 Introduction: 

 Hello, My name is Mathieu, my in-game name is Qemeh and I would like to apply for the faction leader of Nogrod (Fire Beards), Naldri. I have played as multiple roles before on The Second Age Server, roles like Mel  â   kiv Lord of Gazaz-Azunr of the Blue Mountains, so I have quite some lore experience and I had some trouble with the law on the Second Age server. Being salt and toxic towards other players was the main reason. I say was because while playing on that server I've learned a lot and I am trying to better myself into a person with less toxicity and salt. My character is going to be a custom character because then I can make my really own character and make my own choices.

 ''' Why this character? ''' I would like to apply for this character because I really like being a dwarf. My friends and I joined the Blue Mountains but we didn’t have a faction leader yet, so our idea was that I could be the faction leader. “Why the Blue Mountains and not a different Dwarven faction?”,  I like the blue mountains because it's closer to Beleriand. Because of this I can be involved with a lot of other players. Instead of being a lone group of dwarves somewhere in the east.



  Naldri’s origin story: 

  ​  Naldri , grandson of Torrak    , was born in the year FA 303. His father was a warrior in the army of the blue dwarves, a great one. His father’s name was very famous in the city of Nogrod because of his skills in fighting. Naldri  always wanted to follow his father in the path of fighting when he was a young child, but when he grew older he knew fighting was not a very pleasant way for a living. So he decided to go more into the business of ores in his life instead of following his father’s job. He was very successful and brought up good ideas for the economy in Nogrod, and over time he became more and more important for the dwarven city. Because he became more important in the ancient dwarven city, some evil spies and assassins were sent by Morgoth and tried to kill him to disrupt the trade between dwarves and elves. For that was one of Naldri  ’s traits. If not for Fatbur he would have perished and be slain and left in the gutter. This inspired Naldri  to take up arms and learn to defend himself. He was wealthy and could afford great warriors to learn him the art of war and the best smiths to make him a strong set of armour. Sadly, years later. Naldri  finally got news of his father, he and his battalion of dwarves were ambushed and annihilated. Save for one soul, his father's squire. And with him he brought his father's Warhammer, a family heirloom. Naldri  was heartbroken by the news and swore to get revenge. For every dwarf that was slain that day, Naldri  would singlehandedly kill a tenfold of orcs. For many years, Naldri  ’s power grew, he became a great warrior wielding his father's warhammer. But not only on the battlefield he would show his might. For in the city of Nogrod his power and influence grew to thrice the size it was in the year his father was slain. He became an advisor to the lord. For he knew how to rule in wartime and in peace. One day,   when the dwarven lord and his only son set out with a small hunting party for it was the princess birthday and he would be of the ripe age to hunt his first boar. Sadly enough for the prince he got attacked by a pack of mountain lions while hunting. The young prince didn’t survive. And while mourning the death of the prince, a spy of Morgoth was send to kill the king. It was a man, someone of the race of man was fighting for Morgoth and killed the lord. What made Mel  â   kiv the only throne successor left. So he did the right thing to do and claimed the throne of Nogrod.
