Halmish is a wild gray-haired old man, who is bent over so that he is almost as tall as a dwarf. He moves with a quickness and fluidity that belies his ancient frame. He lives southeast of Silverpine Forest in Hillsbrad Foothills in a small cabin. He gives out warnings to those who try to enter into the Silverpine Forest. His descriptions of the forest are very accurate. He once warned Brann Bronzebeard about the dangers in the forest, but it only piqued Brann's interest.
