The door to the Tower's Shard opens, and a man of average height, wrapped in academic robes walks into the room. The hood of his robes obscures his face from the side, but from the front, a violet face observes his surroundings through white, glowing eyes.
His robes are wrapped tight around his body and gathered between his legs to make the hem seem like pants. He looks more like an ornately mummified king, than a traveller, but his manner of step betrays that he is not noble. In fact, this outfit is probably the only clothing he owns. It is regal, but stained with mud, dust, food, and ink.
As he walks, he leans on a staff that appears as if it has seen better days. It is worn, twisted, and has the look of having been struck by lightning. Surprisingly, it doesn't even bend as he puts his full weight on it.
Strapped to his back (because he is too short to carry it at his waist) is an ENORMOUS, two-handed blade, the hilt of which extends from above his head down to below his waist.
He slides up to the bar and takes a stool waiting for the bored-looking bartender to turn his way...
"Hello. My name is Arkavas. I'm from Fairhaven up in Aundair, and I would love to do a little 'field research,' if you know what I mean. Do you know anyone who might be willing to fund my 'academic' pursuits"

This place hasn't seen a post in nearly two weeks. Is anyone in the tavern? I'm not approved yet, but I figured I'd hang out here until an adventure comes along. Ministats forthcoming[/sblock]
