Beldi Coppercall - The Guild Artisan/Merchant
"I can forge a blade, a bargain, or a bureaucracy — which one do you need broken today?"
Name: Beldi Coppercall
Race: Dwarf (Hill)
Class/Role: Level 7 Artificer (Armorer)
Appearance: Stocky and iron-boned, Beldi carries herself like a master smith and a market strategist rolled into one. Her copper-toned skin is soot-smeared, and her intricately braided auburn beard is threaded with forge-charms and tiny guild seals. She wears a combination of reinforced leathers and metalwork-laced robes, custom-tailored for both the forge and the negotiating table. A gauntlet of her own design crackles faintly with stored kinetic energy — both a tool and a threat.
Backstory
A third-generation smith of the Molten Hammer Cooperative in Emberfall, Beldi rose from apprentice to Trade Marshal by outmaneuvering rivals with equal parts craftsmanship and cunning. Known for creating magical armor fitted for war and parade alike, she also forged alliances with mining barons, glassblowers, and distant trade ports. Her name appears on everything from expedition gear to ceremonial plate mail. Despite her success, Beldi has a problem — someone is sabotaging her supply lines, and war may be brewing between rival artisan guilds.
