Brannoc Cwrt is a broad-shouldered Tectonic Forged built from heavy black basalt whose surface carries fine copper veining like dried riverbeds. His copper-wound joints click softly whenever he turns, and amber Star-Sand burns behind a thick lead-glass grate in his chest. The glow brightens when he is angry, then dims by deliberate degrees as if he is forcing himself to remain impartial. His jaw is a squared stone block fitted with six visible brass restraint-teeth, each stamped with a different magistrate's seal. When he eats, which he does only for ceremony, he crushes mineral wafers between those teeth with a sound like small stones breaking under a wheel. He smells of hot iron, dust, lamp oil, and faint bitter cinnamon from the calibration resin used in his joints. Despite his intimidating weight, he moves with measured gentleness, placing each foot as carefully as a dancer, and he keeps one polished basalt hand folded behind his back during court proceedings.
