Drorkar is a dwarf who features heavily in the quest Perils of Ice Mountain. He has also written one book, mentioned in issue 24 of Postbag from the Hedge.
Drorkar is an agent of the Consortium, the dwarven governing body of eight companies that rules the Dwarven Realm from the city of Keldagrim. He does not seem to be aligned with a particular company, though, and may be working for the Consortium as a whole.
Drorkar, like many dwarves, is a supporter of industry, particularly the coal-burning and steam engine devices the dwarves are famous for. His writing reflects his beliefs, his most famous work being "1001 Uses for Soot: A Celebration".
Drorkar has butted heads with C.A.R.E., an environmental group dedicated to protecting Gielinor's environment. The organisation feels that his works will only worsen carbon emission levels in RuneScape.
Drorkar owns the dragon power station. He does not believe that global warming exists, and happily exploits the traits of dragon hatchlings (that they are the most efficient "furnace" available) for his own uses in the power station. During the quest, he doesn't believe that Brother Bordiss' alternative power station will give enough energy to power Nurmof's pickaxe machine, and replaces it with a different machine that pollutes the air. This soon has dire consequences, including a massive avalanche on Ice Mountain.
Drorkar and his power station are eventually closed down and replaced by Bordiss' alternative power station. Drorkar grudgingly returns to Keldagrim, where it is assumed he remains today.
Drorkar was mentioned in the 24th Postbag from the Hedge, more than six months before he was released in-game. nl:Drorkar
