The Dandyhats: Dothurum Fancyhats

Dothurum is a noble from a minor house who joined the entourage of the dwarf lord Archibrum because his wife made him. Actually, word in the citadel is that when his wife forced him to enter the caravan of the lord, the lord was utterly impressed: the fierce way she physically dominated her man was the most striking demonstration of power the lord had ever seen. So he proposed she came on the trip instead. Her answer was even more impressive as a show of power. The swearing  and blasphemous words coming out of her mouth were baffling. What a magical way of cursing she had!

The Fancyhats clan descends from a long line of hat makers. While everyone in his clan has dedicated their lives to the family business, Dothurum has only been dedicated to wearing the hats and spending the family money. Tired of being married to the laughing stock of the family, his wife sent him on the expedition, but not before packing some of their best hats for him (not the best of the best, though – because you mustn't outhat the dwarf lord!). "Bring glory, or don't bother to come back" were the last words she said to him before closing the door of the cart... She then ran behind the cart crying out loud how much she loved him. But it was too late: he was already throwing up from motion sickness and couldn't hear anything else. And thus his journey began.
