List of Characters

C

#### Caskgrip, Bhelnon

* A Dwarf originally from Theorn. He fled due to conflicts over and greed for his knowledge of the secrets of moon steel. Various warring factions fought over his steel. He and his wife Gwinowyn sought refuge by escaping to the South, but were ambushed by Hill Giants and Ogres on an ill-fated charter ship serving mostly merchants not wanting to answer a lot of questions about their cargo. Due to the need for secrecy in transporting Bhelnon's moon steel, and the illicit nature of the cargo belonging to other passengers, the ship sailed through the Giant's Highland and was scuttled by the huge boulders launched from shore by the giants. Many were killed including the captain, and Bhelnon and his wife thought themselves doomed were it not for their timely rescue by The Arena Hounds.
* Bhelnon said that the techniques for forging moon steel are difficult and complex, but can be taught through years of apprenticeship. "The real secret is the heat of the kiln. The ancient elves used dragon's flames to heat their forges, but I've had to create a new bellows and smelting process."
