A vulgar, mercurial old dwarf blacksmith who turns every transaction into a contest and every weapon into a story.
"The economy is in shambles."
— Tholvar Cragjaw
Description
Appearance
Old dwarf. Short enough to need a stool for arm-wrestling at his own counter.
Personality
Abrasive, theatrical, and sharper than he lets on. He clocks social dynamics instantly and enjoys testing people. Beneath the vulgarity, he is a genuine craftsman who takes pride in his work and respects those who earn his attention.
Mannerisms
- Turns negotiations into personal contests and wagers
- Vulgar humor delivered with complete confidence
- Stamps and names weapons for clients he finds interesting
Role in Campaign
Introduction
The party visited Cromack Smithing during Session 01 to have Ria's battleaxe silvered. Tholvar turned the transaction into an arm-wrestling wager.
Key Moments
- Session 01 — Lost an arm-wrestling match to Ria after his elbow slipped. Honored the bet and silvered her battleaxe for 50gp. Named the weapon Hibil Nadruk (Silver Night Cleaver) and stamped it with dwarven runes (Kabeel Naldrak).
