Personal history

Born as the first grandchild of Thoradin Giantsbane, Thyme or well at the time Thora, was a child who'd grow up to have it all. Growing up in the great Citadel Adbar meant that she would grow up around warriors and grow into one herself. Although loved, similar to her grandfather Thora tended to have a rebellious streak which often resulted in her quarreling with her younger cousin Thurmor who tended to be slightly jealous of Thora and everything she would get away with.

On an excursion out in the open fields away from the Citadel, Thora on a faithful day would get to meet Juniper Bramble. Thora was never one for love, the romance of it all wasn't something she grew up with something that changed due to this meeting. While fighting off the attack of a fire giant and getting wounded together, Thora in the most dwarf like way felt sparks fly between her and the lovely wizard before her. However, Thora's hand was already promised to another.

Thora had already been furious and angry at her hand being so easily given away to a fine dwarven lord in Mithril Hall but meeting someone who made her heart beat so furociously, made her cheeks heat up so quickly only solidified her anger and rebellion regarding the promise. She would secretly write love letters, send them all the way to Goldenfield and respond to any that she got back.

However her marriage was finite, and although her heart was saddened, Thora decided that duty had to be done something she did begrudingly while not making it any easy for the people around her. This marriage however wouldn't even be able to make it to the vows, as her cousin Thurmor would come forward with the letters he found between Thora and Juniper, her secret love affair out in the open.

Everything would come crashing down, her grandfather angry, her family upset and ashamed. And during all the emotions and rage, Thora Giantsbane would be no more. Stripped of her name, rank and title, Thora would be no one. A stranger without a name. She would travel back to Adbar where she'd remain for a small bit, however the whispers within the citadel would proof to much. She sends out a letter to Juniper in Goldenfields, informing her of the situation and that next dawn she will go down the mountain and travel towards her hometown.

Ashamed and lost, Thora makes her way to Goldenfields where she would reunite with Juniper for the first time since the fire giant attack. The two would bond, grow even closer. And overtime this now unnamed shield dwarf from Citadel Adbar would gain the name Thyme Bramble.

Goldenfields is peaceful, it is lovely and has everything Thyme holds dear. Well, not everything. Thyme would often at times longingly look into the distance, believing that if she looks hard enough she could get a glimpse of a mountain, a mountain she longs to return to. She loves being Thyme Bramble, but truly she desires to be Thora Giantsbane once more.
