Tenpug once served as a gladiator in the arena of Nibenay. It was there that he lost his left arm and almost his life. He was made an artisan slave after he healed, at which time he showed a talent for making weapons. Now he works as a weaponsmith in the tribe, turning out some of the finest weapons of stone and bone to be found anywhere in the Tyr region.

Motivations

The mul with one arm appears frightening to many, but he is actually a very gentle, very quiet man who toils endlessly over his wares. The workmanship shows in the final product. Once he arrives at a village and demonstrates his craftsmanship, customers gather their own material for him to work on. They gather pieces of stone and bone to take to Tenpug One-Arm. Then the one armed mul forges the material into a sword, or axe, or dagger of perfect balance and razor sharpness. When he isn't away working, Tenpug leads the tribe much as he makes weapons. He has forged his band into a successful group of artists and artisans who make a good living selling their talents.
