Story
Wytrwałek — the Steadfast One — is a dwarf who understands that great things take time. Tucked away on ul. Trwała 17/19 in the Krzyki district, he has planted himself firmly and refuses to budge, day after day, watching the neighbourhood go about its business with the unhurried patience of someone who has nowhere more important to be. According to dwarf lore, he once made a bet with the Chochlik Odrzański that he could outlast any obstacle life placed in his path — and has been proving it ever since.
