Moses the Stout-Hearted
Stout-Hearted... but not what you think. You see, Mosses the "Stout-Hearted" is a fan of a good, dark stout, lively conversation, and story or two shared amongst friends. He knows not all matters of transformation need be earnest, or serious. No, a pint with a good friend can at times put it all back into perspective and remind us to enjoy the ride while we can. "And that," says Moses, "is worth raising another one to!" Moses carries a staff with an antler lashed to the top simple because he thinks it looks bad-ass. SOLD |

The exact meaning of staff and crystal carried by Tycho are unclear. But again, scholars believe it speaks to Tycho's endless pursuit toward living his dreams. SOLD |

Zosimos the Mystic With a lightening staff and clown skull in hand, much can be said about Zosimos but little is actually known. In fact, it's even unclear whether or not Zosimos is male or female. Many believe, both. One thing is certain however, the striped hood worn by Zosimos indicates the he, or she, is a member of the Akoyeh, a band of trickster figures responsible for the very existence of the Bardolands. Zosimos reminds us that things in the Bardolands are never as simple as they may appear. Never. SOLD |
