Dwarf
Appearance
Mora Thunderforger is a broad-shouldered dwarf with the compact strength of someone shaped by years of bellows, ore carts, and subterranean stairways. Her skin is the deep brown of polished walnut, dusted permanently with gray stone powder around her knuckles and jaw. Her braided hair is iron-black with bright copper strands that appear almost molten when she stands near a forge. One eye is hazel, while the other is clouded white from an old flash of leyfire, though she navigates stone corridors with unnerving confidence. Her movements are deliberate and grounded, yet when startled she becomes startlingly quick, snapping around like a sprung trap. She smells of cedar ash, hot iron, and winter mint. The unexpected contradiction is her hands: scarred, callused, and strong enough to bend a horseshoe, yet she handles injured animals and frightened children with exquisite gentleness.
“Low, measured, and resonant, with a faint rasp like a file drawn across iron. She pauses before important nouns, especially names of places, ancestors, and sacred objects.”

Distinguishing Features
A clouded white left eye veined with faint silver
Copper-colored strands braided through otherwise black hair
A thumb-sized divot in her beard caused by a molten rivet
A prayer chain made from miniature hammers, each bearing the name of a dead smith
A habit of carrying a perfectly ordinary iron spoon as her personal divining tool
Voice
“A deep contralto with a steady cadence, softened by unexpected warmth when speaking to apprentices or injured animals”
Clothing
A soot-dark linen tunic beneath layered leather and bronze forge-apron plates. Her mantle is woven from charcoal wool and stitched with copper thread in the shape of branching cracks. She wears a prayer chain of tiny hammers around her neck and a belt crowded with chalk, wedges, tongs, salves, and measuring cords.
Body Language
Mora plants both feet before speaking about serious matters and rests one hand on her maul as though feeling vibrations through the haft. When relaxed, she rolls a small metal bead across her fingers. When lying, she becomes unusually still and stops tapping her thumb against her palm.
