Thane Grurn Harrowdeep

Short, dense as ore, with a beard braided with iron rings and hands scarred white by fifty years at the forge. Descendant of the Underkings and still calls himself one when drunk. Sells starsteel to Zarvand, armor to Castavar, and the same information to both. Believes the surface is a market and nothing else. Honest in trade, closed in everything else. Gruff, fair, unmovable.
