Thornie

A Dwarven Earthmage

Played by Michael Parkinson, is the nickname of young Dwarf of the AsBoldAsStone Clan from Gunir's Hope) whose first adventure was in Autumn 822.

Technically, his name is Thorncliff, 7th (& youngest) child of Hildebrand, son of Dravon the wise, son of Aidon the Swift (who was also called Aidon the Rash and Aidon the Bloody Lucky).

Thornie's only sister is Diana (called Die, an Alchemist). His elder brothers (from ancient to youngest) are Wilfred, Archie, Perceval, Slimy Shit, Eddich (called Dick) ... although, technically, Slimy Shit's official name is Rashleigh (after the way he behaves?).He was directly responsible for an attack on one uncle's business, and has variously compromised or embarrassed other relatives or family friends. Mostly "for kicks", apparently. Unfortunately no-one actually kicked him.

Thornie is an Earth Mage, a so-called pacifistic one... (because if one is not permitted to ritually sacrifice just one truly bestial brother, what's the point of sacrificing ACTUAL Beasts?)
