Description: Stout, commanding, and by all accounts strikingly attractive to the men of her race, Moira is the owner of the restaurant bearing her name that is located in the hilly suburbs southwest of Kos City. She also owns significant property throughout the area, including shares in a number of mines, and is consequently fairly wealthy.

Moira is one of the most prominent leaders of the Dwarven community on Kos Island and tireless in protecting its interests — both by trying to influence the way others see and treat her folk and by guiding the members of her community to be the best they can and adhere to traditional Dwarven values. She is especially critical of Dwarves who act in ways that deviate from what she considers to be ideal canons of behavior, especially those who behave in a greedy manner in their dealings with one another, and will often demand they change their ways. Those who cross her may find themselves being censured by the Dwarven community until they approach her and make appropriate amends.

Moira is also a priestess of the Dwarven female deity of hearth, home, and community. Her prepared spells are those she tends to use on a day-to-day basis in her capacity as the manager of a restaurant, but she will select more appropriate ones if adventuring or undertaking a particular mission. She is also adept at working with alchemist’s supplies.

Moira is originally from a community of Dwarves that live deep beneath the mountains of mainland Anatolia, and her style of cooking, customs, and dialect all reflect this. She does periodically travel back to the home caverns of her clan, less for her stated aim of personally selecting ingredients for her restaurant than for purposes of reinforcing alliances and keeping apprised of any developments she might deem relevant.

Moira is rarely seen wearing anything but fine traditional robes and is generally heavily laden with jewelry and gemstones, including rings that she weaves into the elaborate braids of her golden beard.

Moira is a blood kinswoman of the soldier Trodecarn and the armorer Durden Ironbender.
