Description

As painted by Artisan Cinen, 399 AV.

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.

"Kraggur Kveldcharn, Defender of Forfedhdar, and Gwaal the Katydid."

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.

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 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.

The Pillar of Kraggur

Six aspects are carved into the granite pillar.

The name “Kraggur” is carved into the base of the pillar as the first aspect, with “Kraggath-mag, Kreggath-mag, Kreggur-mag” cut underneath it.

Above the name is a raven circling a mountain peak, the sun rising high above it, forming the second aspect.

The third aspect is the lunar symbol for the evening star. The carving is fairly primitive, but a more sophisticated image of a welkin has been added, the evening star serving as its eye.

A blank spot has been left for the fourth aspect.

Fifth is an intricately carved open book, resting atop a pile of scrolls.

The sixth, and final aspect, is a raven, symbolized in three ways: first is a carving of a raven; second are holes drilled forming the constellation of the raven; third is the lunar sigil for the raven.
