Thundershield is the surname of a family of dwarven origin from the Dwarven Lands in the Northern Continent.
Notable Members[]
- Tenrin Thundershield: Husband of Sigdi, father of Durkon. Described as "a true savant" on the subject of geology, he was a sapper serving in the dwarven army under Sigdi, whom he later married. The two had a child, though he died before his son was born, fighting a dangerous troll that had dragon's blood and defeating it by causing a cave-in with his geological skills.
- Sigdi Thundershield: Wife of Tenrin, mother of Durkon. Formerly a soldier in the dwarven army serving with the rank of Sergeant, she lost her arm in an encounter with a troll with dragon's blood shortly before Durkon's birth, the same encounter that resulted in the death of her husband. She is the eldest living member of the family.
- Durkon Thundershield: Son of Sigdi and Tenrin, father of Kudzu. A Cleric of Thor, he first followed the path of the clergy to heal his mother's arm, but was exiled by the High Priest of Thor of the time, Hurak, when he received news of a prophecy that the next time Durkon returned home he would bring death and destruction upon the Dwarven Lands. Serving as the party Cleric in the Order of the Stick, the 55-year old dwarf was killed in action at Girard's Gate while fighting the vampire Cleric Malack. His corpse was used by the vampire spirit known as the High Priest of Hel while his own spirit was trapped within. After the death of the vampire in Firmament, Durkon was resurrected and resumed his role as the Order's healer as well as taking on a personal mission on the behalf of Thor.

After Sigdi lost Tenrin in the troll encounter, she used the treasure she gained to raise from the dead five dwarves who had died dishonorably and so were slated for Hel, passing up the opportunity to resurrect her husband who had died honorably and thus would be in Valhalla. These dwarves and their families became part of the extended Thundershield family by affection. Durkon refers to them as his Aunts and Uncles, and to their children as his Cousins.
