Appearance:

Vordliss is an old dwarf, his skin is a dark grey, and his eyes are milky white. He is hunched over, with his chin almost touching his chest. He wears rags, and has no visible armor above his waist. He is often seen with a pipe clenched in his teeth, even when around humans. He has a deep raspy voice.

Interaction:

Vordliss is first seen in his shop, The Sleeping Axe, where he will stare at the player in silence. If players speak to him, he will ask about their business. If players tell Vordliss about their ring, he will tell them to speak with Belath. He will deny having any knowledge of a ring.

Background:

Vordliss was born into an ancient dwarven clan that had recently been banned from their home. They were forced to wander and move from city to city, searching for a new home. This clan consisted of one hundred dwarves and they were led by the mewling chieftain Vordor. When they wandered into Crowthorne, they were immediately attacked by the guards, and all but eight dwarves were killed. Vordor was one of the eight who survived, and he ordered the four survivors to travel through the exile's city and find out what they could do to stay alive. They never returned. Years later, Vordor was eventually captured and imprisoned, but he was able to escape with one other dwarf. They left their home and wandered Crowthorne, looking for pay and work. One day they came upon the Sleeping Axe and killed the owner, eating his corpse. Which is when Vordor discovered he had been cursed by Belath, causing him to shapeshift into a form of a dragon. Ever since that day, he has become a scourge on Crowthorne, killing whoever he could find. Once he is done with the player, he will leave the city.

Combat / Skills:

Vordell is truly a dragon of a man, able to wield weapons and armor that no other dwarf could dream of carrying. He is a skilled warrior and blacksmith, able to forge high quality weapons and armor. He has no magic ability, but is proficient in healing.
