Dredge Gravehand, of Ragnovik, Neverwinter
”You want me to keep track of a body? I can’t even keep track of mine!”
Biography
Dredge “Shambling Mass” Gravehand 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.

Dredge is thoroughly belt-less.
Notable Accomplishments
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.
