Orrin Stormshield

Orrin Stormshield is a noble from the Exeter and the current head of House Stormshield.

Appearance
Orrin is an older dwarven man with medium-length gray hair worn in a ponytail and neatly kempt beard. When at home, he wears an intricately patterned dark blue robe.

Personality
Orrin is widely considered a man of his word and hardly the worst of the Exeter's nobility. He has a strong distaste for the grandstanding and flattery involved in King Thoros's court and lives a relatively secluded life with limited influence given his station as a result. However, Orrin is a great appreciator of good food and strives to maintain enough of his reputation to access the royal banquets. He is also a stickler for punctuality.

Background
At some point, Orrin became the leader of House Stormshield. His position left him responsible for the abandoned dwarven hold called Kahzdurga. In the course of the year prior to the Pog Champions' arrival in the Exeter, Orrin had avoided court activities so thoroughly that he was in danger of not being invited to that year's Bequeathing Ceremony. As a result, Orrin was on the lookout for an opportunity to regain some easy favor with the king.

Entering the Exeter
When the Pog Champions' entrance to the Exeter was barred by the city's closure, they learned of the opportunity to gain entry by taking care of a mad mage and his flesh golem in the halls of Kahzdurga. In exchange for their services and the delivery of the mage's arcane focus, Orrin was able to use the little influence he had left at court to grant them passage into the city. When the adventurers arrived in the Exeter proper, they were informed that Orrin wanted to meet with them the next day and had arranged for them to stay at the Paragon's Rest during their stay.

Demons of Port Valor
Upon meeting their noble patron, the Pog Champions were a bit surprised by his demeanor and his true motivations in hiring them. However, he was able to inform them of the tradition of the Bequeathing Ceremony, including Dunan Slagmeld's status as the guest of honor. However, he was unable to tell them more about the Exeter's nobility, due to his own desire to know as little about most of his peers as possible.

Once the Pog Champions became aware of the warrant that Dunan had placed on them, Ashara contacted Orrin to warn him that he may also be targeted by Dunan. Although Orrin received her warning and attempted to find a safe hiding place, Ashara and Jorah later heard from a guard that he would soon stand trial for letting such dangerous criminals into the city. According to Soruza, he was arrested and imprisoned in a relatively nice jail for his crimes, but would likely be freed when our names were cleared and would only need to pay a hefty fine for circumventing the lockdown.

Goals
Orrin would like to be invited to the yearly Bequeathing Ceremony in order to partake in the accompanying banquet. Because he also strives to avoid the people at court as much as he can, his goal is to do the minimum amount of court-related things he can while still maintaining enough favor with King Thoros to make the guest list.

Abilities
Orrin seems to just be a regular dwarven man.
