Biography
Exploring the Green Isle
| I got lost while exploring deep underground, almost a century ago. I've never found my way home. |
| —Burin describes how he came to the Green Isle. |
Originally from the Great Continent,[1] Burin had past experience fighting orcs. Nearly a century before the founding of Wesnoth, Burin explored deep underground and eventually became lost.[2] He maintained his course east, however, and nearly circumnavigated the globe,[1] eventually emerging above ground on the Great Isle. He built himself a house in the Broken Mountains, some distance south from the Kingdom of Stormvale, with a sign indicating his dislike of visitors.[2]
Almost a century after having gotten lost, he was discovered by Prince Haldric's refugees as they fled before the orcs through the southern pass. He explained how he had come to settle in the Broken Mountains, describing it as "nice enough". When Haldric informed him of their orcish pursuers, Burin enthusiastically offered to help, eager to fight orcs once more. With Burin's aid, Haldric killed the two orcish warlords blocking their escape through the southern pass, Tan-Schmog and Tan-NauVong.[2]
