A good brew warms more than the body—it lifts the soul. But if you think that gives you an excuse to act like a frost troll in my tavern, you’ll find yourself drinking snow outside real quick.

— Torva Emberbrew

Physical Description

Torva Emberbrew is a stout and commanding dwarf with fiery red hair streaked with silver, always tied into intricate braids that cascade down her back. Her emerald-green eyes sparkle with warmth and wisdom, but there’s a sharp edge to her gaze that reminds everyone she doesn’t tolerate nonsense. Her hands, rough and calloused from years of brewing and working near the forges, are often seen cradling a mug of her signature Forgefire Ale.

Torva typically wears practical, well-made leather aprons over colorful tunics adorned with small embroidery depicting brewing symbols and clan insignias. Around her neck, she wears a charm shaped like a frothy mug, said to have been gifted to her by a traveling priest of Saint Molina as a blessing for her craft.

Personality

Torva is warm and welcoming to friends and allies, with a hearty laugh that fills the tavern. She thrives on the energy of a bustling room and loves swapping stories with travelers and adventurers. However, she has little patience for disrespect or troublemakers, and her sharp tongue can cut as effectively as any axe.

She takes immense pride in her craft and the role her tavern plays in Ironhearth’s community. Torva has a motherly instinct toward her staff and loyal patrons, treating them like an extended family. Beneath her jovial exterior lies a shrewd businesswoman who knows the value of every pint and every word spoken within her walls.
