"Greetings, lords, my name is Orric, I am part of a fledgling brotherhood of Dwarves. We hail from a hall in Eagle's Watch, atop Mount Veshka. It is at this mountain, the highest northern point in the nation of Brevoy, that we have toiled to coax rare reagents from the hardy shrubbery and rocks near the mountain's peak. I have fought the creatures who inhabit the airless slopes of Mount Veshka, cracking skulls with my trusty warhammer just as I crack open rocks and the like to access the ores and stranger components within. The strength of dwarven ales is a fact known across all Golarion, however, I seek a stronger and purer blend of malt, hops, and clear mountain spring water, perhaps augmented with certain reagents I have found in my travels, to create a truly unique, and indisputably superior brew. I have left my brethren upon hearing of your exploits to the south. I simply cannot stand idly by whilst history is made, and new, perhaps reagent-rich regions are uncovered! As such, I hope to offer you, lords of the Southern Kingdom, my abilities as both a cunning, resourceful combatant, and also as a brewmaster of some repute and ingenuity. Should you deign to take me on as a retainer, lords, I should be truly grateful."
Orric is a naturally hardy dwarf, ready to jump into the melee should his aid be required, but equally happy to sit back and lob powerful explosives. In terms of his pitch towards the nation-builders, he hopes to offer them the opportunity of producing a superior batch of ales using his skills, in the hope that they may be exported to surrounding kingdoms, thus creating another form of cashflow to the fledgling kingdom. With time, Orric hopes his scheme, indeed, his passion, will be indulged by the lords Clovis, Evan and Quorra, perhaps with the eventual construction of a dual-purpose brewery-temple to Cayden Cailean the drunken god. Orric considers the construction of such an edifice to be truly the mark of a kingdom on its way to mastery of the surrounding environment, not to mention the potential tourism and export funds that his brewery-monastery would be likely to attract.
