Struvdik was a goblin scholar from the Stravlar fire-clan, writing in the Dark Ages, who recognized that his people's living-ink tattoo tradition — which encoded family history in scarring patterns — would not survive the period's upheavals intact. He spent two decades translating the tattoo-record system into written Common Tongue before the Stravlar clan's main lineage was broken. His transcriptions are the only surviving record of the fire-clan genealogies going back to the Age of Craggus.
