Species
Human
Appearance
Jorah Vance is a lean, gaunt human man whose body seems shaped by years of bracing against invisible force. His face is narrow and weathered, with sorrow-carved lines radiating from pale gray eyes. Close-cropped iron-gray hair clings to his scalp like wet wire, while his calloused fingers are permanently whitened and cracked by salt. He moves with a deliberate, tidewise sway, always planting one heel before shifting his weight, as though the floor might suddenly tilt beneath him. His expression is severe and almost corpse-still, yet his hands are astonishingly gentle when repairing cracked lenses or comforting frightened novices. The contradictory impression is unmistakable: he looks like a starving undertaker, but carries himself with the patient precision of a devoted craftsman.
“His voice is low, dry, and carefully measured, with the rasp of rope dragged over stone. He speaks in short declarative sentences and rarely raises his volume.”

Distinguishing Features
A fractured silver ring amulet fused with a strand of black seaweed that never dries.
Salt permanently embedded in the creases of his hands.
A thin line of blue luminescence beneath the skin of his left palm, caused by an old warding accident.
A tide-staff whose iron ferrule leaves faint wet footprints even on dry stone.
An unnervingly accurate ability to identify magical disturbances by sound.
Voice
“A low, weathered baritone with a faint undertone like waves heard through thick stone.”
Clothing
A heavy salt-crusted charcoal wool tunic covers boiled leather armor reinforced with thin strips of blue-green tideglass. His boots are wrapped in tarred cord, his gloves are fingerless, and a fractured ring amulet rests against his sternum. His iron-shod tide-staff is wrapped in faded red sailcloth marked with warding knots.
Body Language
Jorah stands with his tide-staff planted like a mooring post, shoulders slightly hunched against remembered pressure. He rarely turns his head when listening, preferring to angle one ear toward a sound. When angry, he becomes perfectly motionless. When genuinely afraid, he begins polishing the fractured-ring amulet with his thumb.
