Malakki the dwarf jeweler


The game world of "Haven" is what we would currently call "diverse," with people of different races and habits living all together. The usual array of Tolkien-ish types are there such as elves, hobbits, humans, animal-human hybrids, and dwarves. This dwarf is in the jewelry and gem business, as you can see from his desk display and his little scale. He knows the provenance of items brought to him, and he makes the choice as to deal in, or refuse what is obviously stolen material. His image is adapted from an old Dutch painting.

Original image is black ink on illustration board, 4" x 5", spring 1984.
