Description
The Bellwarden is a towering, broad-shouldered figure of rusted steel and ash, standing well over most men. His armor was once a town guard’s plate, now cracked and rusted. Every movement carries the sound of grinding metal and dragging chains.
A massive iron bell hangs from his back, suspended by thick, scorched chains that bite into his shoulders and spine. The bell is split down one side, glowing faintly from within, and it sways with his steps—heavy, deliberate, inescapable. Each motion sends ash drifting into the air, as though the ruins themselves cling to him.
