Wixton Quillbit
Wixton Quillit was born poor and lived poor his whole life. The son of a net mender in a small fishing village on the west coast of the Ayr Peninsula, he left home early, in search perhaps not for fame but at least for fortune. His quest took him to the Port City of Cannon’s Reach which bustled with trade and people from the wide Western Realm. Life in the city was difficult but Quillbit managed to get by, eventually settling down as a sort of butler, come cook, come janitor at the small magic collage in the center of the city (Cannon’s Reach Magic College). Although he could not afford tuition, Quillbit gleamed as much as he could before cleaning off the chalk boards and sweeping up the parchments. The one thing that Quillbit did have going for him however, was a master key to the collage grounds. when he discovered that the chancellor, a horrible, cruel, and altogether undeserving individual, was involved with an underground criminal cartel (The Shadow Cartel) run by a man named The Iron, smuggling magic brune crystals, the temptation was too great. Sneaking in one night, Quillit took the crystals and managed to hide them, but things took a turn, and the alarm was sounded. To use an appropriate (though for gnomes fairly insulting) phrase: we can cut a tall story short by simply saying Quillbit failed in his attempt at fortune. Fleeing Cannon’s Reach he ultimately ended up in a tiny blip of a town (Tullen) that no one had ever or would ever hear of. That was many years go, but still, thoughts of that hidden stash of brune crystals in the collage at Cannon’s Reach still occasionally work their way into his dreams.
