Magiventia

A male human fighter with thinning, snow-white hair tied in a loose ponytail, a bushy beard streaked with salt and sea grime, faded blue eyes clouded with age but sharp with hidden knowledge, leathery sun-scorched skin covered in faded tattoos of nautical symbols and a mysterious rune on his forearm. He wears a worn sailor’s coat in faded blue patched with canvas, a roughspun shirt and trousers, carries a weathered cutlass at his hip, a gnarled wooden pipe, and a crooked tricorn hat.

Gruff yet wise, with a guarded demeanor hiding a wealth of secrets. Tormund is a survivor, shaped by the sea and its dangers. He values his knowledge but trades it for trust or liquor.

Tormund "Saltbeard" Veyne is an old sailor who spent decades navigating the treacherous waters of the Magiventia Ocean. A veteran of countless storms and pirate skirmishes, he retired to the Great Bazaar of Magiventia, where he spins tales for coin. Beneath his weathered exterior lies a big secret: deep in the Magiventia Ocean lurks a kraken, its scales capable of crafting the most powerful armors known. Tormund witnessed this firsthand when his crew was decimated by the beast, a memory he guards closely. Only a bottle of rum, offered by a trusting soul, will loosen his tongue, and if convinced with a compelling argument or reward, he’s willing to guide a team to face the kraken.
