Many months after the attack, Dur'kalak had lost faith in his abilities to defend his allies. Stepping away from adventuring, he was not heard from for weeks, until a group of adventurers cornered the black dragon Thymor'ala, which set Dur'kalak onto the path he was following now. He sprung from the nearby cinder forest, clambering atop what trees remained in an attempt to kill the beast which destroyed his home. Throwing two javelins, he missed, failing on this revenge plot. He then returned to his exile, ashamed for not being able to fell the dragon. While away, he received word that Thymor'ala was once again spotted, this time tainting land which a woman named Mother Love used to gather ingredients for her potions. Upon meeting this woman, Dur'kalak was immediately off put, and didn't trust her as far as he could throw this old woman. But he saw only red for the death of Thymor'ala, and so invaded the hoard without a second thought. It was a tough battle, but Dur'kalak managed to deal some serious damage to his foe, helping his allies kill the dragon. He gathered artifacts from the hoard which were stolen from the temple of his sun god. He felt very little joy in the moment, his sorrow did not change. He was still angry, and so sought to continue slaying these beasts as they came, but he needed to complete a small quest of his own. An atonement for his previous failures, and a showing of respect to his past and how it has changed him. | Many months after the attack, Dur'kalak had lost faith in his abilities to defend his allies.

Over the last month, Dur'kalak returned to his home village, gathering stone to build a small shrine for the artifacts he recovered, attached to the Iron Hawks guild hall. He built the shrine using the stones of village homes, mud from the hunting grounds, and a central tablet from the main chamber of the sun god's temple. He placed the artifacts upon alters and mantles. laying them out in the same manner as in the temple. He added a small holy symbol into the main alter, a winged serpent with feathers instead of flaps backlit by a sun. He dedicated this shrine to the god | Over the last month, Dur'kalak returned to his home village, gathering stone to build a small shrine for the artifacts he recovered, attached to the Iron Hawks guild hall. He built the shrine using the stones of village homes, mud from the hunting grounds, and a central tablet from the main chamber of the sun god's temple. He placed the artifacts upon alters and mantles. laying them out in the same manner as in the temple. He added a small holy symbol into the main alter, a winged serpent with feathers instead of flaps backlit by a sun. He dedicated this shrine to the god M'at'akan, the god of life and fire of the Kirak people. Upon finishing the shrine, he began to plan a place for himself there, placing an open stone cask before the main alter, and he is waiting to commission a stone lid for his eventual, and hopefully not bloody, death. Though he wants to fight as long as possible, he knows that he will die, and wants to be buried among the relics of his people, and among the halls of his new friends. | ||
