Biography
Little is known of Dietrich before his arrival to the Grauwelt.

He used a ring given him by the God of the Mountains to cross the barrier between the Ærth and the Grauwelt. He and his followers settled an icy tundra that they named the Berfrost. Here, Dietrich had an immense tower built so that he could watch over all the land.

Dietrich and his people lived in peace until the Great Hund found them. He and the Great Hund did battle, but Dietrich and his army were no match for the beast. Dietrich and the survivors fled into the wilderness of the Berfrost to formulate a new plan. Dietrich was left with no choice but to turn to his ring and open a new passageway: to Hel.

Dietrich made a bargain with Hel: in exchange for the means to destroy his enemy he would pledge the allegiance of his nation to the underworld. Dietrich was then bestowed with the four Children of Hel: a sword, a cape, a helm, and a girdle, which empowered him to keep his own in battle against the Great Hund.

Dietrich was nearly successful in defeating his enemy. The two combatants traded mortal blows. Dietrich died first and was cast into Hel forever.

Dietrich's memory still lives on in the minds and hearts of his former followers, companions, and descendants.
