Toklas Blunthammer

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Black sheep of Blunthammer family, Toklas quickly found no aptitude for metal crafts. Tired of sweeping up scraps in his family workshop, Toklas eschewed a typical life of a dwarven smith and instead set out on his own at just 50 years old. Over the next few decades he tried his hand at a variety of jobs, though usually without much success or enjoyment. He passed his days in quiet mediocrity - working away his days and drinking away his nights.
On his 112th birthday Toklas was fired from his job as a bartender for his habitual incompetence, namely showing up late, dropping drinks, and taking an uncomfortably long time to shake hands. After being kicked out of the same bar a week later at the tail end of a drunken bender, Toklas stumbled his way through town before blacking out in the garden of the local temple of Chauntea.
That night, Toklas found his faith in what he calls “The Dream of the Ancient Wild” - a story which changes with every telling. Whether by happenstance or divine inspiration, Toklas discovered a talent for agriculture as soon as he converted.
Having re-kindled his relationship with his family, Toklas trades frequently with the dwarvern nations.
