The Gaffer

The Gaffer was the leader of the village of Mountain Distant in the north-western corner of Zar. He was a dwarven miner.

Description
The Gaffer was a stout dwarf, grey-haired and bearded. He wore a leather waistcoat and trousers, a white shirt and boots. He wielded a folding guidaxe, a tool which combined the best parts of pickaxe and standard axe. He was of a no-nonsense disposition and very conservative in both generosity and gratitude.

Interactions with the Party
The Seeker portion of the party journeyed to Mountain Distant to obtain Levistone, a rare and valuable mineral used in the construction of airships. However, the Gaffer explained that no more Levistone would be mined by dwarves due to the high risk of attack by deep-dwelling creatures. The party were able to obtain some Levistone themselves and return to the village. The following day a convoy from the Enclave, lead by Master Phyraxis, arrived to renew the contract for ore and stone in the wake of Fjornik's near-destruction, and the Gaffer was last seen in discussions with Phyraxis over a new contract.
