Standing before the giant doors of Hammerknell Fortress Arty fidgeted nervously with her totem. The cool breeze of Moonshade Highlands ruffled her mountaineer gear. She deeply inhaled and relished the fresh air around her. She wasn’t completely sure what lay ahead of her but she knew it would be nothing pleasant.
“These doors were purposefully sealed,†she told herself.
“There is a reason why there is rumored markings on the walls that read, ‘Destroy the wheel. Never let them leave…’ she thought.
But alas, here she was with 20 individuals seeking to enter Hammerknell and kill the terrible creatures of death that loomed behind the giant door. She surveyed the crew about her and couldn’t help but smile. To her right stood the elf mage Ryclops digging through his bags.

After a long days battle in Hammerknell Fortress one doesn't want to be caught slaving over the stove cooking a meal for themselves and their fellow Guardians. As much as Arty loves a home cooked meal from scratch she also appreciates short cuts for those nights she's not in the mood to spend hours in the kitchen.

1 tsp pepper

As Arty approached the entrance of the Chancel of Labors she glanced over her shoulder to the frozen lake behind her. Its jagged formations, resembling monstrous claws, were a painful reminder of her previous life – a life of enslavement and death under the dragon Crucia.
Before the Age of Dragons, Arty was a skilled metal smith who specialized in armor. Like many other dwarves she was infused with the spirit of creation. She loved climbing the mountains of Iron Pine Peak to mine the various types of ore and brought her treasure back to her families forge to create armor that would protect the ones she loved. To her, nothing was more exhilarating then the leaping flames of the forge and clang of metal against metal. Her craft earned her honor amongst the dwarves.
Her nature was not one of a warrior on the front lines of battle. Arty preferred to be behind the scenes making armor and supporting her allies with her cleric heals. From an early age, her parents quickly learned that Arty was unlike her bold brother...
