Queen Palay Dawi
Queen Palay Dawi
"I find the dwarf queen to be a delight to work with. This is a bit surprising to me, considering how many times I've used her kingdom as an anvil to chase a Greenskin incursion into for total destruction.
"She is a shrewd negotiator and a noble soul."
~Margrave Arronax Skinner, Elector of Cambreath

Personal history
Raised as a master runesmith in Clan Dawi, Palay made a name for herself by inventing two new runes, a feat unmatched in living memory. The invented the runes Tog and Rin, which bind nuances of fire and smoke that are still being studied by runesmiths for their full potential.
This inventive curiosity has served her well for her entire life as a craftsman, and it served her equally well in the politicking of Clan Dawi. When her predecessor, King Winfred, died, the traditional scramble for favor erupted with the usual vigor. She moved among the politicians almost untouched by the fray, turning them against each other with skill until she was the unquestioned victor. The fires she started all those years ago still flare up every now and then, but she has proven adept at redirecting the rage into productive ends.
