Their slaves, the Gnomes, work all year crafting weapons for the nearby Halfling town of Fordheim. Fordheim is constantly at war with a community of Dwarves called the Eight Lights, and both sides are troubled by a melancholy green troll. Clas is their only protection, and he knows it: he orders the gnomes to create weapons that will break after slightly less than a year. Each year he demands a ransom from the Halflings before he will give them new weapons. Each year the ransom is greater and he withholds the weapons longer--only delivering them at the very last moment, using his time stop power.He is feared by the Druids, who know him as "Father Christmas." Some new Druids think he is merely a fairy-tale, meant to scare them from deviating from their alignment. In fact, the Druids trained him in the ways of magic before he ascended to Gilgaladhor two thousand years ago. They also inspired his affinity for holly leaves, a sack of which he always carries while abroad.The Druids know that he was once an Elf; none knows what sort of creature he is now.Santa: ClasMedium Fey (see below)Armor Class: 13Hit Points: 85 (13d12)Speed: 30 ft.Senses: darkvision 6 mi.Str 12 (+1), Dex 17 (+3), Con 11 (+0)Int 20 (+5), Wis 25 (+7), Cha 19 (+4)Alignment: Neutral EvilLanguages: all; see belowTraitsUniversal: Clas is all creature types and can speak all languages.
