Amorphius' Clayworks
Amorphius Stanglure is a tall, long-limbed figure who spends most of his days outside his shop mixing varied colored clays together to get just the right shades of azure, crimson, and veridian for the uniquely styled vases he fashions for the wealthy of the city. Known for their assymetrical form and brilliant (somewhat hypnotic) glaze patterns, these urns bring a high price within Mor's End and are especially popular with outgoing carravan leaders who can command enormous sums for them in far off kingdoms.
Somewhere in his mid-fourties, the dark-haired glazer rarely looks up from his mixing vats and wheel, but when he does, one notices a far off look in his sea green eyes, as if he sees into a world other than our own. Stanglure lives with a halfling helper, Pars, who can be seen scurrying about constantly monitoring the multiple kilns arrayed in the potter's work yard.

Plothooks:
1. Amorphius never seems to sleep and the glow from his kilns can be seen at all hours of the night. He is said to only apply his glazes in the dead of night, in a ritual only he and his servant know. Recently, a thief was found by the city watch in a nearby ally, visibly shaken and clutching a pottery shard in one hand. He refuses to speak of what happened...
2. A noble has been found dead witin her house. No sign of foul play was present, but she did recently receive a package containing a rare Stanglure Vase which is now missing. Or so her ex-serving maid says...
3. Stanglure is said to get his special clays from a secret source beneath the city, but the other potters dismiss this as fancy. Still, if one were to locate the source of his clays, the other claywrights in the town would pay handsomely...
4. Every new moon, Stanglure closes his shop and disappears for three days. No one has ever found out where he goes, but always upon his return, he seems full of energy and more youthful in his appearance...
