Thirk Golemsmasher

The once ward to Glim Timber’s, Thirk Golemsmasher has grown beyond not only the expectations of the less judgemental members of the Allura’s crew, but surpassed even what Glim Timber’s himself had set out as the boy’s journey to becoming a knight. He started as nothing more than a page, but now holds the position of Knight of Miniras, a title that Glim can, but rarely grants to those he takes on as students.

Long before Thrik was born a small war between those of pure Orc birth forced to the Mogley Forest after the Battle of Warwick, came upon the gnome city of Miniras. This battle ended after a short time, the Gnomes proving themselves to be just as capable as defending themselves as the Orcs were at destroying. The gnomes, knowing the orcs forces had already suffered a great defeat at the hands of the Dwarves of Lampstone, offered them a small space to settle within the Mogley, both agreeing that they would call upon one another should aid be required, which they did. This peace lasts until the current timeline and is the sole reason Glim Timber’s took on Thirk as his ward. Though the orc’s would rarely ask for aid, or anything outside of supplies or weapons, the cheiftan of Thirk’s outpost came not looking for a teacher for his boy, but the teacher… He was not a full blooded orc, and therefore could not be taught to fight by those weapons masters in his village, but he would be taught by the gnome to teach their kind before, The Eldritch-Knight, Glim Timbers. The gnome was well into a retirement phase, not accepting anymore apprentices… but upon seeing the Half-Orc… and then seeing his dust covered treehouse… he thought to himself that it was time to take up a monster contract, head to the coast and stretch his legs once more.

Thirk has travelled with the crew of the Allura since his guarantor, Glim joined Torgat the Hornet and Darmon the Blackrock in Salt Side at the very beginning of the quest to save Askaira from the return of Dukath. He has proven himself to be both invaluable in certain circumstances, and a severe liability in others, but his value has proven to outweigh his faults as some amongst the crew have come to see him as a friend, not just an ally. Others still have come to love him, feeling a great connection that binds him to not just the crew, but the idea of their quest all together. He is a part of the crew of the Allura almost as solid as the captains themselves.
