Runya Grimbeard

Notes I've taken so far on her story/character:

Grown up underground in a small purely dwarven settlement near Rockhome
Runya is one of the youngest members of a traditional family of warriors.
Ever since the arrival of the insects her clan sends out a young member
only every few generations supposedly to watch business on the surface
for a while. The young warriors are told that it is a great honour to be
sent out but in fact the elder family members pick the most traditional
and stubbornly prejudiced youngings so they might get used to the surface
races. This is mainly done to prevent 'disputes' and misunderstandings
between surfacers and traditional dwarves which happened to be a serious
problem during the insect wars. (Nothing official I just made it up but
it sounds plausible, doesn't it?)
The news sent back by those young ones are merely a bonus. How long they
stay depends really more on how much they adopt to the surface rather
than on the news they send home. No matter how used to the surface,
still most dwarves are glad to return home soon but prove useful
'translators' - more needed for manners than languages - and
representatives when the rare communications with surfacers take place.

I have some more notes on her believes etc. but they are only sketches
and should change with time, too.
