			Race: Human

	~~'''Race:''' Human~~		=== Personality ===
	~~'''Class~~:~~''' Cleric (formerly active player character)~~		Thurmin has embraced semi-retirement with gusto, preferring peace, ale, and manageable levels of chaos. His philosophy can best be summed up as: “If it’s not smiting me, it’s probably fine.”

	=== ~~Description~~ ===		=== Faction Membership ===
	Once an adventuring cleric and the spiritual compass of the Phandelver expedition, Thurmin has since retired from active adventuring life. His silver-streaked hair and worn armor speak of years spent underground and in battle, while his easy smile and habit of deflecting responsibility suggest a man content to ~~let others swing the hammers now.~~		* Faction affiliations to be documented

	=== ~~Current Endeavors~~ ===		=== Character Arc ===
	~~Thurmin has diversified his interests between two ventures with~~ the ~~[[Rockseeker Brothers]]:~~		Character development across the campaign.
	* '''Brewery Venture:''' Partnered with [[Gundren Rockseeker]] at the [[Stonehill Inn]], where the pair have launched a small microbrewery. Thurmin, self-described as the “idea man,” leaves most of the work to Gundren but enjoys testing the product thoroughly.
	* '''Forge Research:''' Assists [[Nundren Rockseeker]] in unraveling the mysteries of the [[Forge of Spells]]. Nundren has made notable progress, crafting bespoke magical weapons available only to select clients. Thurmin’s role is part financier, part moral compass, and part retired tourist.

	~~=== Conflict with Halia Thornton ===~~
	Their quiet success attracted the attention of [[Halia Thornton]] of the [[Phandalin Miner's Exchange]] and the [[Zhentarim]]. When Thurmin and Nundren refused to create weapons for her shadowy clientele, Halia retaliated by imposing a “tax” on their mining operations.

	Reluctant to escalate hostilities, Thurmin agreed to pay — but soon noticed Halia’s thugs snooping around [[Wave Echo Cave]]. Rather than wage war, he took a pragmatic approach: he recruited [[Venomfang]], the young green dragon of [[Thundertree]], to guard the mine in exchange for treasure-hoarding rights and a steady supply of intruders to snack on.

	Though the partnership has required several frank discussions about what counts as an “intruder,” it has stabilized into a functional arrangement. For now, Thurmin maintains a peaceful if tenuous truce with Halia and her Zhentarim allies.

=== Description ===
Once an adventuring cleric and the spiritual compass of the Phandelver expedition, Thurmin has since retired from active adventuring life. His silver-streaked hair and worn armor speak of years spent underground and in battle, while his easy smile and habit of deflecting responsibility suggest a man content to let others swing the hammers now.
