 Age: 50 
 Height: 4'2"
 Weight: 150 lbs
Hair Color: Red
 Eye Color: Green
Skin Color: Fair
Appearance: Garnet is of average height but slightly lean by Dwarven standards. 
Her long, bright red hair is tied back in a thick braid that reaches the middle 
of her back, and her green eyes have a piercing intensity. Her skin is fair, 
and her face wide and round. Her hands are heavily calloused from years of work 
in the forge. She is most often found in full plate mail, her shield and 
large Dwarven waraxe across her back.
 Demeanor: Garnet is usually withdrawn and taciturn, but is not unfriendly if 
engaged. Those who spend time with her will recognize that she is a woman of 
few words more because she does not know how to deal with people rather than out 
of disinterest. Her behavior changes entirely when discussing matters of her 
craft, when she becomes quite animated and eager to discuss what she has learned 
and what she has seen.
Background: Garnet Sharnhearth was born in Dun Harsk, a Dwarven clanhold high 
in the mountains, just below the snow line. But the Harsk Clan held the land 
proudly, for its rich veins of iron ore created the finest steel on the 
continent. It fed the clan’s foundry, and its workshops. Life was hard, for 
the veins ran deep underground, and the Clan were not the tunnels’ sole 
claimants. Goblin tribes lurked in the shadows, and things – Hideous, writhing 
creatures without names – Rose from the depths to prey upon the unwary.
Garnet grew up understanding what it meant to be a Dwarf. It meant a special 
bond with the earth, it meant loyalty to the Clan, and above all, it meant 
reverence for craftsmanship. The clan would never have been able to feed 
itself had it not been able to sell its wares, and those goods had to be the 
finest in the world if they were to demand the price they needed to survive. 
At a young age, Garnet showed a talent for smithing, and was apprenticed. 
She studied hard, even as she took her turns in the mines, carting ore and 
standing guard against the Clan’s enemies.
As she reached adulthood, it became clear she would have to go out into the 
world. The Clan needed no more smiths, and there were no marriageable men 
for her in the small hold. Garnet saw no reason to fight it, and soon after 
attaining the rank of master she set out into the world.
She took up residence in a small town in Irthos, selling and repairing weapons, 
and made a pleasant enough living for herself. There were few other Dwarves in 
evidence, but whatever the sentiments expressed by her family in their letters, 
Garnet was in no hurry to build a family. Time would provide.
And so it might have, had a chance encounter not changed her life. A young 
adventurer came to her shop with a badly broken axehead, asking Garnet to fix it. 
Upon examination, Garnet discovered that while the axe was not magical, it was 
of ancient Dwarven make. Stunned, she asked the adventurer of its origin, and 
he stated simply that he had purchased it at a stall in Venza. Garnet could 
only marvel that the thing had survived so long in serviceable condition. When 
she established that the adventurer would not sell it, she made her repair as 
best she could, accepted his coin, and sent him on his way.
That night, she could not sleep. The axe was a marvel. The steel, the forging, 
the tempering, were all beyond the means of modern craftsmen. The Dwarves had 
lost so much, fallen so far, that only those few pale echoes remained. The 
image of her work haunted her, for she felt that her ancestors had given her a 
challenge that she had been unable to meet. Her repair would serve the 
adventurer, but compared to the ancient perfection of the blade it was clumsy 
and inelegant. It was as if her work was a confession of the unworthiness not 
just of herself, but of all living Dwarven craftsmen. 
The next day, she sold her shop and all of the tools she could not carry. Then 
she set out, intent on discovering every shred of the ancient Dwarven knowledge 
that remained in the world. She knew, on some level, that she could never 
recover it all. But to do anything else with her life would be a betrayal of 
her ancestors.
Garnet has wandered for years now, searching libraries, cities and ancient ruins 
alike for clues to the ancient arts. She has paid her way by taking work as a 
sellsword when necessary. She has occasionally found work for a few months as a 
smith to keep her skills sharp, but is uncomfortable doing so, wishing she could 
avoid practicing her trade until she could do it justice. She has also studied 
Runic, an ancient language found at some Dwarven sites, in hopes that she might 
find something of value in that language.
