Thrain Embervein is a duergar of stocky build and volcanic complexion, his gray skin marbled with faint glowing veins like cooled magma. His eyes burn a molten orange in low light, and his beard is streaked with ash-white. Unlike most duergar who dwell in the deep earth, Thrain has bound his fate to the surface tribes of Midgard, proving his worth through brutal hunts and unshakable resolve.
He wields a sulfur-forged spear, its blade etched with runes that smoke faintly even in rain. Every obsidian chip on the necklace around his neck represents a great beast slain under his command, and he boasts that his tally outnumbers those of many goliaths. Though an outsider by blood, he commands respect — earned not through heritage, but through relentless skill.
