Aradun Thunderforge

Before the First War
Aradun was a dwarfish shaman who had traveled towards several different places in his youth. One such instance was towards Gnomeregan, where he met a young eleven year old girl called Alfreedo. During his stay there, he was constantly amazed at nearly everything he found there. Aradun would eventually meet Alfreedo's uncle and eventual war hero of Azeroth, Alfred Wittlebanger, and aid him in testing one of the first prototypes of the secret Flying Machine. Alfred would learn of several things and would begin crashing downwards as no one has ever flown one of these without dying. With Aradun's wind magic, however, he amazed every gnome nearby with powerful wind magic to safely save Alfred and the flying machine.

He would eventually become a folk hero in the four days Aradun spent there. Alfreedo would eventually shock and then buy him a small gnomish taser as a trinket to bring back home. Aradun returned home and spoke of how the gnomes utilized the elements without the aid of the elements, mentioning the fire starters and the aforementioned taser that he was given months before by his gnomish friend. As one would think, his shaman elders thought that he had lost some of his mind, and told him to meditate more with the elements. He would spend the next few years in relative quiet before the First War began.

The Second War
Aradun fought briefly in the second war against orcs, dragons, and trolls. He had a glimpse of the Lions of Lothar before continuing to fight the orcs.

Year 20, the Reign of Chaos
Aradun would receive a letter from his young friend Alfreedo in the mail. With great haste and sixteen years of absolute boredom, he went to Dalaran hoping for an adventure. There he would meet Alfreedo and Master Roden'thal.
