Tornoth

Tornoth is the founder and leader of the only settlement in Sejan, Taodal. His main occupation in the village, when not being consulted about village management business, is to serve as its blacksmith and house builder. He is also the father of Shyni, although he doesn't seem to be married or in a relationship with anyone.
Personality-wise, he's known to be a bit grumpy and sometimes hot-headed, especially when it comes to protecting his daughter, but he is described to having a good heart and intentions. 
 
Some say that he may have a weakness towards women, signified by him not being as stubborn against them as with men. His simultaneous weakness towards women and his apparent avoidance of them suggests that he might have an unfortunate history with them.
==Background==
==Player interactions==
The player always meets Tornoth when first trying to enter Taodal as they are taken to him for questioning. His main concerns about the player are their intentions and how they got to Sejan. After the interrogation is over, the player can visit him during the day to buy tools and supplies. If the player character is female, she can also engage in a romantic relationship with him.
===Romance===
 Female player characters can flirt with Tornoth when visiting him in his smithy. The flirt quickly turns awkward as it seems like he can't take it gracefully. The attention gets him seriously flustered, and he excuses himself, ending the encounter there. 
On the player's next visit, he has pulled himself together, and he invites the player to a dinner and visit to the sauna. At the dinner, the player gets introduced to his daughter, Shyni, if they hadn't met her before. The dinner also works to prevent the female player character to romance both Tornoth and Shyni – both of them can invite the player to dinner, but the romance continues only with the character whose invitation was accepted. After the meal, Tornoth and the player go into the sauna together, relaxing and bonding with each other mentally and physically. Afterwards, the player has a night of good sleep over in Tornoth's bed with him.
When the player visits them afterwards, Tornoth can be found constructing a frame for a bigger bed, since they discovered that the previous one is a bit small for two people. When the player visits him again, he is finished building the bed. He plans to test drive it with her but not before a little boating trip to check on some fish traps. The boat trip turns out to be fishless, as the fish traps around Taodal are empty for an unknown reason. During the trip, he suggests that he could build a house for the player, if she wanted to stay in Taodal.
After the boating trip, Tornoth gives the player a key to his house so that she can visit him at any time. The two then take a bath before finally testing out the bed. On subsequent visits in the evening and at night, the player can spend more intimate time with Tornoth, in addition to learning his tragic past piece by piece during their pillow talks. He also confesses that although he talks and acts humbly about being an unofficial leader of the village, he feels like he's the right one. 
===Trading===
When visiting him at his smithy, Tornoth sells various utility items to the player:
* 3 boxes of nails
* 1 crowbar
* 1 felling axe
* 1 pickaxe
* 2 rolls of rope
* 3 torches
He buys out most of the things the player offers to him, with some exceptions:
* He won't buy the mysterious nailed sock. He has a short dialogue with the player about its purpose and origins, however.
* He'll return the player's underwear with "Get that off my table."
* Sejan cave map and keys to his smithy and the sauna storage are instantly returned with no message.
* He can refit the ancient helmet from the abandoned well to be able to be used by the player, in addition to buying it out if the player wishes to sell it.
==Trivia==
* When playing as a female player character that engages in a relationship with Shyni, he is fully aware of the player's and his daughter's lesbian romance. However, he seems to accept this with a comment, "... I hope you'll have fun with Shyni... and treat her right." This is in contrast with romancing Shyni as a male player character which is either kept a secret to him, or he makes no comments.
* Shyni mentions that her father once broke a sailor's arm for cat calling her.
