Pondolin Thornmantle
Druid 5 / Barbarian 2 (custom ragegem rules)
Pondolin Thornmantle
Species
Dwarf
Appearance
Short even by dwarf standards with a barrel chest and thick shoulders, Pondolin moves with a surprisingly fluid, lumbering grace. His torso is wrapped only by a crude belt and loin cloth woven from stripped tree bark, layered leaves and braided vines. His boots and gauntlets are made of hardened bark and sap-soaked leather; the gauntlets are studded with tiny living tendrils that twitch when he speaks. A heavy red gem is woven into a leather thong at his neck and echoed into matching settings on his gauntlets and belt. His beard is mossy and threaded with tiny blossoms in season. He smells faintly of loam and pine. Unexpectedly, he wears a polished brass ring on his left thumb that glints like a city-born keepsake, a reminder of Ironsgate.
“Gravelly, singsong cadence when telling tales, blunt and low when angry.”

Three matching red gems set into necklace, gauntlets, and belt

Bark-scarred skin on forearms as if fused with tree bark
Voice
“Low, earthy, with the rasp of leaves underfoot; he often ends sentences with a soft, almost inaudible hum.”
Clothing
Minimal druidic garb: belt and loin cloth of bark, leaf-woven sash, vine-wrapped boots and gauntlets, leather thong with red gem necklace, brass thumb ring
Body Language
Slow, deliberate gestures with hands that spread like roots. When excited he leans forward and his fingers flex into claw-like grips. In anger his shoulders bunch and his voice lowers to a rolling rumble.
