Rigot Danvers

Description
Rigot Danvers was half elf built like a Dwarf, albeit a tall dwarf. Years over the forge in Springdale toned Rigot's entire body. His coal black skin showed no signs of fat during his entire life.

Given his size he joked that he probably was only a "quarter elf."

Life
Rigot was born, lived in, and then died in Springdale. His father was the town blacksmith so Rigot picked up his forge hammer early in life. Rigot's mother ran the weapon and armor shop. She was a shrewd, kindly woman that took care of all those around her.

His mother encouraged Rigot to bend his mind around the physics of what he was crafting in addition to the raw strength necessary. Between his apprenticeship to his father and his mother's insistence on thinking everything through, Rigot became an incredible blacksmith at a very young age.

Rigot did not fight in the Springdale militia due to his station as an apprentice. He did fulfill his yearly training duties as a citizen solider; usually with the best equipment in the group. His top of the line equipment was a clever marketing ploy organized by his mother to promote their business.

Rigot made fast friends with a gnome name Pegswiller Goldencog early in life. This friendship would eventually deliver the love of his life, Elia Sv'intas, to him by chance. Rigot and Pegswiller were installing a cooling system they had designed together in the Maimed Orc, a tavern in Springdale, when Elia walked in. She hardly took notice of Rigot though he certainly noticed her.

They spent the night talking and drinking the finest elven wines. Several months later they were married. The marriage was blissful for 5 years.

Death
Rigot died in the first wave of attacks that became the story of The Rest of Elia.
