About Paellat Silvertongue

Paellat Silvertongue was born in his father's stall in the markets of Sothis. Paellat was raised in the Malhitu Bazaar, his father and mother were merchants, so he learned to gauge the value of items. He would sneak into the Antiquities Auctions. He became fascinated by the mystical objects which were pulled from the tombs of the Ancient Osirion.

Paellat was a rambunctious child, constantly on the move, even as a child, he fantasized about tomb-robbing, all his games revolved around it. As one of the few non-humans in the city, he was often mistaken for a child, and was constantly talking his way out of trouble. As a youth, he would sneak into the libraries and peruse the books, able to hide in small places, one of the advantages of being a halfling in a human city. When he was twelve he was caught, but again talked his way out of trouble, as he was able to link a story he'd heard, to the book he was reading. The scholar who caught him took him under his wing. Taught him to read Ancient Osirion, taught him about the ancient religions, and the cursed undead. He spent years under the tutelage of the Dwarven sage Merrigs Ironbook. He learned to restore books, becoming a book binder, restoring ancient texts as an illuminator. He grew bored of sitting in the library all the time, and ached for the exploration he had dreamed of as a child. Pae said his goodbyes, gathered his supplies, and the earnings he'd acquired from his toils in the library, bought some gear, and departed the library.

He joined the Pathfinder Society, as an expert in Ancient Osirion. On his first expedition, he was able to translate a warning which allowed the trapfinder to bypass a deadly trap. The expedition was a huge success, he was awarded with a Handy Haversack by the Society. Paellat believes in being prepared; keeping alchemical items in his pack for many emergencies, including an everburning torch, which is definitely needed for tomb-raiding. He keeps alchmist's fire for the many swarms which dwell in the tombs of Osirion. Thunderstones to deafen enemy spellcaster's are a favorite of his. After his second mission he was awarded with his mystical mithril chain shirt. He kept a masterwork silvered dagger he retrieved on that mission as well. He also rescued a jackal pup, and has reared it into his riding companion, he trained him with some help from a Pathfinder friend, Jomal al'Kitar, a half-elven dune ranger.

On his final expedition, his long time friend, Markus Blackthorne, was infected with mummy rot, he gave Pae his wand rifle as a dying gift, and had the rest of his items delivered to his family. Paellat helps Blackthorne's family on occasion, Markus was like a brother to him, and Aramae is like a sister. Her three children call him Uncle Pae.

He has been dispatched to Piren's Bluff by the Pathfinder Society. He will learn his mission upon arrival. He's not liking the temperature change thus far, neither does his Riding Jackal "Ka". He hopes there will be treasure on this adventure, or he'll be wanting to return to his own lands as soon as possible.

Thick beer is based on the ancient Egyptian beer that that was rich in protein, so I'm calling trail rations from Sothis, Thick beer.
