Tabletop Lore

As a premier enforcer and respected elder among his clan, Vaakrin remembers the era when his people fully controlled the grand mountain keep. It was during that brutal schism that his jaw was completely eviscerated in a tense duel against a rival champion. Though he managed to salvage his face through the intervention of a master metalworker, the phantom pain has never truly faded across the subsequent decades, fueling an enduring devotion to his sovereign’s cause.

Highlight

This Artifact distinguishes itself through the metalwork details integrated directly into its reptilian visage, offering a compelling narrative and visual focus that emphasizes a lifetime of frontline combat survival.
