My wife and I will be starting in a new LFR game in about 3 weeks and I had some questions.
Other than 100 gp starting, method 2 point-buy, and options to make the character, is there anything I need to know about LFR? It feels like I'm missing something! I've got my character statted and equipped (tentatively planned to 30 even) but I don't know what else to do with him.
I'm planning on playing a dwarven paladin of Kelemvor from Aglarond who's family was turned to ghouls by spilled over Thayan undead and he subsequently had to put them to final rest after his wife came back and ate their kids while he was away.
What sort of information do I need to include to make this work in the world?
He's a multiclass bard because he was a dwarven Chanter (or something singing related) and he was away doing his music thing when the badness went down.
I was planning on him getting extremely drunk at least on the day of their death each year in honor. I'm not good with the days of the years, but was wanting it to be on a day typically reserved for joyous celebration. Whats a good festival day for dwarves?
Other than Bruenor what are some good shield dwarf names, and surnames / clans?
Other traits would be typical dwarven dourness and a little atypical moodiness, but also a compassionate side for those who had lost family members before their time.

My wife is playing a deva avenger of Amanautor. How do you pronounce Amanautor?!
I'll probably have more questions as they come up. Any help is appreciated.
For added fun, if you would like, here are the names I had in mind:
Casabem MacInett
and
Cait’Ming-Ce'lia
They're both related anagrams of 4-word sentences.
What sort of information do I need to include to make this work in the world?
-Information about Aglarond, mainly, which can be found in most detail in Unapproachable East and Spellbound, primarily.
Whats a good festival day for dwarves?
-Being that they are very clannish, perhaps the birthday of an ancient clan leader, or perhaps a day in which something important happened to the clan.

-Dwarves Deep has lots of information about how Dwarves act, and includes a big list of names and surnames.

-"Uh-Mawn-a-Tor" is how I pronounce it, phonetically.
Maybe the LFR group will have them.
Thanks for the leads, but I don't own any of those books or know anyone who does. . .

Do you have a copy of the RPGA CCG (Character Creation Guide) v 1.8? If you got that and read it, you should have all the mechanics addressed. The extent of your character background is to your taste.
There are several common festival dates in the Realms which are widely celebrated, like Greengrass, Midsummer, Highharvestide. Dwarves alos have festivals like the Festival of the Forging, Night of the Thirsty Axe and the Remembering. Shieldmeet and Festival of the Moon are significant to worshippers of Kelemvor.
Randomly picked Male Shield Dwarven names? Baern, Bran, Cernd, Dobyn, Elshar, Fyrfar, hathar, Jalabar, Maegar, Morinn, Osk, Rorn, Uldred. You might have a phrase name or a nickname to go with that. Northern clans: Arnskull, Blackbanner, Bucklebar, DArkfell, Deepaxe, Foehammer, Harlagh, Rockfist, Stoneshield, Watchever, Yund. (I did not copy all that shown in Dwarves Deep.)
There is a LFR character board, if you want to ask specific LFR questions about your character.

I always pronounced it "Ah-Maw-Nat-Or". Though I guess there's not right and wrong way, lol.

Shieldmeet is always a popular time, but it's every 4 years.

I've always been a favorite of Stoneshield, Crownguard, and Steelwall.

-There is, actually. Faiths and Pantheons says it is pronounced "Ah-MAWN-Ah-Tor". That book has the pronunciations of all deities within it, a sometimes handy thin, though, half the stuff, I am sure I don't say correctly. Everyone I know pronounces Cyric 'See-Rick', while I pronounce it 'Sigh-Rick'.
I mean, he's a dutiful god of time. Like someone who monitors things. Like you know "A monitor". Ah-MAWN-a-tor.
Everyone I know pronounces Cyric 'See-Rick', while I pronounce it 'Sigh-Rick'.
That's ok. I pronounce it 'sigh-rick', too.
(Except when I'm conversing in my native language(french). Then I use 'see-rick'.)
;)
I call him Cryrick.:P
;)
Well, he and Shar are the emo gods...:P
That's ok. I pronounce it 'sigh-rick', too.
-Two's a crowd. Must mean that that's the correct way, since it's me and someone else. Me, that was pretty close all by myself, but with someone else, that put's it over the edge. ;)
