Ardrick Blackstone

Ardrick Blackstone (from Common black- 'black' and -stone 'stone'), was a dwarven cleric of Kord. He gained notoriety as a crewmember of the brig-sloop The Satisfied Fishwife.

Early Life

Ardrick was raised in a coastal village of Black Stone Cove. It was predominantly a fishing village, although there was also a trading market where locals would sell figurines and tools made out of the famous local obsidian. The cove itself was lined with obsidian. This unique stone brought many Dwarven families to the region. Some say it was the mouth of an extinct volcano, others that it was made by an angry dragon’s breath. His family had a fishing boat, which was enough to make them prosperous and comfortable. Ardrick was going to follow in his sibling’s and father’s footsteps and learn the fishing trade. However, around his 16th birthday a procession of priests came through the town and as was tradition they tested every child that was of age. When they handed me the Eye of Kord it glowed and crackled with lightning energy. I was taken to the local temple and from then on I was trained as a cleric of Kord.
