Aveloria

An older human male with a weathered face and a scruffy beard, Darrik has deep-set green eyes that seem to glimmer with knowledge. He wears a patchwork cloak adorned with pockets filled with herbs and trinkets, and his fingers are stained with the colors of various plants. His hands are calloused from years of handling both goods and the dangers of the marshes, and he carries a gnarled staff that doubles as a walking stick and a tool for foraging.

Darrik is shrewd and cautious, often speaking in riddles and metaphors that reflect his deep understanding of the arcane. He is friendly but guarded, always weighing the intentions of those who approach him. Despite his age, he possesses a youthful spark of curiosity and a desire to uncover the secrets of the marshes. He is known for his dry humor and a tendency to embellish the stories behind his wares, making them seem more enticing than they may truly be.

Darrik Moss is an aging merchant who has spent decades traversing the treacherous marshes of Aveloria, collecting rare herbs and ancient relics. His keen eye for valuable items has made him a respected figure among collectors and adventurers alike, but his dealings often come with a warning: many of his goods are tainted by curses or dark magic. Darrik has learned to navigate the dangers of his trade, but the weight of his past transactions haunts him, as he has seen the consequences of those who underestimate the power of the items he sells.
