Characters With This Aspect
Edmundo
Edmundo
Imported character from the Character Data sheet.
Ironclaw
Thrain Ironclaw
Ironhoof — Astrid Ironhoof is a centaur alchemist, Head of Alchemical Studies at Von Queef University, and a practical magical researcher whose blunt loyalty to students makes her more than a professor or quest giver. Her relevance to the core party comes through fieldwork, horticulture, the Little Shoppe, her lost Centrum appointment, and her investigation into void-resonant potions and altered Boost-era alchemy as sources of clues, reform pressure, and regulated-power conflict.
Storm Boulder
James Boulder
James Boulder, known as Storm Boulder, is a towering gigas and Chief of Security at Pringle Manor, where loyalty is measured in steel, scars, and who stands between danger and the Pringle line. A former Drakkuskan War commander, he retired with honors before accepting his post as Point Pringle’s living wall. His cog-reinforced kneecap and wartime hammer mark a body rebuilt around duty, while his battle mastery and Iron Oath let him endure punishment meant for those he has sworn to protect. Lawful Neutral and absolute in allegiance to PP3’s legacy, Storm Boulder is order made flesh: steady, dangerous, and hard to move.
