'''Description.''' Like most places, Arrabar is not friendly to its bastard sons. Eben's mother - a beautiful though lowborn woman - 'apprenticed' (really, sold) him to an Arrabarian weaponsmith at the age of 7, after it became clear that his cavalry officer father would never claim him. Eben took to the trade, though, as a sea turtle takes to the Sea of Fallen Stars when it finds its way off the beach.

One day years later, a wandering cleric of Gond named Darvin saw Eben at work at the forge, and questioned Eben's master as to why the then 17-year-old had not been promoted to journeyman, despite his age and ability at the craft. Much hemming, hawing, and negotiating ensued, and then Eben was off with Darvin to both master his trade and learn the worship of the craftsman god.

Now, 20 years later, Eben is a Master Smith and Cleric of his god, dedicated to the notion that his church should be expanded to all those who would benefit from it, particularly those, like him, for whom the knowledge of the craftsman's arts can be a pathway to a better life.

Eben is tall, even for a Chondathian, and quite heavy with a smith's muscle. He typically keeps his head bald and face shaved - the better to prevent a hair fire from sparks. He rarely dons his clerical garb, preferring his smithy clothes and thick leather apron.
