Slate Petros is a Totem Rank Dwarven Shaman and Bara council delegate who turns Karl's arrival into a durable political and commercial relationship.

Biography

A Council Alliance Becomes Craft Recruitment

Petros recognizes the value of Karl's runes and introduces him to Bara's dungeon teams rather than treating Drodh's newcomer as a threat. He negotiates candidates for beast bonds, hosts the party, collects payment, and recommends safe lodging, establishing trust between the council and Darklight Host. (Chapters 872–935)

Karl later asks Petros to recruit skilled sculptors for Drodh. Petros accepts Karl's offer in good faith, contacts the Sculptors' Guild, and manages unexpected master applicants until the workshop receives expertise it could not source locally. The relationship therefore produces institutional craft capacity, not merely a single transaction. (Chapters 1128–1133)

Appearance and personality

Petros is a bearded Dwarf. He is hospitable, trusting without being foolish, and intellectually curious; he spent more than a century studying shamanic magic and elemental beasts instead of taking a trade skill. (Chapters 886–887 and 934)

Abilities and class

Petros is a Totem Rank Shaman with extensive magical and elemental-beast knowledge. He also fights with hammer and rectangular shield, angling the shield under a charging beast to overturn it and expose its underside. He has no trade skill despite Dwarven expectations, and the corpus does not name his spells or show later advancement. (Chapters 885–887, 932, and 1216–1217)
