Rydar's Backstory

Rydar Smith was orphaned at a very young age. He was adopted by a cheerful group of dwarven craftsmen. He learned how to weaponsmith and fight from them. When he got to adulthood, he decided to make his own way in the world, and reluctantly left his family of dwarves. He met a fellow adventurer, an elven woman named Mara. He married her less than a year later, and they had a beautiful daughter. However, tragically, Mara died not long after their daughter, Arathea, was born. Rydar was heartbroken, but he soon recovered, realizing he had to take care of Arathea. She was his only consolation and the apple of his eye, they were best friends. However, a couple of years ago, when she was about nine, Arathea went missing. Rydar went searching for her for nearly a year, and when he couldn't find her he returned home to his shop. He never gave up hope of finding her though, and still will randomly go searching for her whenever he thinks he's heard of something that might lead to a hint of her.
