Appearance

A broad-shouldered hill dwarf with a copper-brown beard braided into three short cords, thick brows, and a square jaw that shows a row of unusually flat, polished teeth whenever he eats or laughs. His voice begins with a quiet throat-clear and a measured pause, as if he is testing each word before letting it out. He wears well-kept leather armor beneath a soot-dark smith's apron, with an iron ring set with a tiny piece of black glass on his right hand. His hands are callused from metalwork, but the fingertips are stained with violet ink from pact inscriptions.

Mannerisms

Before speaking, he clears his throat once and pauses. He taps metal objects with a fingernail to judge their quality, counts under his breath while working, and bares his broad, polished teeth in a surprisingly gentle grin when amused.

Personality

Drok is deliberate, practical, and quietly warm. He listens longer than most people expect, then offers a blunt answer that is usually more considerate than it first sounds. He treats promises like rivets, small but essential, and prefers useful work to grand speeches.

Ideals

Creation. Anything worth doing is worth making carefully. A life, a blade, or a spell should bear the mark of the one who shaped it.

Bonds

The Vardze forge and its guild charter are his family's inheritance, and he will risk much to protect them from debt, corruption, or disgrace.

Flaws

He cannot resist correcting poor workmanship, even when doing so insults someone with a weapon in hand. He also believes every bargain has a hidden price, including the bargain that gave him his magic, yet he keeps accepting the Furnace Below's gifts.

Quirks

Keeps failed spell components in labeled metal tins as reminders of lessons learned.
Names each repaired tool and apologizes to it before putting it back on the bench.
Collects fragments of black glass, but never admits why.
Sleeps with one hand closed around his smith's hammer.

Background

Drok Vardze was born above his family's forge in a hill dwarf market town where every household had a hinge, buckle, blade, or cooking pot bearing the Vardze mark. He was strong enough to work iron but too patient to enjoy the noise of the hammer. Instead, he became fascinated by the small things that made crafted objects seem alive, the warmth held by a stove stone, the balance of a knife, the way a well-made lock appeared to anticipate the hand that opened it. His guild considered him a promising smith until he began experimenting with inscriptions copied from a sealed coffer found beneath an abandoned shrine.
