Shadow World

Player: Dan Ansell

Background:Hulgric is from a small town in a mountainous area known as the Stonehills. The Stonehillers are a quite clannish bunch, similar in some ways to Celts or Vikings. The Stonehillers live in small clan-based communities, generally based on small scale agriculture, and the herding of sheep, and cattle. He is a hunter by trade, generally dealing with the large carnivores that prey on herds in the deeper mountains. He also acts as a shepherd, and has a small farm he maintains, near his clans holdings. Like most Stonehillers, Hulgric believes in the Spirit of the Stone, a minor cult that worships the Stonehills themselves, the Spirit being a personification of them. In particular, he is a Stone Brother, one of a group of young men dedicated to protecting the Stonehills, and by extension, the Stonehillers, from external threats. Their magic is in common things, steel and stone, things worked by the efforts of men. Hulgric is an archer, well versed in the use of weapons, though more those of the hunter then the warrior. He has passed the Rites of Stone, which gives him a connection to the spirits of earth, stone, and steel. Physically, Hulgric is a large man, forged by a hard life, making him strong and sturdy. He is stubborn, a common trait amongst Stonehillers, and according to legend, they came to the Stonehills because they sought a land as hard and unyielding as they are.

Description:Hulgric is a tall, powerfully built man, looking in some ways carved out of the stone which he serves. His hair is brown, his features craggy. Normally he wears a long, heavy leather jerkin, with leather and wool leggings, and mountaineer's boots.
