Sava Orlan
Species
Mountain Dwarf
Appearance
Sava is a broad-shouldered mountain dwarf with weathered bronze skin, a square face, and a silver braid thick as a rope. Her movements are deliberate and economical, each step carrying the quiet certainty of someone accustomed to rooms falling silent when she enters. Fine scars cross her left knuckles, while her right hand is unusually delicate, the fingers stained with blue archival ink. Her expression suggests carved stone until she smiles, revealing one polished gold tooth and an unexpectedly mischievous warmth. She leaves behind the impression of a fortress that has learned to listen.
“Measured and resonant, with a low musical cadence. She pauses before important nouns, giving names, laws, and promises the weight of ceremonial objects.”

Distinguishing Features
A gold tooth engraved with seven tiny clan marks.
A scar across her left knuckles from the gallery collapse that killed her brother.
A copper-threaded sleeve that faintly vibrates near unstable leyline energy.
An old iron key worn beneath her robes, though she refuses to explain what it opens.
Her silver braid is tied with a strip of blue cloth from her brother’s burial shroud.
Voice
“A deep contralto with a warm rasp, like iron dragged across polished stone. Her laughter arrives suddenly and fills a room, while her anger lowers her volume until every listener leans closer.”
Clothing
Heavy charcoal robes layered over dark mail, all woven through with fine copper wire. Her mantle bears seven subtle clan patterns, visible only when the fabric catches firelight. She wears the interlinked gold circlet of the Joined Ring and a battered leather belt carrying ink, sealing wax, chalk, and a small folding knife.
Body Language
Sava keeps her shoulders square and her hands visible, projecting calm authority. When genuinely angry, she becomes gentler, lowering her chin and smoothing one thumb over the gold tooth in her smile. When frightened, she touches the copper links sewn into her sleeve.
