Description
Varik Deepdelve is a quiet dwarf with pale, colorless eyes and the habit of whispering to himself as he works. He moves softly among his shelves, dusting relics with a reverence that unsettles some visitors.
Personality
Reserved and inward, more curator than merchant. Varik will talk for an hour about the provenance of a broken idol and then decline to sell it at any price if he decides the buyer is unworthy of it.
Background
Varik runs Deepdelve Curios in the Ember Halls shopping district, a shadowy shop tucked into an old mine shaft. Its shelves are laden with relics pulled from long-forgotten tunnels, broken idols, cursed blades, and fragments of ancient stonework, and it feels more museum than store.
