Tournament Rank:
DacWhirter is a 9th ranked WarMaster and veteran of 20 All-World's tournaments. He has at times qualified and made it to the final rounds the unlimited class tourneys. These inconsistent showings in tournament play have raised the question if there might not be more than one dwarf baring the name of DacWhirter Ironfist.
Information:
Sometimes known as the Warmaster of Kron. Member of the Band of the Crescent Moon. DacWhirter hales from the Kron hills in the Kingdom of Coormeer to the east of Ivaneth. This hardy dwarf has taken part in a great deal of the lore of Titaan. He has been rumored dead several times only to reappear summers later as though nothing had happened. Through what magic he accomplishes this is still unknown. There are those who theorize that he is an agent of Moradin, who favors him with renewed life after sacrificing himself in the cause of protecting life in the Ring Realms. If this is the case, DacWhirter has never favored anyone with his secret. Measuring 16 hands tall and weighing over 22 stone DacWhirter is one of the biggest dwarves recorded in the realms.

Karlin-Falor, Terra | 
Name:
Karlin-Falor, Terra
Aliases:
Queen Baerwin Karlin of House Malad
Inspired by:
Will Greenway
Appears in:
Shaladen Chronicles: A Knot In Time, Shaladen Chronicles: Anvil of Sorrow, Shaladen Chronicles: Who Mourns The Creator, Gaea's Legacy
Occupation:
Professional Adventurer, Philanthropist
Birthplace:
Malad-haar of Elysium
Hair:
Dark Brown (*varies)
Height:
6'1" (9' 8") *varies
Weight:
165 (3750) *varies
Unusual Features:
The lean pantherish physique that so many have come to recognize and appreciate is not Terra's true or original form. Terra is not human, but a member of a race of magical creatures known as Sphinx-kind. Terra herself is noble of their kind, with magic and powers considerably stronger than those of "lesser sphinxes". Spinxes are known through the realms as the riddle-masters and guardians. They often portray themselves as half-humanoid/half-beast in order to strike fear into creatures that would disturb the treasures they are often contracted to guard. Terra, like most of her kind is a powerful shape-changer and can permanently take any form she chooses. Her natural form, that of a huge albino feline somewhat resembling a tiger has only been seen by her husband Tal and a few close friends. Members of Sphinx kind are extremely long lived, with lifespans measuring in millennia. Now that Terra wields the Shaladen Jemfire, she no longer ages at all.
Martial Status:
Married (Talorin "Tal" Falor)
Known Relatives:
Jhiria (daughter from previous mate), Mhaeden (son from a previous mate), Jhahlon Malad (Mate) [deceased]
Group Affiliations:
Band of the Crescent Moon, Scarlet Talons, All-worlds Tournament, Protectorate
Magical Skills:
As a lore-wise member of the sphinx race, Terra has a sage's understanding of magic and magical phenomena. She possesses a number of innate magical talents for recognizing and seeing through magical auras and glamours. She wields a large number of minor utility magics that she can cast at will without concentration. She is, as earlier noted, a master shape-changer. She however, does not often make large changes in her appearance. Terra possesses a number of psionic talents that include healing and telepathic communication.
Tournament Rank:
Terra is an unlimited class warrior and extremely formidable when provoked. However, she is not particularly interested in the notoriety of holding a top rank so consequently she has never really pushed to achieve her full potential. Terra has placed in the top ten in 13th and 14th circle challenges. She has never made it past the round of 16 in the double elimination of the unlimited class.
Information:
Born with the name Baerwin, Terra was something of a rogue and a wanderer her entire life. As a member of Sphinx-kind she was sworn into a guardian contract when still young. She completed that duty after a hundred cycles and was free to wander the planes. She took a mate (Jhalon Malad) who was a member of one of the highest houses of Sphinx nobility. After a few decades she bore him a son and daughter, who she brought up as somewhat rebellious youth of their kind. Some century later, Jhalon died in the completion of guardian contract. Her children grown, and not particularly popular with the royal family, Terra returned to wandering the planes. In her many jaunts through the inner spheres and courts of the pantheon lords, she became aware of the group of magicians that called themselves the Dream Merchants. This powerful coven of wizards were the purveyors of "desire" able to make wishes into reality (or so they claimed) as long as the recipient had sufficient gold. She was so fascinated by their operation that she set about getting a position working for them.
The Dream Merchants were more than willing to sign on a plane-savvy member of the Sphinx race. She was quickly assigned a guardian and advisor for negotiations. For many cycles, Terra was satisfied to visit the worlds and places where the dream merchants did commerse. She, and this was her main goal, spent time learning secrets of the merchant's powerful magics. It was through the dream merchants that Terra learned of the Kriar and the huge legacy of artifacts that their race had left untenanted in Realms. The Protectorate war had killed the first wave of Kriar that had been exploring the realms. After their loss at the hands of the Eternals and the rogue Garfang, the system of Kriar time portals and dimensional gateways were left unguarded and open to abuse by any who had the magic and ingenuity to missuse them.
Terra set out to learn how to utilize these ancient artifacts, and after many decades was using them to jaunt all across the Ring Realms. It was during this period of time that Terra became aware that she was not the only one taking advantage of these ancient relics. An evil wizard named Meridian Arcturus, was using them to transport men and supplies to outposts throughout the realms. He was building fortifications above many of the gateway access portals and gaining immense power. Not particularly wanting to share, she began a campaign to limit and control the use of the Kriar gate technology. She discovered a way to activate the gate guardians and then set about the process of going from world to world through the realms locking down the gates to prevent the further spread of Meridian's Death Spectacles.
Terra had been taking a rest from her long campaign of locking the gates when she came into contact the Band of the Crescent Moon. When she learned of their current quest to assemble the amulet of Tarkimaar and challenge the timelord Hellzan she decided to help.
Never knowing that she was not human, the band accepted Terra as they did many of their other fellows, with open arms and comradery. She became close friends with Algernon, T'Gor, Beia and Damrosil. T'Gor and Beia, she learned, she had something in common with, they too were fighting Meridian.
This being her first time to have a relatively close relationship with people, Terra stayed in contact with the band after the successful completion of their battle and subsequent defeat of Hellzan.
She would later assist Damrosil in some of her quests to undermine the dream merchants (Terra's former employer). Through Damrosil, Terra would eventually meet Tal Falor. The burly warrior took a shine to her, and began a campaign to court her attentions. It was never really in question, but being cattish, she drew it out as long as possible... Her final test was to reveal to him her true nature. Instead of being run off, Tal accepted that she was not human. At her behest they decided to be trial partners for a few cycles to see how it worked out. After five cycles they were married. Tal and Terra have been steadfast partners ever since.

When in her "high" or augmented state, Tiernia becomes larger and has a denser body mass. At one point in her life, Tiernia had gems enfleshed in her body known as matrix stones.

In return for the sword, the Eternals gave her the ability to shape change at will.
