Aldegard

A stout male dwarf with a long, braided beard that glimmers with hints of silver, Leif wears finely tailored robes adorned with intricate runes and symbols of arcane power. His piercing blue eyes seem to hold a depth of knowledge, and he often carries a staff topped with a glowing crystal. His demeanor is confident, and he exudes an air of authority, making him both respected and feared among his peers.

Leif is shrewd and calculating, often appearing jovial and generous to mask his true intentions. He is deeply curious about the arcane and possesses a thirst for knowledge that drives him to take risks others would shy away from. Despite his wealth, he is wary of others, knowing that trust is a rare commodity in a world filled with suspicion and fear of magic.

Leif is the second richest dwarf in the duchy of Gurrat, known for his vast wealth and influence in the local trade. However, beneath his prosperous facade lies a secret: he is a powerful mage who has mastered the arcane arts. He uses his wealth to fund his studies and experiments, often in the shadows, as mages are feared and distrusted in this harsh world. His true goal remains a mystery, even to those closest to him, as he navigates the treacherous waters of politics and magic in a society that views him as both a benefactor and a potential threat.
