Pelt Dooristone is a dishonoured Master Smith Dwarf of Deríthal-vel. He used to live in Pallass for a time before moving to Esthelm, after regaining his pride for his craft.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
He is around 5'4'' tall, has dark green eyes, and a beard.[3]
Personality[edit | edit source]
He has a direct and confrontational personality/manner of act and speech, and is not afraid to reveal his own opinion to others, even if it is something rude to them. He does appear to have a soft spot for children, and like every other Dwarf, he enjoys drinking.
Due to a mistake that he made in the past that had cost him his pride for his craft and in himself, he had become a dispirited, lazy, moody to personally work, and prone to anger. He was indifferent to most of the smithing crafts that he did not take seriously, shows almost no respect to anybody, and is drunk more often than not.
While in this state, whenever he did make something that he had giving it his all, he is obssessed with perfectionism for his own craft that bordering on madness. If there is even a single fixable mistake in the finished product, he becomes desperate and depressed. Often, he will destroy a flawed piece, becoming enraged and aggressive to anyone who tries to stop him from doing so.
Thanks to Erin's help, he would eventually regain his pride for his craft and in himself, and lose the other bad habits that he had developed over his mistake, though he remains pedantic about his work.
Background[edit | edit source]
Pelt used to be the second best [Blacksmith] of Deríthal-vel, and renown as one of the best in the world.[4] He was one of two Dwarves acclaimed as a true smiths of Deríthal-vel in the last seven hundred years, the other one being Forgemaster Taxus.[5] In his studies of smithing, he visited every continent in the world, including the Drath Archipelago.[6]
He along with several other Dwarfs were kicked out of the Dwarf mountains for a big mistake. Dawil admits that the exile was not really his fault; he was only one of the smiths. He does not elaborate more except to say that it is Pelt's tale.[7] According to Pelt, he and Taxus grew arrogant and corrupt, and they ruined an entire generation of smiths as a result.[6]
He teaches multiple apprentices including his primary apprentice Emessa.
