dreamer, especially for a Dwarf. Instead of concentrating on
learning a new spell, he would be thinking about some weapon
or suit of armor he wanted to create. Despite this hindrance, he
eventually finished his training and went straight to work, de­
lighting his teachers with the things he came up with. However,
not all was well with the young Ironforge. Although he was glad
to be doing what he'd always dreamed, he was disappointed that
so few people would ever see his craftsmanship. He did not
wish to "sell out" like those who went to Stormspire, but wished
Dweomer City wasn't so isolated. When Kara Zayne came
along with her dreams, Dan couldn't help but get caught up in
them.

Since becoming one of the Mystic Triad and helping to found
Magestar, Dan has been horrified by the fact that he has had no
time to work in the forge. He has been too busy helping with the
day to day affairs of a growing town (city?). Being somewhat
famous, he was elected to the Town Council, and has been stuck
there ever since. One of his duties includes overseeing building
throughout the community (he helped layout the town and
helped to design several buildings, which was great fun). He
also supervises the production of magic items and keeps
Techno-Wizards in line. Dan works hard, knowing that the
sooner the town succeeds, the sooner he can go back to dream­
ing up new ideas.
