Grumwell is the third son of Jon Quirrelmyn (called Great Jon, because of his large size), brother of Flaumen Quirrelmyn the 3rd, hereditary Riverdan lord of Bluewhal Keep. Grumwell was born into a family of warriors with an ancient history that once were closely allied to the founders of Dunstrand.
Much time has passed and the Quirrelmyn family line has survived to see themselves and the other ‘Riverdan’ lords relegated to a backwater when the course of the river changed, cut out from trade and control of the Nanford river. He has inherited the hatred of and sense of persecution by the rest of Dusntrand that his relatives has raised him with. Only the county of Bar-Innis (a land of moors, swamp and bogs mostly) to the west is favored – part of the ‘old nobility’ of Dunstrand that has survived proud. Grumwell has spent much time in the moldering library of his ancient family estate of Hammerang Keep – once a summer ‘castle’, now only part is maintained for stables and hunting while the rest falls apart around it.
It was there that he taught himself the rudiments of magic from a young age. He discovered ancient drawings of the floor plans in the library cellar and found passages and rooms long abandoned deep in the cellars and storehouses under the keep. He read about heralds and courtiers that practiced the magic arts and even recovered some items from dark underground rooms where the air was thin and it was difficult to breathe – and the cold of the grave was upon him. After swooning under visions of evil spirits, he awoke to a swarm of rats covering him; he was able to keep down the tide of overwhelming fear and stagger to his feet. He fled and his parents believed him attacked by a horde of rats, sealed upt he tunnels under the keep and forbid him to return. At home, several traveling scholars and mages that sometimes stop in passage through the lands have augmented his knowledge and spurred him on his development of magical ability. He has his fathers large size, and there were high hopes for him by his family to enter the military, but his interests lied elsewhere. He is a minor disappointment to many of his relatives, but his mother has secretly fostered his interests, supporting him where she could with gifts and distracting his father. Running low on patience, his father sends him to Dunstrand City with a letter of recommendation and tells him to make his own way. Packing his gear, he sets off. His mother ensures he has plenty of money and even hires a servant to assist him in getting to his destination. Grumwell arrives in Dunstrand City – the biggest he’s ever seen. He immediately presents himself to the Herald’s Hall in the Duke’s court. They look at his warrior body and his supposed credentials and Grumwell can see the rejection in their eyes, though they ask him to register. Only 2 days later (9142, Month 4, Day 27), he gets word from a man named sira Goll that he has need of his talents and wishes him to travel back to the Riverdans for a research project with someone who know Dunstrands, the Riverdan territories, and can read and write well. Goll says that he will need protection… because there are certain people who may not want this research done. He has arranged a protective detail of two to go with Grumwell.
