Backstory
Ashley is of the ancient and proud Foehammer clan of Khaz Thorum, one of the six most powerful families in the Khaz. The great city is second only in power and wealth to the dwarven capital of the Worldspine mountains itself. Her family has a long history of mighty warriors, excellent craftsmen, and wealthy trade and business folk. She has already gained quite the reputation as a great warrior - a fierce barbarian, elite among the dwarven rank and file. However, recent events have plunged her life into chaos.

A week ago, a large dark elven incursion invaded the stronghold and killed many people, including one of her closed loved ones. She fought against the raiders valiantly, but was in the wrong place at the wrong time to help her loved one. Not long after, she were brought before the lord of the Khaz, the Duke Harnoth. He commended her on her valiant efforts in defending the city, apologized for her loss, but gave some good news. Her grandfather, Ghelryn Foehammer, an acclaimed blacksmith living in the human town of Triboar, sent a letter reporting he had survived a fire giant attack.

A group of adventurers had delivered the message, and protected the Duke and his Duchess during the dark elf attack. These same adventurers had helped save her grandfather, and were representatives of the province's coalition known as the “Lord's Accord”. The Duke had recently given them a quest, but said he would like dwarven representation on their expedition. The Duke explained how he needed you to join their mission, as the dark elves that attacked the city had stolen something very important to the dwarves - the heart of their cities forge. He was now certain that the dark elves were taking it to the fire giants, and that would mean the deaths of many dwarves if what he feared was true - that the fire giant lord Duke Zalto was rebuilding an ancient killing colossus.

The Duke asked Ashley to be his representative and join these adventurers. To help them in locating and stopping this fire giant threat - and determine how this was related to this Cult of the Dragon these adventurers were concerned about. Ashley joined the party during session 31.
