NPC:Gimli

	NPC: Gimli 'What brings you to the cold north-lands traveller?' Class: unknown This brave Dwarf is son of the great Glóin, one of the companions who travelled with Thorin Oakenshield and Bilbo Baggins to defeat the dragon Smaug and reclaim the Lonely Mountain. Descended from the line of Durin, Gimli is a stout-hearted warrior of great skill and determination. Hailing originally from Ered Luin, the Blue Mountains west of Eriador, Gimli now calls the Lonely Mountain home, and lately has travelled to Rivendell to participate in the council called by Master Elrond. A Dwarf in the presence of Elves, even in these latter days of the Third Age, is cause for much speculation and even outright wonder, for it is no secret that the races of Elves and Dwarves each have long held bitter resentment against one another. However, Gimli's steadfast loyalty in the face of unimaginable perils has allowed him to overcome the ancient bitterness and return to Imladris at his father's side.</p>
