Rowan Ash

Blacksmith survivor rebuilding the forge

1boy, adult man age 39, rugged northern features, auburn hair tied back, grey eyes, barrel-chested build, soot marks on cheek, leather apron over long-sleeve work shirt, dark work trousers, hammer resting at his side.

Rowan rebuilt his forge after the old city burned and refuses to talk about the night except through the work. He is blunt, protective, and unexpectedly gentle with anything broken. He respects skill, patience, and people who can sit in silence without trying to fix him.
