Narvi Gloinhand

Narvi is an older female dwarf sage.  She loves to talk, loves to research, and loves to trade tales.   She's also quite willing to give unasked for advice to those who chat with her, and she knows quite a bit about the people of Hurin, especially the wealthy and powerful.

She is a highly skilled sage, with a massive library (with magical protections, of course) and unsurpassed areas of expertise.

She is unusual in that her preferred drink is white wine, and she spurns ale and lesser drinks.

She has told several members of the players' group that they can teleport to outside her home when they want to visit.

She has a young female dwarf assistant named Asarden who is almost always there, even with Narvi is away.

Her major area of knowledge is History, and checks on this are made as her Special Category.

Her lesser areas of knowledge are Law and Customs, and Geology and Mineralology; checks on this are made as her Major Fields.  (Note that her resources researching geology and mineralology are extraordinary, and time researching such is reduced to 25% whatever is rolled.)

Her areas of general knowledge are Theology and Myth; Metaphysics; Fungi; and Flowers.  Checks on these are made as Minor Fields.
