Description
History
Stoneric Southernlion hails from the mountain regions of Orsholon. His family members were the backbone of a strong clan of dwarves who controlled and worked the Deepvein Mine, a rich source of gold, platinum and other precious metals.
Tragedy struck Stoneric’s life just before he reached maturity, when a catastrophic cave-in killed nearly all of his clan. Stoneric swore he would never become a miner, but vowed he would work to find safer ways to mine. When he came of age, he left his small village and traveled to Orsholon City, where he worked with Orsholonian Directorate of Mining‘s Training Institute. There, he learned about the latest in mine safety, and was able to develop new techniques of his own design. After two years at the Institute, he left Orsholon City and traveled back to his village, where he put his new techniques to use to help them re-open the Deepvein Mine.
But this was not enough for young Stoneric. He wanted to continue his studies surrounding mining and geology, increasing his knowledge. In the ensuing years, Stoneric has become known as a sage specializing in all things geological. His connection to the land and to what lies below the surface is legendary. It is said he can tell what minerals are in the soil by just tasting it.
