Character from Azarinth Healer by Rhaegar
A dwarven engineer whose war machines were too big for dwarven guilds — so he went north, found humans and Dark Ones who appreciated his work, and never looked back.
Terok is an engineer who was too ambitious for his own people. Dwarven guilds rejected him because his war machines were too large and unwieldy for their standards — they prize intricate, compact designs, and Terok thinks big. He went north, found Hallowfort, and discovered a community that appreciated scale. He enchanted Ilea's armor, guided her to Hallowfort, and followed her into the Tremor dungeon because that's what happens when you befriend someone who walks into danger the way normal people walk into taverns. He's practical, gruff, and evaluates everything through an engineering lens — structural integrity, material quality, functional design. His metal mage abilities complement his engineering — he shapes and manipulates metal with magic and tools simultaneously, creating armor and constructs that blur the line between craftsmanship and sorcery. He eventually settled with the Cerithil Hunters to train, finding in dungeon-delving a purpose his engineering ambitions couldn't provide alone.
Stands at 1.4 meters with a black bushy beard and one mechanical eye that clicks and whirs when he focuses on fine details. Built like a barrel — compact, dense, and covered in the soot and oil stains of someone who spends more time in a workshop than anywhere else. Wears intricate dwarven battle armor of his own design.
