Description & Background:

Breach Quickspring, Thane of the Theiwar, has played an intrumental role in Jungor Stonesinger's plot to exile Tarn Bellowsgranite and claim the throne of Thorbardin for himself. A black robe, she is a member in good standing with the Orders of High Sorcery, though she seldom visits the Tower. Her prized possession is of course, her Staff of Power, which Jungor used in the arena to defeat his challenger, Vault Forgesmoke, shortly before Jungor's rise to the throne. Brecha has embraced the tradition of the dark dwarf savants, and therefore, has suffered the twisted mutations that comes with such power. From the dark taints, her head has elongated and swollen, and her facial features have grown strangely exaggerated and prominent.
