Goroth has the weight of an old stone monument: hunched, massive, and all but swallowed by the deep creases of his ancient face. Yet his beetle-black gaze is startlingly alive, and the gold disks at his ears catch the eye beneath his long white beard.

Goroth is an aged Obsidian whose imposing, hunched form and fierce black eyes mark him as a figure shaped by a long life. He is encountered alongside Lysander, but their confrontation leaves him gravely wounded: Lysander's razor severs one of his hands. The image of Goroth's severed hand, confirmed as Obsidian by its blood, becomes the stark trace of that violence.
Description
Goroth is a massive, elderly Obsidian, hunched beneath a boulder-like head and a deeply folded, ancient face. His beetle-black eyes are buried in those creases; the tips of his ears are chipped and pointed. A long, uncut white beard hangs down to his belt, while gold disks the size of chicken eggs, stamped with a lightning dragon, fill his earlobes. Blue ink forms a screaming skull tattoo across the back of his head, lending his weathered presence a fierce, ceremonial edge.
