Kruzch is a small goblin woman with a long-backed, quick-moving frame and limbs that seem assembled from elbows and sharp angles. Her skin is clay green mottled with pale patches where old burns healed badly. She moves with a crouched, darting gait, but when she thinks nobody is watching, she stands perfectly straight and imitates the posture of statues from the old world. Her face is narrow, with one chipped tusk, a split lower lip, and enormous amber eyes that reflect firelight like wet coins. Her ears are pierced with bent copper wire. The unexpected contradiction is her hands: scarred, filthy, and permanently blackened at the fingertips, yet capable of delicate needlework so precise that she can repair a torn moth wing.
