GRIMBLE outfit

GRIMBLE IRONFIST, THE OUTSIDER FROM THE NORTHERN WASTE, JOINS THE DWARVES OF KORTH IN THEIR FIGHT AGAINST THE CHAOS AND ENCROACHING GOBLIN HORDES.

GRIMBLE WEILDS A BATTLE AX IN COMBAT AND WEARS HARDENED LEATHER ARMOR. THE ARMOR IS ACCENTED WITH BRONZE PLATED LEATHER GAUNTLETS AND BRONZE MEDALIONS DRAPED OVER HIS CHEST.

DRYADS

AS THE DWARVES AROSE FROM ROCK AND SOIL, SO THE ELVES EMERGED FROM THE REMAINING TREES. TO REJOIN WITH THE TREES, THE LONG SLEEP, HAS BECOME THE GREAT ELVISH OBSESSION. TO SLEEP AND AWAKEN IN A NEW AGE.

IN THE SPARSE LANDS WEST OF THE KORTHIAN VALLEY CAN BE FOUND THE DRYADS. THESE ELVES SOUGHT TO ENTER THE LONG SLEEP PREMATURELLY, REMAINING FOREVER TRAPPED IN A WAKING STATE WITH A HUNGER FOR BLOOD.

THE DRYADS ARRIVE TO IMPEDE THE DWARVES OF KORTH ON THEIR QUEST TO FIND THE POOL OF LIGHT.

PRAHLA armor

AS THE SAVAGE SHE-DWARF FINDS HER PLACE AMONG THE DWARVES OF KORTH, SHE ALSO JOINS THEM IN THE FIGHT TO SAVE THE VALLEY FROM THE GOBLINS. SHE FASHIONS A SUIT OF STYLISH ARMOR WITH THE AID OF THE KORTH CRAFTSMEN AND ARMORERS.

TILARRUM armor

PRINCE TILARRUM OF THE ORDER OF THE REED WEARS A FANCIFUL AND INTRICATE SUIT OF ARMOR THAT DATES BACK HUNDREDS OF YEARS.

THARG rider

TO FIGHT OFF THE GREAT HORDES OF GOBLINS, THE DWARVES MASTER THE THARG, GREAT BEASTS RELATED TO THE OGRES, AND RIDE THEM INTO COMBAT.

NORMALLY PEACEFUL CREATURES, THE THARG ARE DRIVEN TO A COMBATIVE RAGE WITH THE USE OF THE DE'MAU ROOT.

PURGIS

PURGIS WENT THROUGH SEVERAL DESIGNS, LIKE THIS COLOR SKETCH, BUT OVERALL HE ALWAYS MAINTAINED THE SAME GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS.

SHE-DWARF

THIS COMEDIC DRAWING WAS A COMISSIONED PIECE, INSPIRED BY BODE. THE SHE-DWARF IS AN EXAGGERATION OF THE FEMALE DWARVES OF KRAE, AND THE GOBLIN IS A MUCH TINIER AND LESS THREATINING VERSION OF THE GREATER GOBLINS FROM BEYOND THE NORTHERN RIDGE.

KRAE with shield

THIS FULL BODY RENDERING OF KRAE STUDIED THE BATTLE POSE HE MIGHT TAKE. HE IS PICTURED HERE WITH A SHIELD AND THE SWORD BAKFELL.

TORRIC Outfit

TORRIC THE BERSERKER DISDAINS FROM WEARING ARMOR, PERFERING TO ENTER A FIGHT BARE-CHESTED, SHOWING OFF HIS TATTOES AND BATTLE SCARS.

THIS DRAWING IS A FULL BODY STUDY OF THIS CHARACTER.

SHAMA battle gear

SHAMA IMMEDIATELY FINDS A MENTOR AND SOMEONE TO ADMIRE IN PRAHLA. WHERE THE WOMEN OF KORTH HAVE BEEN TRADITIONALLY KEPT UNDER THE PROTECTIVE AND WATCHFUL EYES OF THE MALE DWARVES, PRAHLA IS A STRONG AND INDEPENDENT SHE-DWARF, A WARRIOR RIVALING THE GREATEST IN KORTH.

UNDER PRAHLA'S MENTORSHIP, SHAMA FINDS THE WARRIOR'S SPIRIT WITHIN HERSELF.
