Cornelius Vosk - gentleman of Ustalav, philosopher of some reknown, and member of the Esoteric Order of the Palatine Eye - was always kind and generous with his halfling servant, Tiro Turtleback. Up until Vosk's death just two weeks ago, for nearly 70 years, Tiro had followed his master everywhere, even on dangerous journeys exploring lost ruins on behalf of the Order. Tiro's master had even prepared a formal document for Tiro, inviting him to begin the process of joining the Order as an initiate, a requirement for any who wanted to become a member.
The events of the past two weeks had changed everything, and now Tiro was on his way to the town of Sandpoint to inform his master's only living relative - his brother, Naffer Vosk - of the unfortunate occurrence. Seemingly gone was his chance to join the Esoteric Order, since surely no one would sponsor an aging halfling servant now that his master was dead. How he wished he could have spent the last two weeks working to prove his value to the Order, but his loyalty to his master kept him moving toward Sandpoint.
"In for a penny, in for a pound," his father always used to say; and with Cornelius Vosk, he was in for nearly a ton.
