Din Family/Mikolas
Mikolas Din is the bastard son of a prostitute named Sarley and one of the many warriors she serviced. Adopted by Angus & Sabetha Din he was raised equally in the church as well as the woods. Angus gave Mikolas plenty of work to build him into a man as well as taught him how to handle a sword. The church gave Mikolas the character and knowledge to temper the tenacity of his upbringing by Angus.
Mikolas travelled as a mercenary for many years, honing his skills and abilities. It was during this time that he found that his size and strength were better suited for a different weapon. Mikolas had a warhammer built special for him. With a sixteen pound head and a 3 1/2 foot shaft, Mikolas can be heard raising quite a "din" on the battlefield. Mikolas named his warhammer "Stumpcrusher", due to the unique way that he trains.He can often be heard singing loudly while in battle:
Crush a stump, crush a stump,
Kick the enemy in his rump.
Crush a stump, crush a stump, Never met a maid to plump.
After a battle two summers back Mikolas had found a barrel of mead in a celler of a burnt down house. As Mikolas was downing the first swallows of the mead, he noticed a warrior much like himself coming down the road. It appeared that this warrior named Magnus could smell mead from a mile away.
Drinking the barrel of mead, they shared stories of battles and women the rest of the night and became good friends. Magnus invited Mikolas to come and visit Perdan. After being banned from most of the taverns in his own country, he travelled to Perdan and is loving it so far.
Letter from Mikolas Message sent to everyone in your realm (133 recipients) Mikolas pulls out his wineskin and takes a drink of cool water. The training of his men today had been taxing to say the least. As he pulls the wineskin down he sees the Ex-High Marshal running through Brive as naked as the day he was born. Trying to catch up to him, and holding his clothes and banner is the Queen.
"By gosh and by golly, that's not something you see everyday." Mikolas thinks.
Just as he is about to take another drink, out of the corner of his eye Mikolas notices movement over by the Suffering Sloth. He looks just in time to see a different man go flying through the air and land at the feet of some men that his friend Magnus is sitting with.
"Must be a full moon today...." he says looking skyward.
Booooooommmmmm!!!! Mikolas is starled by a loud explosion in the distance over by Thrydwulfs tent. He turns just in time to see some guy impaled on a pole go shooting up into the air.
"That's gotta hurt." Mikolas says, "Well, I know one thing...Magnus was right about this place being interesting....a little crazy maybe, but interesting. I think I'll fit right in." Mikolas begins to sing as he returns to practicing his weapon skills against a dead tree.
"Crush a Stump, crush a stump. Kick my enemies in their rump."
"Crush a stump, crush a stump. Ne'er met a maid to plump."
"Yep, a little crazy is good", Mikolas says as drives the warhammer he named "Stumpcrusher" into the tree again, throwing splinters in all directions.
