As painted by Artisan [[Cinen]], 399 AV. |

Kraggur is known for his deeply-set grey eyes, the storm within often cleared by his hearty laugh. His open face is yet unlined by the hardship or years he has lived, although a great portion of it is covered by his long beard. A tribal tattoo of a golden hawk, wings spread wide, stretches across the potion of his face not covered by his beard. Thick golden brown hair covers his head and is kept tied back and away from his eyes. Long years spent working have toned his body to a burly build not often seen on a mage. |

:With laugh lines creasing his square-jawed face and deep-set stormy grey eyes showing a strange intensity, the Dwarf stands tall next to an iron gate, a petite grey-green katydid on his shoulder. A mining belt circles his chain hauberk, while thick-soled mountain boots shod his feet, indicating that the Dwarf is ready for both a hard day's work and a hard day's fight. The Himineldar Shel mountains rise in the background, their ice-covered peaks reflecting the sunset in a dazzling display of fire and ice. |

===Notable Items=== |

;a pale moonsilk robe with a silver and sunstone belt-clasp |
|||
:The pale blue material is woven of stone-washed raw silk, creating a heavy fabric with a lush sheen. Darkened bracers feature images of Xibar in various phases and hold the robe firmly to the forearm when worn. Dulled silver ravens and copper wolves edge the hem of the garment. The highly polished silver belt-clasp forms the shape of a mountain, with a raven whose wings are outspread. The raven clasps a sunstone scroll with writing upon it. |

:A pale moonsilk robe reads: "Kraggur Kveldcharn, Nenavskan" |

;a long carving knife etched with lunar symbols |
|||
:The stars of Kertigen's constellation, the Raven, are etched onto one side of the blade. Opposite the stars are a series of animals following a trail of runes, all set in copper. Raven wings sweep up from the hilt to form a hand guard, while the feet clasp a sunstone scroll. |
|||
====The Gems of the Dwarven-Holds==== |
|||
The Silfarshal's held a cache of rare gems from the Dwarven Holds. The chief gem was a zenith spinel drawn from a deep mine in the [[Gemfire Mountains]]. It was set into a brooch with Kertigen's Raven opposite the "K" of the Kveldcharns. A skinning knife was set with the Vela'tohr Tourmaline from the family's ancient homeland of [[Kwarlog]] in the [[Arncharn Shel]]. Third was a phantom sapphire, drawn from the [[Himineldar Shel]] where [[Hibarnhvidar]] lies. It was set into a cunning device which allowed it to be changed into various forms of jewelry. Fourth was a circlet, worn by the Lord of the Silfarshal, set with a mystic topaz, drawn from the far reaches of the old Kingdom of [[Rendstaan]], from the Monks who reside in the [[Lesser Fist]]. |
|||
;a long-bladed skinning knife set with a [[Tourmaline#Vela'tohr_Tourmaline|vela'tohr tourmaline]] attached to the base of the hilt |
|||
:Nomadic symbols of dancing creatures from myth and legend are etched into the polished blade. The bone handle curves slightly, ending with a perfectly faceted blossom-shaped stone which generates a marvelous inner fire in verdant green hues. |
|||
;a grey diamond icesilk cloak clasped with a [[Spinel#zenith spinel|zenith spinel]] brooch |
|||
:Reminiscent of the harsh, wintry hues of Himineldar Shel, the silvery white warp threads of the elegant garment glitter icily against the cold grey metallic threads used in the weft of the loom. The cloak has been masterfully designed to drape in gently rippling folds from the wearer's shoulders to the ground. A raven sculpted from pristine silver and a "K" cast from gleaming gold flank the central jewel used for the brooch. Under indoor lighting, the zenith spinel exhibits a fiery scarlet hue. |
