Thraxis 'Ironquill' Durne
Guildmaster of the Forgemind Union and undisputed overlord of arcane invention law, Thraxis governs the craft halls with contracts tighter than any masterwork gear.
Name: Thraxis “Ironquill” Durne
Race: Dwarf
Class/Role: Guildmaster of the Forgemind Union, Inventor and Patent Lord (Artificer – Armorer)
Age: 128
Appearance: Thraxis is a barrel-chested dwarf clad in a reinforced exosuit that hisses with arcane steam vents and flickers with blue glyphwork. His steel-gray beard is braided into orderly segments, and his monocle doubles as an arcane display lens that clicks and whirs as he inspects blueprints or balance sheets. A prosthetic quill-hand—crafted from enchanted brass—replaces his right hand, capable of scribing contracts and firing arcane bolts in equal measure.
Backstory
A prodigious inventor turned political powerhouse, Thraxis was once a humble blueprint-forger from Ironhollow before crafting the invention that granted him fame—and power. He leveraged that renown into the creation of the Forgemind Union, an elite artificers’ guild that now monopolizes magical invention rights in several major city-states. Ruthless with intellectual property and brilliant in equal measure, Thraxis holds the loyalty of inventors and the grudging respect of guildmasters across the continent. Whether negotiating multi-kingdom contracts or enforcing arcane copyright law, he always brings a ledger—and a loaded wand.
