Thesis East Chapter 1

A middle-aged male dwarf with a thick, braided beard and deep-set brown eyes. He wears a sturdy leather apron over a simple tunic, with calloused hands that show years of labor. His stout frame and broad shoulders give him an imposing presence behind the bar.

Kale is gruff and straightforward, valuing honesty and hard work above all else. He is protective of his tavern and patrons, and his hatred for demons and elves makes him quick to anger when they are mentioned. Despite his tough exterior, he has a soft spot for those who earn his respect.

Kale Stonefoot is a stout and determined dwarf who has spent his life in the Tavern of Craftsmen, a bustling hub for adventurers and craftsmen alike. Growing up in a family of blacksmiths, he learned the value of hard work and loyalty to his kin. His disdain for demons and elves stems from a traumatic event in his past where he lost family members to a demon raid, and he views elves as arrogant and untrustworthy. As the owner of the tavern, he fiercely protects his establishment and the rights of his patrons, ensuring that only those with the proper Merchant rights from King Hilt are allowed to conduct business within his walls. He is known for his booming voice and no-nonsense attitude, making him both respected and feared in the community.
