A gruff but kind-hearted dwarf with a muscular build, a bushy beard, and a bald head. He has an iron foot, a remnant of his adventurous youth, lost when it was crushed beneath a boulder. Trapped as a helpless witness to a deadly showdown, Thalwin made a desperate effort to save his companions by hurling the boulder at their foe, killing it in one shot. After settling down, he reclaimed the boulder and it now sits on a special mount in the tavern.
Thalwin values tradition and hard work. He has a soft spot for apprentices and newcomers who show dedication. Occasionally, he wistfully spins tall tales of his past travels to patrons he is on good terms with. For those keen to impress him, anyone able to throw the boulder and hit a makeshift target earns his eager respect.
