Ironbeard

Ironbeard the Magnanimous is a rotund, benevolent Dwarf on a mission to deliver heavy, iron-link giftbags containing gold, vials, or other surprises to adventurers. His scruffy grey beard does little to hide his fondness for strong ale. He wears a simple but elegant outfit of dark trousers, a long-sleeved white tunic belted with thick black rope, and a suede vest topped off by a slightly tattered, chocolate-coloured hat with a wide brim. Across his broad back he wears a canvas satchel that bulges with assorted shapes. Tucked beneath the satchel but within easy reach is a dwarven battleaxe with curious sigils etched into the shining double blades.

Ironbeard's presence is often preceded by the rowdy notes of a drinking song. The most fortunate of adventurers will hear him declare, "Far better to give than to receive!" as he gives them a giftbag. Then, with a crooked smile and a rub of his stomach he fades into nothingness, leaving behind the sound of a distant belch.
