Kexten Fungalhorn

Kexten Fungalhorn is an enigmatic dwarf of small stature with a shock of upright white hair and a staff covered in strange fungus and mushrooms (which he eats when thinking). He is curious, insightful, talkative, and seems to be lacking the normally dour and stubborn demeanor of most dwarves. He is a citizen of the Gatehold of Iskard, but has recently left his home to willingly help the Dverge refugees that are trapped in the corrupted area outside of Iskard's mighty gates. Kexten is a talented, albeit unusual, craftsman, and has used his skills to create automatons from wood cut from the corrupted roots of Valdryssil to serve and protect the Dverge refugees. He calls these hulking, insect-shaped creations Rotroot Crawlers.
