Finnis Frosthorn

Born during the Eternal Blizzard of the Third Age, Finnis was the only dwarf child to survive the catastrophic storm that claimed his entire clan—a fate he credits to the protective spirit of a great yeti that sheltered him in an ice cave for seven days and nights. When rescuers finally found him, he bore the creature's blessing in his blood, manifesting an innate connection to the frozen depths that no dwarf had possessed in generations. His ascension to kingship came not through birthright but through a trial of worthiness where he descended into the Glacial Abyss and returned wielding Frostbite's Kiss, a legendary hammer that had been frozen in eternal ice since the world's founding, its magic responding only to one pure of purpose and uncompromising in principle. To honor the yeti that saved his life, Finnis fashioned his crown with the beast's shed horns, a symbol that unites his people under the principle that strength and mercy can coexist in the heart of winter. He has ruled Frosthorn Fortress with absolute fairness and unwavering discipline for forty years, never allowing sentiment to cloud his judgment, yet never forgetting that survival itself is an act of grace. His people respect rather than love him, recognizing that their king's cold logic and rigid adherence to law are the very foundations upon which their frozen kingdom endures. Finnis remains haunted by the faces of those he could not save during that terrible storm, and this quiet sorrow has become the wellspring of his determination to ensure no dwarf ever perishes needlessly under his watch.
