Summary

Invar Hammerguard is a dwarf cleric of the Forge, played by Bas and one of the original party members. First noted in Everchard as a greying-haired, paladin-looking dwarf who did not yet have plate, he is devoted to Stolchar, the forge god, though that connection has recently weakened or become inaccessible. His Hammerguard name and matching crest connect him to Hammerguard, while an earth guardian called him a child of Stolchar. Invar’s faith, healing, smithing, and unresolved crystal obligation remain central to his personal history.

Character Details

Player: Bas.
Ancestry/species: dwarf.
Class/role: cleric of the Forge.
Description: a devout dwarf cleric whose faith and resilience anchor the group during their travels. Invar provides healing, guidance, and unwavering determination in the face of overwhelming odds.

Character Voice

Invar’s table personality is responsible, analytical, and support-minded. He often approaches danger by assessing what the party knows, who is hurt, what a symbol or key might mean, and what his faith or training can reasonably tell him. In a group full of dangerous curiosity, Invar frequently acts as a stabilising presence: healing, protecting, interpreting, and trying to make the next choice survivable. His seriousness also gives him a dry comic edge when the party’s choices become especially absurd.

Known Details

On Day 1, Invar had delivered weapons to Everchard before the party discovered the militia and memory problems.
Invar briefly remembered Gelissa during the Everchard memory tampering.
Day 47 records Invar hearing, amid mind fog, “I will not lose you again my son.”
In Bridged’s Day 52 pathway, Invar’s route was paired with Morgana’s; his room involved a cricket, raven, and gruel.
Bridged described Invar as a man of faith only beginning to learn it and said he needed to give someone a crystal, the one Geldrin lost, and use it if they returned to his city.
On Day 57, Invar’s magic did not work in the Earth-plane space until Haze made Counterspell work, and later Invar made a new case and repaired a plinth for the offering bowl.
Invar worships Stolchar; later notes show him feeling that connection weaken, trying to pray in Stolchar’s tower, and receiving a refined goblet after making an offering.
On Day 58, Invar accidentally triggered a shelf’s fire trap in the Minaret of Learning, destroying a travel or location bookcase.
Invar’s spiritual weapon killed the smoke-spider or insectoid in the Brass City tower fight after smoke-control effects affected several party members.
In Stolchar’s tower, Invar tried to pray to Stolchar for permission to inspect the forges but received no contact despite performing the ritual correctly, suggesting the Sultan or fire-plane situation blocked Stolchar there.
Day 62 confirms Invar’s full name as Invar Hammerguard. The Great Tunnel crest, a hammer with a shield, matches the crest on his mage school robe, linking him to Hammerguard.
The Day 62 earth or stone guardian looked at Invar and called him “a child of Stolchar.”
