Differences between by and the current version
The leader of[quote="Tharok Grimbellow"] A dull blade is a disgrace. A cold forge, a tragedy. But a dwarf without purpose? That’s a death worse than any frostbite. [/quote] Age: 165 Race: Dwarf Occupation: Master Forgewarden of Ironhearth ==== Physical Description ==== Tharok Grimbellow is a stout and muscular dwarf, his frame forged as much by labor as by lineage. His fiery red beard is braided with intricate metal rings, each representing a significant achievement in his craft. His hands are thick and calloused, bearing countless scars from centuries at the forge. Tharok’s piercing golden eyes seem to glow with the embers of the Great Forge, and his voice carries the weight of authority. He is always clad in a mix of sturdy leathers and ceremonial armor, with his hammer, Moltenheart, strapped across his back—a tool as much for battle as for crafting. ==== Personality ==== Tharok is pragmatic and steadfast in his beliefs, yet he possesses a surprising warmth toward those who share his passion for the forge. He is known for his sharp wit, dry humor, and a booming laugh that echoes through Ironhearth’s halls. While he values tradition deeply, Tharok is not blind to innovation, respecting those who push the boundaries of craftsmanship so long as they honor the spirit of the forge. He has little patience for idle chatter or half-measures and expects perfection not only from his apprentices but also from himself. ==== History ==== Tharok was born into the prestigious Grimbellow clan, known for producing master smiths for generations. From a young age, he displayed a prodigious talent for working metal, creating intricate pieces that rivaled even his elders. At the age of 50, he completed his Hammering Trial, forging a blade so flawless that it earned him the title of Forgewarden—an honor rarely bestowed on one so young. For decades, Tharok served as a guardian of Ironhearth’s Great Forge, defending it from invaders during the Frostfire Wars and perfecting his craft. His greatest test came when a collapse in the Forge Assembly, known for his unmatched skill's primary vent threatened to extinguish its sacred flames. Tharok, alongside a small team, ventured deep into the molten heart of the mountain to restore it, nearly losing his life in crafting and his stubborn, unyielding naturethe process. At 120, he was named Master Forgewarden, a position of immense respect and responsibility, overseeing all of Ironhearth’s smithing, mining, and engineering efforts.
