Tuktarigar
Tuktarigar, the venerable master of the Kalganov Smithy, is a figure well-known in the bustling lanes of Tatarin, Korolevia. His forge, the once-proud and now dingy Kalganov Smithy, is a glowing ember along Steelsmith Alley. Tuktarigar can be found there from dawn til dusk every day (except Sondres, when he rests at his home). The smithy stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of its owner.
In the Hearthstone Quarter, where the warmth of the Great Hearth permeates every stone, Tuktarigar’s abode is a sturdy structure of dark granite and ironwood, two blocks from the central flame that is the heart of the district. The walls of his home are adorned with the tools of his trade and the trophies of his craft—each a story of triumph over metal.
Tuktarigar himself is a dwarf of the old stock—his beard a cascade of silver, his hands gnarled like the roots of the ancient pines that speckle the tundra around his beloved city. His eyes, sharp as the finest blade, miss no detail, be it in the intricate workings of a lock or the subtle shift of a stranger’s gaze. His views are as unyielding as the anvils he works upon. Foreigners find in him a challenging critic, for he measures them by the standards of his forebears, demanding respect for tradition and skill. Craftsmanship is his creed, and he suffers no fool nor shoddy work; to him, a poorly forged blade is an affront to the very soul of his people. And then there’s ice fishing—a pastime that sees many a dwarf sit patiently by a hole in the ice, waiting for a catch. Not Tuktarigar. He scoffs at the sport, declaring it a fool’s errand, for he believes the true measure of a dwarf is found in the heat of the forge, not the cold of the ice. Above all, Tuktarigar is a proud dwarf. His pride is not born of arrogance but of a deep-seated knowledge of his worth and the value of his work. In every strike of his hammer, in every curl of smoke that rises from his forge, there is a piece of history—a legacy of the dwarven kind that he upholds with every waking moment.
