Character info
Kaelan Drell:
- An eccentric but generally well-liked craftsman from Kaparin
- Known best for custom-crafted armors and weapons (he tends to focus on light armor and weapons). These are always custom-made for the user, and as such typically his work is known by its use in battle less than advertisement in storefronts. "Oh... is that Weissward over there, wearing one of Krell's newest jerkins?"
- He is, however, also known as an artist, his sculpture and paintings -- while not heavily sought after, are at least well known for thier... strange nature. He tends to reflect things he's seen in prior world ruins, or in stories he's heard of them.
- Lastly, up until recently he was known as a prolific and fair place to both find and sell off oddities.
Early history:
- The Drell family name was once known as traders -- focused more on import and export trade of bulk goods... many carts transporting goods across Ancuan carried the Drell name, as did several boats... but perhaps fifteen years ago, enough that most of this has fallen out of all but the most resilent local memory, the family fell afowl of the pirate nations, and was made destitute.
- Eight years ago, Kaelan came back on the scene with something of a social explosion. Decent capital in hand, he purchased a new shop, and began plying his trade. He was known for his gregarious nature, his willingness to strike up trade and conversation with any, and even being a joy to verbally spar with.
- He was also known to be a bit of a burr in some trader's saddle, because his dealings in oddities were shockingly fair and consistent... he made a good profit on them, but not at the expense of the buyer or seller.
- Rumor has it this is what has done him in recently. There are rumors of an explosion, and the sudden closure of his shop. He's been seen of late seeking out adventurers. Looks like he might be interested in getting his hands dirtyy.
