Silas is one of the wandering Varisians, tall, handsome and exotic but with a tongue sharper than any blade; a tongue which has frequently got him into trouble. Silas means well, but sometimes he just can't help it if there's a joke to be told (usually at somebody else's expense). Growing up as a Varisian far away from home was hard for Silas, as they are often unfairly seen as being thieves and Sialas was tormented by some of the other haughty students at the Kitharoadian Academy. Despite his flair for comedy and song, he never fit in at the Academy and soon after graduating found himself drifting. Besides there was that misunderstanding with the Baron's daughter, traveling to Andoran was her idea and it was hardly his fault if she wanted run off and join the thieves guild now was it? Neither was it his fault if she took a several obscenely expensive art works from her Daddie's collection with her!

Most recently Silas was in Almas, but he's not exactly welcome there anymore, not after that scandalous tavern song. At the time it seemed very clever and funny to expose the cheating bankers who had been giving large "donations" to several prominent members of the council in return for looking the other way. If the same son song claimed the very same councilors where allegedly found in a ditch by the local constabulary after a night of debauchery, so much the better! It was the magistrates suggestion that Silas leave town before things got ugly, not that he was staying anyway after that creep with the daggers started following him around town like a bad smell.

Falcon’s Hollow is just a name on the map to Silas, but it's far away from Almas which is good! Hopefully nobody has heard of him here, at least not yet!

Whisper and Shadow:
Whisper and Shadow are a matched pair and have no effect if wielded singly. Together they are +1 cold iron shortswords that grant their wielder the two weapon fighting feat, but only when wielding those weapons. Whisper also gives its wielder the ability to cast Silence with a CL 5 DC16 will save 2/day and Shadow allows its wielder to cast Invisibility 2/day CL5.

Azlanti Sealstone:
Aura strong abjuration and transmutation; CL 17th
Slot none; Price minor artifact
Description
These topaz stones polished by the sea’s
embrace are carved with powerful runes of
the ancient Azlanti. These runes bestow two
beneficial effects: First, you may pass many
Azlanti wards and guardians unmolested.
Second, the seal stone grants you strange,
almost alien insights into all manner of lore,
which results in a +4 competence bonus on all
Knowledge checks.
Destruction
The secrets of Azlanti magic are long lost to
modern scholars in Golarion. If there is an
easy way to destroy an Azlanti artifact, it has
long since been forgotten.
