Gundyr

Yoon-Jae's/Dhruv's PC. A Dwarf Cleric.

Background
Gundyr was born in a faraway land. At a young age, his parents were murdered by bandits and he grew up an orphan. His formative years were spent in an orphanage within the walls of Garam, the capital of the Garamond province. In the orphanage, he was introduced to the gospel of Gwyn, the Mother of Sunlight. In Gwyn, he found the parental guidance he longed for. Countless nights of Gundyr's childhood was spent reading scrolls and writing Gwyn fanfiction.

At the ripe old age of sixteen, Gundyr pledged his life to the Church of Gwyn. He excelled in his studies and specialized in healing, hoping to live in Gwyn's image. The higher members of the clergy took notice of Gundyr's devotion and groomed him for missionary duty. For the next few decades, Gundyr faithfully travelled across Garamond, healing and preaching, preaching and healing. The nobility, being members of The Church of Gwyn, showered Gundyr with valor and eventually granted him a small church within the barracks of Garam. The soldiers ate that shit up.

One day, Bolin, the Royal Messenger, approached Gundyr with an important mission. He was to travel to an outlying village and convert the pagan population there. Bolin described the villagers as dangerous fanatics and assigned him a small squadron of soldiers for protection. When they arrived, Gundyr quickly lost control of his troops. They began slaughtering the villagers. He saw parents torn apart from their children. Worse yet, the soldiers were commiting these atrocities in the name of Gwyn. They were reciting the scriptures he had taught them.

Furious, Gundyr called a meeting of the clergy and described what had transpired. To his shock, not only were his fellow clergymen indifferent, they were complicit to the massacre Gundyr had witnessed. They told him that this was a mission sent to them from directly from Gywn. They ordered him to comply or face excommunication. Gundyr chose the latter and left Garam, stripped of his rank. Self-assured that he was truly following the wishes of Gwyn, Gundyr settled himself in Garyndiana, healing the townsfolk and hosting small religious services in his spare time.
