Non-Player Characters (NPCs)

"a hunched elderly elf"

  • Wizened and hunched with age, this elf nonetheless has a keen eye and steady hands. Dressed in a simple linen tunic partly covered by an old green cape, he wanders about aimlessly, as though looking for something long lost.
  • Tall and strongly built, Lilly moves with the grace and surety of one who has lived long and seen much. Her slender face, framed by tresses of golden blonde hair neatly tied back, is open and friendly, but her eyes miss nothing occurring within her domain.

"furrier Ertil"

  • Although clearly old, even as elves reckon time, Ertil has a spry quickness about him. When not engaged in his tasks around the shop, he occupies himself with whittling small wooden animals, his powerful hands adroitly manipulating the razor-sharp knife. His blue eyes fairly sparkly in his weathered face, and his blond hair pulled back in a long ponytail shows only the slightest trace of grey.

"Kreldor"

  • Tall and slender, Kreldor hunches over the counter slightly like a raptor guarding its kill, an impression heightened by his beak-like nose. His soft silk shirt appears to have been well tailored, but lies loosely on his gaunt frame.

"a tall elven woman"
