The eternally grouchy proprietor and barkeep of The Dour Dram tavern in the Underhang.

A sallow-faced, hollow-cheeked elf with pale brown hair and haunted eyes, Linthel Dannison stands about 5’4” and weighs 100lbs at most. Something in his expression makes you hesitant to speak, lest he break out into tears.

A depressed, dour man with an inimical sour affect, Linthel has nonetheless managed to carve out a tiny sliver of success for himself in the service industry. He doesn’t seem especially interested in any part of his job — or life, for that matter — but he keeps a steady stock of reputable ales and employs talented staff, so people seem willing to brave his chilly demeanor for the otherwise excellent service.
