Azak de-Brog

Azak stands tall compared to most (other races) and towers over the occasional dwarf or elf. Very light skinned, with hues ranging from white to a light blue, he is covered in blue-green tattoos. His entire body, the base for the tattoos represents the Earth, while the tattoos are the processes within the system of nature. The tattoos are laid out in a fashion so that what starts at the head ends up unabridged at his feet. Tattoos of peaks and glacial lakes eventually give way to evergreen forests, ending with jungles and vines on the lower limbs.

Azak wears a thick white hide armor, on top of hand-made rugged clothing. He carries a simple warhammer and heavy shield, along with three throwing hammers along his belt.

Azak originates from the Nunatagg Mountains, North of the Nerath Empire. He grew up in a fairly large tribe (aKirpok Tribe) of Goliaths, that control a significant portion of the mountain range. His tribe consists of three separate castes of Goliaths, warrior, religious, and worker. The Nerath have at times tried to encroach and claim stake to the Goliath lands, but the cost was too great, for the lowly gains. The Nerath begrudgingly allowed the Goliath Tribes to continue to rule themselves, which the Goliaths viewed as a victory to their continuing superiority over anything and everything. To the Nerath, they lost quite a few minor skirmishes. To the Goliath Tribes, they enjoyed proving themselves (in their mind) the better of the two races. The small amounts of Goliath lost, we're mearly 'weeded out' by Melora. An agreement was settled upon to provide for trade, access to trade routes for Goliaths, and a pathway for Goliath fervor.

Azak spent his youth in a period of time distinct from most periods in Goliath history. Goliaths tend to antagonize one another without the interference of non-Goliaths. The encounters with the Nerath empire, lead to a greater unity among the populations within the Goliath Tribes, and the tribes themselves. This unusual harmony changed the view of many Goliaths, who began to wonder about more than the sacred tribal lands. Little is known of the forested-land directly to the North, where trade routes never venture. The Nerath Empire has only just entered the picture, along with news of Dwarves far to the East trading with another Goliath Tribe.

As part of the agreement between the Goliath Tribes and the Nerath Empire, Goliaths have been sent to join in the crusade against the wretched Dragon-kin. The Goliaths take this as an opportunity to engage a new opponent and welcome it. Azak finds himself eagerly and impatiently awaiting his first chance to prove the Goliaths to any who doubt.

Azak wears white hide armor, taken from the threatening Mangokpok Artic Bear. Azak traveled far to the North (around the dangerous lands of the Night Monarchy) to obtain the pelt, defeating one of these ferocious beasts in the process. Upon returning to his tribe, the skin taken from the bear was crafted into, hide armor presented to him by a tribe elder to serve the young warden in future endeavors. On the backside of the hide, the word 'Perseverance' has been inscribed.
