge."
