Notable Denizens

The Stannards

• Hygelac Stannard - This older man is well-kempt, his appearance orderly and meticulous to the point of being anal-retentive. His grey hair is quite short and uniform as if recently trimmed, and his sparkling green eyes gaze outward through thin golden spectacles perched upon the tip of his pointy nose. Matching the colour of his hair, a grey tunic covers his torso, its fabric simple and unadorned. He wears a pair of plain brown trousers, precisely creased down the front and back of each leg. He is Aethel's husband and the librarian of the academy.

• Aethel Stannard, the Assistant Curator - Short, but not without presence, this older woman has a commanding air about her. She wears her gray hair short, its strands barely touching her neck. Her piercing, emerald eyes shimmer, and she wears a small monocle pinned to her blouse. The blouse is sewn from light cotton, its light green hue contrasting the darker forest green of her woolen skirt. Tiny vines of the lighter green have been embroidered upon the skirt, further emphasizing the contrast. She is Hygelac's wife and assistant curator of the academy.

• Osric, the Glaeswyrhta - The stature of this middle-aged human is short and stocky, but his well-toned, muscular arms betray the fact that he gets quite a workout amidst his sedentary lifestyle. His attire is rather drab, consisting of a tunic and trousers in dirtied earthtones. A large, heavy apron drapes down in front of him, and several small tools hang off of it. There is a faint shimmer and glow about his body, and his pupil-less, crystalline eyes belie something more or less than human about him. He operates a glassworks and shop, selling spectacle frames in brass, platinum, gold, and silver, as well as mirrors and handmirrors.

• Eadleofu Isgar - Shorter than average, her build borders on plump. Her salt and pepper hair falls straight to just below her shoulder blades, with two strands pulled back from her face and clipped with a gem-encrusted beetle. Her nose is broad, though not overly so, and her complexion tanned. Thin, dark eyebrows arch over eyes of orange crystal. A few barely noticeable age lines crease her forehead and the corners of her mouth. Her fingers are long and slender, and they seem just a tad out of place on her matronly form. Long, loose trousers of floral silk and a navy blue shirt cover her. Around her neck hangs a golden chain from which dangle four tiny figures of varying gemstones, two of which appear to wear gemstone skirts, and her left hand bears a smooth, plain band of gold. She has a jeweler's workshop south of the Timastede.

• Waermund Ebven, Curator of the Academia - Taller than the average human, this man towers above most. He wears a fine doublet of blue velvet embroidered with swirling lines of minute silver thread and plain, gray cotton slacks. Stately and well-dressed, he has a commanding presence and an appearance that is well-kept without being vain. At times slightly translucent and others partially glowing, his skin shimmers eerily, and his unblinking eyes appear to be emeralds.
