Thrain Stoneheart
As High King of Kuhlmgrut, he is a stout and powerful dwarf with a presence that commands respect and admiration.
Physical Description
Identifying Characteristics
His skin is weathered and tanned from a lifetime spent both under the sun and in the depths of the mountain. His gaze is steady and discerning, marked by deep-set, steel-gray eyes.
His most distinctive feature is his long, intricately braided beard that flows down to his chest. The braids are woven with gems and precious stones, each one representing a significant event or victory in Kuhlmgrut’s history. These gems catch the light in dazzling, intricate patterns, creating a subtle yet regal display of his wealth and lineage.
Thrain’s hair, a thick and graying auburn, is pulled back and braided as well, leaving his broad, battle-scarred forehead exposed—a testament to his own prowess as a warrior and leader.
He wears the Crown of the Molten Throne, a beautifully crafted piece made from mithril and embedded with ancient runes of power and protection. The crown is adorned with small, gleaming jewels of varying colors, yet it’s modest in comparison to his beard—Thrain's true pride. Around his neck, he bears an amulet shaped like a hammer and anvil, a symbol of his commitment to the craft and the dwarven deities of the forge.
Thrain’s attire is a combination of regal armor and ceremonial garments. His chest plate is forged from mithril and black iron, engraved with ancient dwarven runes that signify strength, unity, and protection. Over his armor, he wears a deep red cloak, trimmed with silver and secured by a hefty, gemstone-encrusted clasp shaped like a hammer. The cloak flows down to his feet, a symbol of his rank, but also practical, as it shields him from the chill of the mountain air.
Social
Mannerisms
Despite his noble status, Thrain is a king of the people. He is deeply invested in the welfare of Kuhlmgrut and often visits the mines and forges, speaking directly to his people and listening to their concerns. His voice is deep and resonant, carrying a sense of both authority and warmth. Known for his fairness and strategic mind, Thrain trusts his council of advisors and respects their wisdom, yet he is never one to shirk his duty.
