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

Appearance

Torva Emberbrew is a stout dwarf with fiery red hair streaked with silver, always intricately braided. Her emerald-green eyes sparkle with warmth, but there's a sharp edge to her gaze. Her hands, calloused from years of brewing, often cradle a mug of her signature Forgefire Ale. She typically wears practical leather aprons over colorful tunics adorned with brewing symbols. A charm shaped like a frothy mug, a gift from a priest of Saint Molina, hangs around her neck.

Personality

Warm and welcoming to friends, Torva thrives on the energy of her tavern. She has little patience for troublemakers, and her sharp tongue can be as effective as any axe. She takes immense pride in her craft and her role in the community, treating her staff and patrons like family. Beneath her jovial exterior lies a shrewd businesswoman.

History

Torva Emberbrew hails from a long line of Ironhearth brewers. Her grandmother, a legendary brewmistress, instilled in her a deep love for the craft and a respect for tradition. Torva honed her skills in the family brewery, experimenting with new ingredients and perfecting her signature Forgefire Ale. After years of honing her craft, she opened the Emberforge Inn, a haven for weary travelers and a gathering place for the community.
