Veronica

Veronica, also referred to as Veronica Velvet, was the second and last child of Vada as well as his only daughter. A dwarf born in F.A 3600, she did not have the honour of living in the shelter of Duorendain, the citadel of their people the Greatbeards. Instead she, along with her older brother Vihorn, were raised in the mansion of their garndfather, Vlados.

At some stage, Vada's wife and the mother of both Vihorn and Veronica was captured and/or killed during a goblin aid on a human settlement she had been visiting, the aftermath of Urist's rampage through Goblin Country. Vada was stricken with grief after this and soon lost interest in the world, taking to walking aimlessly through Troll Country until one day he simply set off into the woods and never returned.

Both Veronica and Vihorn were deeply affected by the loss of their mother and the abandonment by their father, though instead of losing faith like their father did, they decided to translate their mixed emotions into anger and take vengeance on the creatures of the wild. Vihorn was a master with a spear, whilst Veronica was an extremely proficient battle mage, a rarity ammongst dwarves which took many of her foes offguard. It was this passionate hate of the dark creatures that live within Troll Country that grabbed the attention of Thorek II, son of Urist Goblinsbane and therefore a descendant of Duor Greatbeard, founder of Duorendain. The group of them shared many adventures, Thorek and Vihorn becoming close friends, and it was Veronica's ferocity and abstract usage of magic which made Thorek II take an interest in her- the two eventually becoming married.

Veronica and Thorek had one child together, Eiki, whom was also raised to be a warrior like her parents, though could never match the level of sheer audacity that her parents had attained. Eiki did however get into the bounty hunting business, where she met and fell in love with the nefarious Mösc, though she died on one of her missions. Veronica therefore took it upon herself to raise Neandul and gave up her life of fighting.

Veronia eventually died at the age of 382 in the arms of her husband, felled by the minions of the Dungeon Master during the retaking of the mountains.
