Ferik Anneal was a blacksmith/artificer who operated out of Resonaegis. He had a close beard and mustache, light red skin, and broad shoulders from his days in the forges. He often wore black coveralls with large saddlebags over both shoulders down around his midsection that carried dozens of tools.
Ferik Anneal acted as the lead blacksmith of a significant blacksmithing guild within Resonaegis, the Hellfire Hammer Horde. He also acted as a neutral party between artificing and tinkering guilds, with blacksmiths being sources of materials while guild argue over proprietary ideas.
Ferik Anneal was aiding Aitha Vess in the investigation of the string of thefts within Resonaegis across Flosculus and Ignir 1113 GE, keeping the found artificing scraps in the southern reaches of the town in his workshop with the Hellfire Hammer Horde.
