Aldar's Arcane Articles
show to players- Description: This massive and heaving covered carriage is decorated with gold filigree and glimmering lanterns. Hitched beside it are two great steel-skinned oxen that exhale green fumes from their snouts. Three lanky attendants garbed in light armour and carrying crossbows patrol the grounds.
Seated before the carriage on a buckling wooden chair is a massive human man who must be nearly seven feet tall and almost as wide. He is garbed in masterfully tailored jet-black silk that flatters his obese frame: a frilled doublet, padded breeches, and riding gloves, all worn under a great fur-lined cloak, topped with a feathered cap. Each piece is delicately embroidered with elegant silver trim. The smell of fine tobacco mixed with perfume hangs in the air around him. He smokes a fine black pipe and drinks from a bottle of vintage wine, a rakish grin on his flabby face. He greets characters warmly then rubs his hands together with anticipation.

Background
- Aldor the Immense is a djinni who delights in mortal pleasures and freely travels the world as a dealer of exotic wares. He possesses a sharp wit, a sophisticated sense of humor, puissant skill with money, and a gluttonous appreciation for material indulgences.
- His elemental nature is completely indiscernible, and he appears in all respects to be a grotesquely large human man. He wears an amulet of proof against detection and location.
- Aldor the Immense deals in magic items and delerium. He is accustomed to small-time heroes attempting to browbeat him, would-be seducers looking to cut a deal, and two-bit thieves trying to rip him off. He is always one step ahead in the mental bargaining game.
- His attendants and bodyguards are three human assassins named Brill, Meyers, and Vandeerbeek. His oxen are both gorgons.
- Aldor the Immense has commissioned the Amethyst Academy to create arcane locks and glyphs of warding to protect his wares. In addition, he has a tiny chest in which he keeps his own private treasures.
