Bardaa Aleriven's Bio |
|
|
|
|
|
220 years ago, in the great Dwarven Undercity mines of Mordoran, the only girl child of Brimdin and Moinan Aleriven was born. 15 brothers she had and was raised up as their little princess of the great Caves. They named her Bardaa Numoria, and she was the mascot of her fathers famous tavern, Tankard's Brim. Dwarves from all over came to sample Brimdins famous drinks, special recipes of magic and vice seldom seen by others. With fame and the greatness of her Father came a deep respect from his daughter and she longed to follow in his footsteps. For years upon years she served the merry customers of Tankard's Brim under her fathers stern but loving tutilage and she learned her craft. As time went on she took over more and more of the duties at Tankard's Brim, becoming something of a celebrity in the massive boomtown of the Mordoran mines. |

One day not long after Bardaa's 115 birthday Brimdin announced that he was going on a quest...all around the world he was to travel, making a huge compilation and encyclopedia of all things alcoholic and he decided to take his beloved daughter with him. 48 years she traveled with her father, never minding that she was unmarried as Dwarven men tend to care more for artestry and smithing than marriage. A great tome of libations grew and grew until the two of them alone could no longer carry it around with them and fashioned a special pony drawn wagon, going from place to place filling pages upon pages with liquers, beers, spirits and wines. Scores upon scores writ were the recipies of alcohols of many peoples and cultures. They dined and drank with Elves, Fae, Centaurians and haflings. Dragons, orcs, goblins and aeries. Many and many until both of them were so longing for home and the pleasant darkness given by the sparkling caves of Mordoran. |

A great "bash" was held upon their return that lasted for months and a museum was erected to hold the "Tome of Libations". Dangerous magics and sloshiness was held therein and all declaired it wonderful, the drinking went on for weeks. Finally the Dwarves of Mordoran came out of their drunken stupor and began normal life once again only to discover that so many people had come to the great bash that the mines could no longer fit all of them...taverns, homes, great halls and massive bashrooms built especially for the bash fills the great Caves until there was simply no more room. |

An enormous eviction was held almost like an election, tickets given to each of the thousands of members of Mordoran and everyone held their breath. One by one the numbers on the tickets were called and the unlucky number-holders were evicted from the Mines, given all they needed to seek their fortunes above ground. To the great sorrow of her family, Bardaa was one whos "number was called". But she, being the intrepid daughter of her family, decided that this would be a great adventure and her family was happy. Many gifts she was given as eviction presents. Presents of gold and mithril, diamonds and rare stone, but the greatest of all these gifts was a medium sized Tome from her Father. A thousand pages this book held, pages from the Tome of Libations. |

With a light heart Bardaa Numoria Aleriven set out on her adventure, seeking out a place where she could practice her Fathers arts of drink and vice, looking for a home to open a great and famous tavern of her own. Many letters she wrote to many kingdoms, requesting tavernspace bot she only continued to wander. Some places held no magic and others feared the dwarves but she kept on. Meeting a strange Winged Lady on the outskirts of a strange Kingdom called Asgard she found her answer. This winged Lady said she was Queen and could use someone of her talents in her bright and shining city to run the tavern, The Wanderer Found. Well Bardaa thought this name was perfect and took it as an omen. With great shouting and cheering she packed up her small wagon and without a second thought moved herself to Asgard where even now she sells strange and secret drinks from the Tome of Libations. Where she will go from there noone knows but she can be seen sometimes in the night reading from a large old book and laughing, toasting her Father. |
