Disa Sten (retired)



  • Dwarf. Warrior. Guardian. These are words Disa would choose to describe herself, quite likely in that order. Being a woman is a long way down on that list, and indeed something most non-dwarves would find hard to distinguish, were it not for the lack of a beard on Disa's square-cut jaw. Despite her relative youth, Disa is the current Clan Warden of Aura Runedar, having won a close match with her good friend Bufflin mac Barik for the title after the former Clanwarden Beorn Battlemail's selfless sacrifice in the Derro war.

    Height and weight: Disa is roughly as tall as she is wide. Anyone speculating further does so at their own peril.

    Skin: Pale with a faint rose tint, fairly smooth for a dwarf.

    Eyes: Narrow and hard, slate grey in colour.

    Hair: A bristly red, kept strictly contained by no-nonsense do's.

    Recognizable features: Square, squat, solid, sturdy, stony, unyielding - these are all words that spring to mind upon meeting Disa. She is shaped like a brick and has an attitude to match.

    Languages spoken: Dwarven, Common. Typically sparse in words, though she tends to be more open and prone to elaborate in dwarven.

    Race: Unmistakably dwarven, though lacks even the hint of a beard.

    Equipment worn: A very sturdy full-plate without spikes, frills or flair. It is a plain grey, with light bronze highlight in places. To this, she wears a slate grey cloak clasped with the Council of Moradin's brooch, practical heavy boots and gloves. She wears a solid ring on each beefy hand and an amulet around her neck, designating her as Clanwarden. Protecting her head in combat is an exceptionally ugly horned helm, shaped like the head of an Omox demon. The most beautiful and elaborate thing Disa wears is strapped around what you might call her waist - a shimmering belt of mithril, securely locked to prevent any thieving of property or chastity.

    Equipment carried: Disa's pride and joy is her shining, gold-edged dwarven battle-axe, triangular in shape to add a piercing sting to each slash. The axe, like her armour, is particularily efficient when fighting draconic foes. With the axe, she weilds one out of two towershields in her possession, alternating according to the type of battle she predicts. Instead of a bow, Disa always carries a few sets of throwing axes, for those pesky hard to reach foes.

    Relatives: Mother and father, no siblings. Clan Sten have a tradition of joining the Axes of Clangeddin, something Disa grew up aspiring to.
