NPC
Taerom “Thunderhammer” Fuiruim
A towering, soft-spoken master smith whose armor, weapons, and practical ironwork rank among the finest on the Sword Coast.
General description
Taerom is nearly seven feet tall and enormously broad, with chestnut hair and muttonchop whiskers streaked gray and white. Despite his size and reputation, he is quiet, unassuming, and reluctant to lead. He employs more than a dozen apprentices and accepts a steady flow of commissions from Amn.
Key facts
- Taerom can forge exceptional plate armor and ornate weapons from rare ores.
- His craftsmanship is respected by dwarven smiths.
- He has made masterwork components for Thalantyr to enchant.
- He increasingly favors locks, hinges, hooks, and secure coffers over grand commissions.
Roleplaying Taerom
Taerom speaks plainly, avoids boasts, and judges people by how they treat workers and tools. He prefers useful workmanship to spectacle and does not need to raise his voice to end an argument in his forge.
Roleplaying profile
