Skarn Earthborn

Biography

Recorded appearances

Skarn Earthborn is one of Mica's cousins and part of the dwarven resistance operating under occupied Darv. Introduced with his twin brother Hornfels, he has already spent weeks moving covertly through the streets and immediately insists on joining Mica's expedition into the deep tunnels. He continues serving through the resistance's underground operations and the later defense and evacuation of the sanctuary, placing practical clan loyalty above personal safety. (Chapters 227, 301, and 316)

Appearance and personality

Skarn is a stocky dwarf and Hornfels's twin, distinguished in their introduction by his glare and growling speech. He is terse, stubborn, and ready for action, with a dry sibling antagonism that contrasts with Hornfels's more openly cheerful manner. (Chapter 227)

Relationships

He is Hornfels's twin and Mica Earthborn's cousin. Their shared resistance work is rooted in family loyalty and the defense of Darv, with Skarn treating participation in dangerous operations as an obligation rather than a request. (Chapters 227 and 301)

Mana, aether, and abilities

Skarn is an armed dwarven mage and tunnel fighter associated with the Earthborn resistance. Axes are mentioned as the brothers' weapons, but the supplied scenes do not isolate a named spell, precise elemental affinity, or aether ability that can be assigned to Skarn alone. (Chapter 227)

Items

Skarn uses an axe in resistance operations. It is not given a name or established as a unique magical artifact. (Chapter 227)
