Diggy hails from the Stone Mountain region of Varisia. His clan traveled there before he was born, seeking trade with a tribe of dwarves whose gem and silver mines dotted the region. They did well for a while, but, as is usually the case with gnomes, they started to get bored, and many moved on.

Diggy befriended a number of his bearded pals, and spent much time visiting their underground halls and enjoying the pleasures of good food and strong drink. When he was invited to train as an inquisitor of Cayden Cailean, he jumped at the chance.

It wasn't long before things got out of hand. When he tried to cast inquisitor spells, other things happened: Magic that didn't conform to any cast by the faithful of the order. Rather than just the orisons granted by their god, he found himself casting other spells that weren't divine in nature.

He tried to hide it at first, but it didn't take long for the higher-ups to notice he wasn't quite right. While they recognized that his sorcerer abilities were no fault of his own, arcane magic was not approved of among the devout, and he was dismissed from any further training.

Diggy was unhappy at first, but found his arcane spells useful in his travels, and reasoned that if his inborn magic was so bad, why was it so good? It was a part of him, and he was a well-meaning gnome.

While he was no longer accepted as an inquisitor among his old school, he'd never been "defrocked." What inquisitor abilities he'd gained still functioned, so Cayden Cailean appeared to have a different idea of him than most, it seemed.

He learned to cast his spells under the guise of being a wandering inquisitor, and few noticed any difference. He couldn't do what most inquisitors did. He did other things, and he liked it. Too bad some people couldn't see the value in that.

Diggy is 3' 4" tall and weighs 39 lbs. He has bright red hair and a somewhat ruddy complexion. He tends to dress in earth tones, given his obsession with earthy magic.

Terflynn Pram the bow cleric of deity Gozreh. He is Neutral Good.

From the trickery and master of the unpredictable we have Grollus Ardensmith the whip lashing inquisitor of deity Calistra. He is Chaotic Good.
