Thursen Axeshaper

Dicey Dangers, The Creepy Creature of Vulture's Vineyard

Game by Joel Hills

Thursen Axeshaper

Thursen Axeshaper is the patriarch of The Sleepy Efreeti, a barrel-chested Dwarf with a beard singed short at the edges and a merchant's memory that has never once forgotten a price, a face, or a debt. He has spent most of his life on the wagon's bench, working trade roads from one end of the realm to the other, and his reputation travels ahead of him: fair to the copper, honest to a fault, and impossible to rush. His side of the wagon is arms and armor for those who live by them, steel for Fighters, Paladins, and Swashbucklers, from belt daggers to full plate, every piece of it carrying the heat of the wagon's forge.

He is a devoted family man, married to Gloviel Axeshaper, with a son, Ruvir Axeshaper, whom he hopes will one day take the bench, though he'd sooner nap than say so out loud. The family gives quietly and often, a portion of every season's profit finding its way to Dwarven communities in need, and Thursen will deny it flatly if asked.

Watch him make a sale and you'll see his one unbreakable ritual: before any piece of steel leaves his hands, he presses it briefly against the wagon's glowing firebox, holds it there a moment, and hands it over still warm. "So it remembers the forge," he says, and that is all he ever says about it.
