His name is Thorrik Stonevein, sometimes called “The Gatepost” by locals. Once a war-hardened sentinel from a forgotten dwarven stronghold deep in the Gravenmarch Peaks, Thorrik earned his reputation holding a mountain pass alone for three days against an orcish siege after the rest of his unit fell. When the hold was eventually lost to a cave-in, he wandered the deep roads until finding work guarding The Cave Inn. Though quiet and stern, he watches over the inn and its guests with the same unshakable resolve—unyielding, like the stone he once swore to protect.
