![[Ralvin.png]] --- **Ralvin Tumblebrook** was always gifted with a silver tongue and an eye for opportunity. Born into a modest [[Halflings|Halfling]] caravan, he spent his youth traversing the Sword Coast, selling everything from "dragon tooth" necklaces to vials of "authentic invisibility dust." Though his charming grin and friendly demeanour made him popular in every village, few suspected that his wares were little more than clever forgeries and colourful fakes. Ralvin soon perfected his art, crafting elaborate stories to give each trinket value beyond mere coin. His travels brought him fame and fortune, but also plenty of trouble, angry customers, suspicious guards, and rival merchants were a constant threat. Eventually, a particularly ambitious scheme involving counterfeit "blessed potions" angered a powerful wizard, forcing Ralvin to abandon his caravan and flee. Now, operating alone and more carefully than ever, Ralvin seeks fresh towns and gullible faces to sell his latest curiosities. But beneath his carefree persona, he dreams of someday leaving the risks of the con behind, perhaps after one final, legendary sale that secures his fortune forever. Until then, every new town is another stage, and every new face another mark.
