Cast-Iron Stomach: +5 racial bonus to saving throws against poison.
Dwarven Resilience: You can use your second wind as a minor action instead of a standard action.

CLASS / PARAGON PATH FEATURES
Combat Challenge: In combat, it's dangerous to ignore a fighter. Every time you attack an enemy, whether the attack hits or misses, you can choose to mark that target. The mark last until the end of your next turn. While a target is marked, it takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls for any attack that doesn't include you as a target. A creature can be subject to only one mark at a time. A new mark supersedes a mark that was already in place. In addition, whenever an enemy makred by you is adjacent to you and shifts or makes a an attack that does not include you, you can make a melee basic attack againsst that enemy as an immediate interrupt.
Combat Superiority: You gain a bonus to opportunity attacks equal to your Wisdom modifier. An enemy struck by your opportunity attack stops moving, if a move provoked the attack. If it still has actions remaining, it can use them to resume moving.
Fighter Weapon Talent: +1 bonus to attack rolls using two-handed weapons.

~ Personality ~
Kiressa is hot blooded and often acts before thinking - despite her ability to reason through most situations. She prefers to spend most of her time on the hunt, rather than going over strategies or possible situations. Usually she avoids crowded urban areas, though won't oppose going to one if it's needed. Keeping others motivation up is part of her act as well - she's long since learned that teamwork is always more effective than a single unit.

~ Mannerisms and Appearance ~
Kiressa is always ready to spring into motion at any given time. She's nearly obsessive about keeping everything ready to go at any time, and hates being parted with her belongings for any extended amount of time. She has an intense love for the changing seasons and her mood tends to reflect them although it still still sprinkled with her spicy attitude.

Kiressa's appearance is much what one might expect from someone of her intense personality. Violet eyes and hair the deep red / orange of autumn leaves, her clothing set to match that of a forest wildfire. Only during the winter is she more reserved in her dress style, preferring brilliantly cold blue and violets while covering her hair usually with a scarf or bandana.

While in battle she wears a custom painted set of hide armor, and wields two massive hammers which cross across her back when not in use. She tends to name her weapons, calling her current ones Summer Flame and Winter Moon.

~ Background ~
Kiressa was raised by trolls. She can barely remember her real mother and father, only vague images of them before they were brutally torn to shreds. The Ice Trolls of Shaddwick are the only family that she can really remember; if one could call the unique relationship she had with them a family. After slaughtering her parents, instead of killing Kiressa as the youth she had been then, they took her back with them. Childhood involved learning to survive the harsh environment of Shaddwick – the trolls cared little of her survival, only that she was excellent bait for their raids. As the years went on her existence became increasingly feral between the abuse from the trolls and watching their horrible raids on the nearby farms and towns.

Her role was well thought out, on the part of the trolls. Nothing was more distracting than a fiery elf wandering the frozen trees of Shaddwick and her presence allowed for smoother attacks and ambushes. Kiressa was not totally innocent in these attacks either; one does not simply get used for decades without learning something of their place in the world. Her feral nature and deep-seated desire to survive combined with her instinctive understanding of the world around her eventually secured her place amongst the trolls, although not a very lofty position. Eventually she began to actively scout for the trolls, working in her own way to maintain the twisted family she lived in. It was one of these scouting missions that changed her world.

For the most part anyone who had seen her did not live long enough to spread the knowledge as they were soon attacked by the trolls. Few if any survived those attacks and none who had seen her as she was quickly taught by the trolls to eliminate anyone who had previously seen her during the attacks. Most who saw her in the forest simply discounted her as chillborn and avoided her, an action she was happy to return when not scouting.

It was when she was scouting the outskirts of Tatlum that her presence was finally noted permanently. Given the large amount of resources the town usually had, Tatlum made a juicy target for the trolls but they did not attack due to the large amount of Raven Queen clerics. However, Kiressa often found herself in the area looking for a potential weakness for her clan to attack and on this particular day she was spotted by Kravin, a paladin of the Raven Queen. He kept an eye on her as she spirited around the town’s edges, and realized quickly that she was not just another chillborn from the forest. Curious, he researched what he could about her and between prayer and books he eventually linked her to the troll attacks on the outlying villages and discovered the location of her clan’s lair.

Gathering up a strike force, Kravin lead the attack against the troll clan. The fighting was fierce though in the end the numbers and tactics of those under the Raven Queen’s banner won victory in the frozen caves. During the fighting, Kiressa was rendered unconscious rather than killed by Kravin’s men as his intention was to rescue her, as he mistakenly believed that she was a prisoner of the trolls and forced to do their bidding. When she awoke she found herself imprisoned in the town of Tatlum, Kravin as her keeper.

Though panic was her first reaction, as she was aware that Kravin had killed her clan, she soon came to a more practical assessment of the situation. Her first few weeks with Kravin made her realize that he was not simply interested in her, but rather obsessed. The fascination did serve its purpose – in her decades with the trolls Kiressa had never truly learned common, as the language held very little purpose beyond a threat to those that were shortly about to die. In her captivity with Kravin, he taught her the language to the point where she could actually communicate.

She spent nearly two years with Kravin learning all the ways, terms and reasoning of a world she had been taken from initially. All of this time, however, was still spent in captivity though her cage had been expanded from a simple cube with metal bars to that of Kravin’s personal manor. While being considered a possession was not far from what she was used to, the forest and wild called to her. Over the last year with him she slowly put together an escape plan which she kicked off the night he failed to renew the wards keeping her in the manor. Fleeing from his bed in the middle of the night she took her leave of his manor and the town that surrounded it and using the knowledge he had imparted to her about the town to escape it.

Fearing to return to Shaddwick lest Kravin once more find her, she took to travelling the roads using her skills to keep alive. Curiosity of the sights and stories she had been told by Kravin, she set out to find adventure in whatever place she could. Her highly trained abilities and deadly ferocity in battle lead her to take many mercenary jobs. Over time her paranoia of being hunted by Kravin diminished and she began to take a more active part in the world around her, her favorite pastime being challenges of skill. Eventually her hunt for challenges lead her to Cardinal Haavant and the promise of lost treasures and the difficulties that often follow in the search for said treasure.

A Cardinal’s wish

A beginning.

The city of Haxirn , the grandest achievement of scholars, wizards and philosophers ,a shining beacon hidden in valley between two great mountains, created by the great minds of the time as a place to work for the betterment of all.

About 100 years ago in this grand city, however fate intervened and according to onlookers the city and its surroundings were encased in darkness that seemed to bleed from what looked like a tear in the sky. Many believe that the city and its inhabitants were punished by the gods for their arrogance and some believe it was meddling in forbidden magics that caused this disaster, what is for known for certain is the aftermath.

Haxirn was left a shattered ruin, abandoned by all and left to the ravages of time. The area was declared off limits by the governing bodies of the region. The aftermath of the event left serious repercussions for the area around it. It was said that the people of Haxirn were not just destroyed but had been changed into ghosts and wandered out of Haxirn seeking revenge on all for their horrible fate. It was decided that the area should remain sealed away and a great wall was constructed to seal in what horrors lurked in this dark place
