Biography
Dredge "Dogwood" Gravehand, Bonne Tombe appeared outside of crypt for the first time in May 2023 after being delivered unto Ragnovik’s doorstep by a traveling mermaid who found him washed up on a nearby shore.
Years of severe medical leave from martial arts have left his fighting skills covered in a great plume of dust and cobwebs. Dredge is prone to fighting “for the unholy delight of it”, where the spirit of the fight tends to be more important than the act of winning.
While his fighting may not be particularly grand, he instead focuses most of his time on the arts. He is privy to taking up the pen and performing poetic narratives, but may occasionally lend favor to a brush. Often, the majority of his work lies in prismatic prints from some magical glowing slate he keeps in his knapsack.
You may find Dredge lurking around the fringes of a Kingdom event with a number of people. Some of which may seem shadier than others. Don’t concern yourself too much with the lich he reports to.
Whatever you do, don’t make bets when a dead man asks you for a game of cards late at night. Don’t take coins from the dead. Don’t garner debt. Don’t dig your grave.
Unless, of course, you’re willing to take a gamble. Lord knows he is.

Ask him about the menagerie for an incredible tale about undeath and freedom. It won't cost you. Much.
Belted Family
In an act of debatable chicanery, Dredge is paged to two separate overbelts in his homeland of Ragnovik. This was a division based on interests, with two paths diverging in the name of combat and the arts.

Notable Accomplishments
Served as the Vendor-Crat for the 2024 Spring Midreign, where he overtook the abandoned tavern hall and created a vendors market, planting himself there for the entire event to ensure vendors were well taken care of. Supplied all vendors with handcrafted signage, and invoked the Facebook Ad-pocalypse leading up to the event.
Dredge is a self-titled "inkmonkey" for the Kingdom of Neverwinter. He's prone to donating art and graphics whenever someone needs a hand. Contributed to the Neverwinter Facebook page banner for the 48th reign from January-August 2024. Prone to gifting art for knighting events and helping design personal phoenixes.
Dredge currently aids in park outreach by attending and helping organize panels for local North Florida comic conventions.
Somehow, in 2023, Dredge went to partake in a painting event at a Kingdom midreign. Despite painting with other people for several hours, he remained blithely unaware of the voting element of the event. Received 2nd Place by popular vote at Feast the following night— complete with his name fully not existing on the painting.
