NPC 018: Cordelia
🕑 Added 2025-05-01 08:10:45 +0000 UTCThe Dvari hail from the southern deserts. A hardy folk of miners and traders, they are rather obsessed with gems and jewelry. Although their creation remains the direct cause of a'garian mutation, they are allied with their unfortunate neighbors. As well they maintain a wary relationship with the dragons, often finding themselves butting heads over their mutual love of valuables. The a'garians act quite well as the glue that holds the Emerald Conventions together.
Their relationship with the dolder is closer than that of their relationship to the a'garians. The smaller more subservient race making for ideal assistants to their own work. A complimentary team up that benefits both of them and all parties involved. One which came as a great boon after the war with the dor'em nai left much of their civilization in ruins. The dvari are all too happy to rebuild with the dolder in mind as new friends.
Beyond their endless desire for the greatest gleam, they also partake in many crafting professions and competitions. Whenever there is tournament to be held, there will almost always be a dvari to organize it.
Cordelia is one such dvari with a profession matching the intrigue of shiny things. Her sharp eye for sheen and sturdy swift form has made her perfect for pearl diving. Her history in such a business has brought her into contact with many an individual especially since she lives in the neutral port of Kirizimi. And like others of her kind, she's had dealings with dragons many times before and would have plenty to say about them if she wasn't so busy looking for pearls. Yet she's never gotten used to the filimuri's tricks...
I think it is rather clear that the dvari are pretty closely inspired by dwarves. The biggest difference between them are more about the universe they inhabit. (Dragons being not quite as impressive as they are in typical fantasy lore for example) Though really I'm happy to have them because I can't think of a better race to have for hardy creatures to be in an alliance with the a'garians. So they just fit quite well in that regard.
And now that we've got a dvari girl, we've gotten one of each species as an NPC! I wanted to write more to describe the dvari but I'm quite exhausted at the moment. Either way, I will try to post up the newest NPC poll results and then the next NPC polls, though I may wait until after I've rested as I would like to add a new option to it for people to vote on.
Also I want to say that I'm not sure I did Cordelia justice as I wanted to make her feel stocky, but still cute. I'm hopeful I didn't land in a bad between spot where she doesn't look good to anyone. Regardless, soon she'll have to worry about her air supply coming at her a little too quickly... courtesy of a filimuri of course!
