On the Shores of Lake Quag; Schepni Brindleton

Schnepni's Burrow

“I may be short, but you smell terrible. And you’re real ugly.” 
     -Schepni Brindleton

Schepni lives in the Sepia Uplands, where he works as a miner. He sells the precious metals he finds in nearby Traft, even though he’d rather avoid the hustle and bustle of human communities. Schepni also works as a guide from time to time, leading travelers between Perrenland and the Vesve Forest.

     Because he wanders so frequently, Schepni is a very good source of information about the highlands. Whenever he encounters marauding bands of humanoids, he is sure to spread the news. Schepni enjoys leisurely talks and a good joke. He has little patience for rudeness and will give as good as he gets despite his modest stature.
