Members of the Tinkers Guild of House Cannith travel far and wide to peddle their goods and offer repairs. Some travel more widely than others.
Morspeth d’Cannith is both a master artisan and a crafty salesman. Two years ago, Morspeth came across mention of a “bastion of civilization in the midst of the harsh dragon continent.” Intrigued, Morspeth conducted further research. Though he found little information beyond vague descriptions, he did eventually glean a name: Io’lokar.
The desire to visit Io’lokar flared up inside Morspeth. He envisions the city as an oasis of humanoid culture, sheltered from the outside world, and potentially full of riches unlike any on Khorvaire. Secretly he also hopes the citizens of Io’lokar might not recognize the worth of their riches, allowing Morspeth to secure a fortune in trade.
After hiring the best guards he could find, Morspeth packed his finest wares in a portable hole and set out for Argonnessen. He lost half his expedition to Seren barbarian attacks, and now travels across the continent proper. The rest of his team, terrified and homesick, simply wants to return to Khorvaire, but Morspeth eggs them on with tales of the unimaginable riches waiting in Io’lokar.
Morspeth and his team, two magewrights of House Cannith (ECS 232) and two hired House Tharashk bounty hunters (ECS 238), have survived mostly by luck so far. Should they encounter a team of competent adventurers, Morspeth offers a share of the trade for an escort to Io’lokar—though when he arrives, Morspeth finds the city completely unlike the one in his imagination.
If Morspeth doesn’t encounter aid, he and his team meet a grisly death long before reaching Io’lokar.
