🛡️ Brokk Stonevein

Title: Keeper of the Deep Door
Background: Outcast and Scout of the Deep Roads
Symbol: An iron medallion shaped like a cracked stone door, worn always beneath his shirt.

📜 Description:

Brokk Stonevein is a short, thickly muscled dwarf with skin the color of sun-bleached stone and a perpetual glower that could sour fresh ale. His left hand is badly twisted and scarred—the result of a collapsed tunnel accident in his youth—but it does nothing to slow his work.

His beard, trimmed short and practical, is shot through with gray, and his eyes are deep-set and black, gleaming like polished coal. He wears simple, reinforced leather and a heavy apron spattered with oil, ash, and ale stains.
His voice is gravel over iron, low and clipped, every word weighed before speaking.

Brokk runs the Deep Door Tavern not just as a barkeep, but as a guardian: of old oaths, hidden tunnels, and unspoken debts that run far deeper than Ashkarin’s streets.

🧠 Personality:

• Grimly Practical: Brokk wastes no breath on pleasantries or empty threats.

• Staunch Traditionalist: Respects the old ways of the deep folk, even as he lives among surface-dwellers.

• Loyal to the Dead: Keeps careful records of those lost beneath Ashkarin—and those who betrayed them.

• Neutral Ground Enforcer: Tolerates smugglers, exiles, and duergar so long as no blood is shed in his hall.
