Urli Earthbreaker

Urli Earthbreaker is the barkeep and owner of the Outer Wall, an inn located within the walls surrounding Falas.

Appearance
Urli is a red-haired dwarven man with a trimmed beard and freckles.

Personality
Urli is a friendly man with a fondness for puns, much to the chagrin of his regular customers. He is also quite generous, although he says he simply helps good people. Urli has a sentimental streak, having been brought to tears by the sight of his grandfather's music box. He's also quite interested in the exploits of adventurers who visit his establishment.

Background
Urli is, in fact, Urli XIV. His grandfather, Urli XII, was born in Earthbreaker Hall, a dwarven hold located in the Falas Foothills. However, when drow attacked and overran the hold around the year 98, Urli XII was forced to abandon his home. Urli himself grew up in Falas and seems to have been close with his grandfather, but had nothing to remember him by. He became the proprietor of the Outer Wall and seems to have built up a reputation as a decent guy. Years before 598, he hired a group of adventurers, who happened to be some of his best friends, to go to Earthbreaker Hall to retrieve a keepsake of his grandfather's, but these adventurers never returned.

Welcome to Falas
The Champions Valoris met Urli when they were directed to the Outer Wall as a good place to stay while in Falas. He provided them with rooms and directions on where to go to gain an audience with the emperor, shop for supplies, or find the city's library. Urli also offered the party a job: go into the ruins of Earthbreaker Hall and retrieve a box given to his grandfather by his great-grandfather (Urli XI), which was abandoned in the chaos that consumed Earthbreaker Hall. He also wanted 20% of the gold they found, but allowed them to keep any other items they recovered. The party agreed and were ultimately successful, returning to Falas and presenting Urli with what turned out to be a music box that also showed images of dwarven adventurers returning to their underground home, the last of whom returned to a room with a cradle. In thanks, Urli provided all drinks on the house. He also introduced Jorah, Kilwin, and Erak to magma wine, to varying degrees of regret the next morning. At Jorah's request, Urli also examined the blade known as Quickbrand, which Jorah recovered from Earthbreaker Hall, and recommended that Jorah visit a smith named Galnur to have it restored. Before the Champions Valoris left Falas for the first time, Urli informed them of the bounty on Blighthorn, a young green dragon terrorizing the forests around Malino're, and encouraged them to consider taking it on.

The Fall of Port Valor
As the Champions Valoris' closest ally in Falas at the time, Urli received a magically transmitted message from Kilwin informing him of Port Valor's destruction and asking him to inform the emperor. Urli was horrified by the news and made sure to get an audience with her, allowing aid to be swiftly delivered from the capital.

Goals
For quite some time, Urli wanted to find a group of adventurers able and willing to retrieve his grandfather's music box from Earthbreaker Hall, so that he could have something to remember his grandfather by. Now that this has been accomplished, it is unknown if he has any major goals beyond successfully running the Outer Wall.

Abilities
Urli makes extremely good pheasant, unlike some people.
