Zuarezport

A tall, wiry old man, his skin wrinkled from decades at sea, wears a medieval sailor's coat over a stained tunic. His left eye is patched, while his good eye stares penetratingly. He is often seen strolling along the docks with a ledger under his arm and a pipe. The pier is visible in the background.

Tolen is cynical, sharp, and brutally honest. He keeps meticulous records of all ship traffic, both legal and illicit. He distrusts adventurers but respects those who prove their competence. Having seen too much, he is unsurprised by magic, monsters, or madness, and approaches situations with a pragmatic, no-nonsense attitude. He is willing to give a generous reward if the characters manage to take down the bandits lurking in Baywatch docks.

Tolen Wardwick is the seasoned Harbormaster of Zuarezport, a man weathered by decades of sea air and shadowed by the town's eerie curse. Once a rogue scout and smuggler, he now oversees all docking and trade with a meticulous eye, keeping detailed logs of every ship and whisper. His left eye is blinded from an old injury, and he harbors a deep, secret fear of the sea since the lighthouse curse began. Despite his cynicism and distrust of adventurers, he respects competence and holds knowledge of the lighthouse disappearances and the ancient mysteries tied to the green light. He guards secrets of illicit shipments and smuggling tunnels beneath the cliffs, and treasures a petrified seagull from the first night the lighthouse glowed green. Tolen is a man bound by duty, haunted by loss, and driven by a belief that even curses follow patterns. He is willing to give a generous reward if the characters manage to take down the bandits lurking in Baywatch docks.
