Dadtim the Younger

Among the most holy and loyal of the First Stand, first among the Children of Tragedy, and a storied hero in his own right, Dadtim the Younger was born in Gildenhome but emigrated to Tragidore as an infant with his parents. A member of the only Dwarf family in Tragidore, Dadtim spent his long childhood and adolescence as an outsider among the relatively quick-developing human population of Tragidore. Although his father was a smith and craftsman, Dadtim was solitary and quiet. There was little to read or otherwise occupy his time, and so he spent much of his time in the wild places around the village. According to the Testimonial of Dadtim the Younger, it was originally he who discovered the Black Wyrm's torpor, although it was Arek who actually wakened the beast.

After the razing of Tragidore, he was adopted by his uncle Dadtim the Elder, who attempted to raise him. He speaks nothing of their relationship in his Testimonial, although he does note that his uncle parted ways with him "in disgust and dismay." Afterward, he essentially became part of and was raised by the First Stand. In all of the orthodoxy, there is no figure more universally liked as he. There is no evidence of friction between Dadtim and any of the First Stand, and his relationship with some members - such as Kivan and Alexandria herself - was unusually close.

As he remained behind to allow the rest of the First Stand to retreat, Dadtim the Younger was the only other casualty of the Martyrdom of Alexandria.

He is the Champion of the loyal, of oaths, and of friendship. Although especially venerated by Dwarves, he is not their Champion.
