LOCATION: Building 24 on the Elmshade Map
HISTORY: Araon was the one to think of building Elmshade and he and his late wife gave the name Elmshade.  Araon took the name of Elmshade when his wife had asked him to in honor of her dead brother.  He has remained strong in building this city and is not willing to give up yet.  
PERSONALITY: Araon enjoys good conversation, but hates to have long speeches on short notice.  He gets along with just about everyone and doesn't hold a grudge for very long.  Araon is a kind and very polite person that like to see everyone smile.  He loves every friend he has and would go to the grave for most.  He puts others' needs before his own.

NAME: Arnor [Co-owner of The Sword and Bow]
TITLE(s): Armorer
With the Armorer proficiency, a character knows how to build all varieties of armor. Armorer overlaps a couple of other proficiencies: The Armorer knows enough Blacksmithing to forge metal armor and craft scale and chain mail (though he cannot forge horseshoes, wrought iron gates, hardened metal tools, or any other useful items unless he also knows Blacksmithing); The Armorer knows enough Leatherworking to cut and shape boiled leather into leather armor, shield coverings, and the under-layers of scale mail and banded mail (though he cannot make dress jerkins, saddles, elaborate pouches or rucksacks, or any other useful leather items). The Armorer knows enough of the Tailor's art to manufacture padded armor and armor padding (but not enough to cut and sew any sort of good-looking garment). Naturally, the ordinary Blacksmith cannot forge metal armor, the Leatherworker is not experienced with making leather armors, and the Tailor isn't conversant with the making of padded armor, unless they also take the Armorer proficiency. The Armorer can repair existing armor that has taken damage (if you're using that optional rule), and can also craft barding (horse armor) through use of his proficiency.
    Behind the Scenes:
  • Creates the metal armor and help Araon out with the metal in some weapons
  • Human, very rugged and handsome, very strong and muscular
  • Is always in the back, not talking much to the customers

LOCATION: Building 24 on the Elmshade Map
HISTORY: Arnor was a very good fighter in many different armies all over the plain.  Not much of his history is shared by him.
PERSONALITY: Arnor is a strong man and very masculine.  He is not much of a talker at all, but he is just as nice as his half-brother and just as protective if not even more than.  He loves to work out and fight, practicing his sword fighting and his agility.
