Languages:

Special/Racial Abilities:
* +2 Constitution, -2 Charisma.
* Medium: As Medium creatures, dwarves have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
* Dwarf base land speed is 20 feet. However, dwarves can move at this speed even when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load (unlike other creatures, whose speed is reduced in such situations).
* Darkvision: Dwarves can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and dwarves can function just fine with no light at all.
* Stonecunning: This ability grants a dwarf a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up.
* Weapon Familiarity: Dwarves may treat dwarven waraxes and dwarven urgroshes as martial weapons, rather than exotic weapons.
* Stability: A dwarf gains a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).
* +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison.
* +2 racial bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects.
* +1 racial bonus on attack rolls against orcs and goblinoids.
* +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against monsters of the giant type. Any time a creature loses its Dexterity bonus (if any) to Armor Class, such as when it’s caught flat-footed, it loses its dodge bonus, too.
* +2 racial bonus on Appraise checks that are related to stone or metal items.
* +2 racial bonus on Craft checks that are related to stone or metal.
* Automatic Languages: Common and Dwarven. Bonus Languages: Giant, Gnome, Goblin, Orc, Terran, and Undercommon.
* Favored Class: Fighter. A multiclass dwarf’s fighter class does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing

Appearance
At an even six feet and a little over a hundred and fifty pounds, Geppetto sports a lean physique, though toned in the fashion of a circus acrobat. His pale complexion and slightly pointed ears are attributed to his elven heritage, as are his devilishly handsome features, but his reddish hair is from his mother, which he wears pulled back into a smooth ponytail. Again, from his human blood, he can grow a neat goatee, which he sometimes wears out of personal preference.

However, his visage is almost always hidden beneath his most unusual preference of garb; his harlequin's motley and mask.

Coloured in patterns of deep purple, forest green, and fiery orange, the garment seems to almost flow in waves while he moves, due to strange styling. It is covered in a checkerboard print of diamonds in alternating purple and orange. Horizontally, a green band passes through each row at the corner. It is loose in the arms and legs to allow him to move and tumble freely, and is cinched neatly around the waist by a wide black belt with silver buckle. The cuffs and collars are adorned with loose tassels in the green of his motley, while his boots and gloves are somewhat colour-coded; his right hand and left foot and garbed in orange, while his left hand and right foot wear purple. While it certainly catches the eye, as intended, the costume appears very dynamic during his performances, flowing smoothly about in an array of colours. The motley does have a form-fitting hood, which he typically wears up.

His cloak, too, is a curious item, and differs both in colour and style from his motley, being that is is a mesh of squares of whatever was at-hand to repair the garment. On the outside, it appears as though the original material has disappeared and been replaced entirely by a multitude of coloured patches, but underneath, the cloak is flat black, allowing it to be turned inside-out. The black interior, however, does have a few small pockets.

Hanging to his left hip by a shoulder strap is a royal blue satchel with red trimming, which he refers to as his “bag of toys.” Inside, the pouches and partitions are tailored to keep everything easy catalogued, primarily his juggling items, noisemakers, and so forth. His most precious belongings are kept in the satchel, and as such, his backpack is just a simple top-loader. Through some simple tinkering, Geppetto has adjusted the buckles so that a downwards pull on both straps will undo them altogether, allowing it to drop off of his back to the ground.

The most peculiar thing that Geppetto wears, however, is his harlequin mask. It reveals only his mouth and chin, and is half-purple, half-orange, in a sun and moon crescent styling. It has a several inch long nose, and the eyes are mere slits with opposite-coloured impressions to make them appear to be sockets; purple in the orange sun, and orange in the purple moon. It wraps all the way around his face, covering all but his exposed mouth. Atop his head is a small tricorne hat with a large white plume sticking out of it. When bedecked in his bizarre outfit, he looks not unlike a large marionette.

We shall call it.... This land

Clearwater is the de facto capitol of the trade nation on Silvarum's southern border.

This trade-nation is a collection of city-states that operate independent of one another until there is a greater common threat. Think Athens vs. Sparta until they both join up to go get Troy.

Nihzyn is a farming and trade city somewhere in Silvarum's southern region. They have sent out a summons for help.


More geographical added info as the party moves about.

Who's Who

Dobb Hesslewhite - Merchant who might know a way into Silvarum. He runs caravans out of Clearwater and is rumored to occasionally try crossing Silvarum's closed borders.

Captain Tradamont - Owns the merchant schooner The Narwhal. Has offered the use of his ship any time he's running near your location.
