In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Obmi, sometimes called Lord Obmi, is a murderous mountain dwarven fighter and member of Iuz's Boneshadow. Originally from the Crystalmists, he is known as "the Hammer of Iuz" due to his use of the dwarven throwing hammer, and "Obmi the Wily" for his cunning. Obmi has iron grey hair, has a taciturn personality, and delights in playing power games.

He is sometimes accompanied by a deranged grey elf fighter/ mage named Keak and a gnomish illusionist/ rogue named Gleed.

Obmi appears in the Gord the Rogue novels as an enemy of Gord, Leda, and Eclavdra.

[edit] History

Obmi's early history is unknown. He is known to have been a slave of the fire giant king, Snurre Ironbelly of the Hellfurnaces from 546-551 CY. By 551 CY, Obmi had proven his worth as an advisor, and served King Snurre for the next twenty-five years in that role.

In 576 CY, Snurre's hall was raided by adventurers. Obmi escaped by masquerading as a dwarven prince. Shortly after his escape, Obmi joined the service of Iuz.
