In a town like this, knowing the right people makes all the difference. It’s not just about selling gear; it’s about weaving a network that holds us all together when times get tough.
Appearance
Albree Ironfoot is a figure of resilience and determination. Her robust build and weathered yet kind face reflect her adventurous past. Her hair, sprinkled with silver strands, is usually pulled back for practicality.

Her attire, a practical mix of leather and cloth, echoes her adventurous spirit and always features the symbol of her craft.
