Forge-Lord Valin Stonefist

Forge-Lord Valin Stonefist was once a respected foreman in the Dal Dur mines, but years of watching his fellow miners toil in dangerous conditions for the benefit of Kigum's banks broke his patience. He is now the radical leader of the "Stonefist Rebellion," a group of disgruntled miners and laborers who have seized several key mining shafts and declared independence from the Ironbeard Syndicate.

Valin is a charismatic and powerful figure, his body scarred from decades of underground work. He believes the Syndicate has sold its soul to the "sky-wizards" of Kigum and that the miners should own the fruits of their own labor. While his cause is just in the eyes of many, his methods are increasingly extreme, involving the sabotage of Aether-pipelines and the kidnapping of corporate auditors.

Secret Motivation: "Valin is secretly being manipulated by an agent of the Shadow Council who is feeding him false information about the Syndicate's plans, hoping to trigger a full-scale civil war in Dal Dur."

Adventure Hook: "The Ironbeard Syndicate hires the players to infiltrate the Stonefist Rebellion's headquarters and 'neutralize' Valin, but upon meeting him, they discover the legitimate grievances of the miners and must decide which side to take."
