'''Doric''' is a dwarf that lives in a [[Doric's Hut|small hut]] north of [[Falador]] and directly east of the [[Taverley]] gate. He plays a central part in [[What's Mine is Yours]], which revolves around players obtaining several ores for him and helping his struggling business. He also plays a minor role in the [[Devious Minds]] [[quest]]. His hut contains an [[anvil|anvil, furnace]] and a [[whetstone]] on the ground level, and an underground area with another furnace and anvils which can only be used after completing [[What's Mine is Yours]].

Around 140, Doric moved from the dwarven capital city of [[Keldagrim]] to his current residence north of Falador. In the winter of 164, a [[H.A.M. Speaker]] convinced a number of local farmers to burn Doric's home, as seen in the novel ''[[Betrayal at Falador]]''.{{CiteNews |author=Jagex |url= http://news.runescape.com/newsitem.ws?id=1300|title=Jagex Store and RuneScape Novel |newsdate=9 July 2008 |notes= |date=22:47, September 25, 2011 (UTC) |name= }} He went on to become a key figure in the [[War of 164]], and fought in the [[Battle of the Monastery]], the [[Siege of Falador]], and the [[Battle of the Glacier]].

Doric's anvils are the closest to the [[Dwarven mine]] and furnace at [[Falador]]. He has a [[steel pickaxe]] on his back. He is the self-proclaimed best maker of [[pickaxe]]s in [[Gielinor]], but he has a running order with [[Nurmof]] and will not sell the player any.

Doric maintains a small [[wheat]] garden north of his hut. Occasionally, the [[Puro-Puro]] portal will open there, resulting in a crop circle.

== History ==
===Early life and re-location===
Doric's early history and exact age remain unknown. In Year 164, he is known to have claimed himself to be more than 100 years old, meaning that he was born in Year 63 of the Fifth Age at the latest. Doric was evidently born in the dwarven capital city of Keldagrim some time prior to its existence being made common knowledge to [[human]]s. Doric, like most dwarves, was raised a follower of [[Guthix]], although by the modern day his actual practice of the Guthixian religion has become fairly loose.

Doric, during his time in Keldagrim, visited the city's vast mining network on a number of occasions, suggesting he may have been involved in the city's mining or [[Dwarven Black Guard|military]] activities. In Keldagrim he was trained to become exceptionally skilled in hand-to-hand combat, his preferred weapon being a [[battleaxe]]. In the mines, Doric is known to have fought a number of dangerous foes, which would later harden his nerves and improve his effectiveness in combat.

In approximately 140, Doric left Keldagrim for unknown reasons, opting to take up permanent residence in the wooded region north of Falador, on the fringe of [[Asgarnia]]. Although this placed him near the [[Ice Mountain Dwarven Colony]] and the [[Dwarven Mines]], Doric usually avoided most contact with his nearby kinsmen. Doric constructed a cabin of logs south of the [[Goblin Village]], and largely became sulf-sufficient. To keep himself supplied, Doric raised a number of [[mountain goat]]s, although he was occasionally forced to trade with nearby settlements and farmers.

By all accounts, Doric was fairly friendly with most of his neighbors, and maintained healthy relationships with most of them. [[Kinshra]] raids, such as those led by [[Lord Sulla|Commander Sulla]] in 155, tended to focus on more easterly settlements, and the threat of the Kinshra never was a cause for extreme worry on Doric's part. As the years progressed, however, small settlements and farms tended to move further west, crowding Doric and causing him to become slightly more hostile to some of his neighbors. Although most were willing to tolerate this change, a handful did bear Doric some resentment.

Doric was married at one point, until his wife left him and Boric. Doric was then forced to raised Boric on his own.

=== The War of 164 ===
In 164, when humans were being attacked by the werewolf [[Jerrod]], a group of men suspected Doric and robbed his house of gems and his livestock and burned his hut down. Theodore found Doric getting his secret stash of [[Adamantite bars]] from the ruins of his hut. Doric accompanied Theodore to get justice from the [[Falador]] [[White Knight]]. There, Doric identified [[Kara-Meir]]'s sword as one made of [[Adamant bar|Adamant]].

==Tasks==
{{Main|Doric and Boric tasks}}
After the quest [[What's Mine is Yours]] has been completed, the player may complete a number of '''members only''' tasks for Doric.

==Trivia==
*Doric is a dialect spoken in the northeast of Scotland.
*A [[Wolfbane]] can be found on Doric's workbench. This is likely related to the RuneScape novel "[[Return to Canifis]]."
*His favorite colour is blue.
