Dworven Drone

First you hear the clacking, as if metal spears are being jabbed into stone and the sound reverberates down the hallway. Then you see it. A metal monstrosity, looking to be half spider, and half furnace turns its empty glowing eyes your way. Tubes and claws swing towards you, and its metal legs clank into the floor as it approaches.

Dworvtown

When Kowal was built, the rulers hired dworvs to help design the town. These dworvs were recently expelled from the Kingdom of Greyhelm for their “heretical beliefs” (they would later be known as the Free Dworvs as they had escaped the strict religious culture of Greyhelm).

When they set up their construction camp for Kowal, the speicfically built it in a chaotic fashion as a complete rejection of the Greyhelm organizational building style. As the tents became shacks, and shacks became buildings, Dworvtown stayed one of the most randomly designed wards of Kowal.

These days, Dworvtown is compromised of many squat square buildings, mostly one or two stories. The people here are of varied heritage, but the dworvs still make up the highest population in this area.

Dwygar

Dwygar the Maker – dworven blacksmith, tinkerer, and mechanic. One of the most skilled craftsmen in Kowal. He owns a shop in the middle of  Dworv Town, the small district of homes and businesses owned by the local Kowalish dworvs.

Dwygar’s Forge

Dwygar’s Forge

Dwygar is one of the best craftsmen in Kowal. Sadly, due to a recent rash of racism, most dwarves of Dwarf Town are looked down upon. Dwygar still makes his money, but often not making the crafted items he wants. His shop is in the center of Dwarf Town, just a small workshop with a bed in it.

The buildings of dwarf town are different for any others in Kowal. They are all squat one story stone structures with flat roofs. You travel down the wide streets until you see the sign of Dwygar, an anvil with an eye above it.

Inside the small shop has a forge, a large work table and a bed. A short dwarf shouts from the grinding wheel.

“Yeah?”

As a free action, the skeleton unnaturally bellows, which sends a sonic scream at a single opponent and causes them to become dazed. A DC13 will save to negate.
