Ballur Anvilheart

Lead Jeweler Ballur

A lead jeweler and leader of the Blacksmith and Jeweler's Guild, Ballur finds pleasure in the little things like how a pair of emerald earrings bring out someone's eyes, or how an iron gorget can make or break a wedding ensemble. Oft to while away the hours discussing stories and topics of interest, Ballur seems pleasant company for most everyone he meets.   He often has to apologize for his brother, Dolrim Anvilheart, and his gruff way of speaking.
