 About the Narrator
Toburny Lynnris – Goliath Vagabond
Description: A hulking man with large muscles; when looking upon him
you wonder if he comes from a race of giants. Toburny Lynnris, in fact,
comes from the traces of the Goliath race, but seems to have absorbed
the more human side than his stone giant heritage would give thought.
He wears loose pants that look as if they might have been made of cloth
once, but years of wear and tear have found them patched with all sorts
of leathers. A sleeveless black leather made from some unknown
creature rests upon his torso, but of course to Toburny Lynnris, sleeves
only restrict movement. His brown eyes dart around the room,
hyperactively observing anyone and everything. But only when he
is not wearing his one-of-a-kind set of goggles.

Personality: He is a large man who does what he needs to while

traveling all around the realms. He is a jovial happy person but at times
can admit a tone of over seriousness. He is convinced people are living
their lives too quickly and would do far better traveling the realms as he
does. He spends most of his days drinking in the Inn, the rowdiest and
most dangerous establishment in town. There he gambles, wrestles, and
listens to stories told by travelers. That is, of course, when he is not
traveling across the realms on his next adventure.

History: Toburny Lynnris was born to a poor family of goliaths who were
trapped mining resources from the earth. As any good son, he found
himself doing exactly what his family and ancestors had done for years,
but when his brother died his life took a different direction. The winds of
travel led him to traverse the realms where many adventures took place.
His adventures brought him across hundreds of animals, travelers, and
ways to get there. For some reason he had a fondness for hags and their
antics, but also kept a safe distance. Yet, no matter the terrain, roads, or
issues, he always found himself back home.

Description
The racial makeup of the tribe varies quite a
bit. Wandering women of solid stature and
constitution may be incorporated into the
tribe. Returning members with children in
tow may gather outcast women during their
journey. War paint in bright colors is both
ornamental and depicts status. Matriarchal
lineage and clan pod are tattooed upon
adult members. Within the main group,
everyone wears similar clothing of leather
and fur. These are layered to allow them to
dress for the weather. Occasional trade may
grant them access to woven cloths and
silks. But, these materials don’t stand the
test of time and battle as well as hide. Extra
decoration may be done with bone, stone,
mother-of-pearl, and wooden beads.

Events
When a member of the tribe reaches full
maturity, she sets forth on a journey to
other civilizations. This is to experience the
world beyond and select a suitable mate.
The tribe initially sends groups for
protection. Where each individual stops is
up to them. As each debutante meets a
strong, suitable individual, the group leaves
her behind. Everyone is then free to pursue
the matchmaking. Some women wonder for
a decade or more in pursuit of a worthy
stud.

Description
Members of the Paleclaw Clan range in race.
This is due other followers of the Goddess of
Flame joining their troop, some converted
and some not. The original members are
human, pale in complexion with flame-
bright hair. Despite spending much of their
time in the sun, they do not burn nor tan.
Freckles like speckled ash dot their forms.
Clothes are often forgone. Sashes, belts, and
minor jewelry may be worn for utility. The
clan will unfold their sashes into temporary
garments when nearing a settlement. In
colder weather, blankets may be fastened
into cloaks and robes. Simple accessories
are made out of bone and other trophies.
These pieces are often pierced through a
piece of hide and secured around the upper
arm or leg. Like many followers of Sestia,
they mark their foreheads with a symbol of
ash. Charcoal is often used to add streaks of
black to the hair, or to make creative
designs upon the skin for fun. The hands of
many clan members are often blackened
from handling charcoal so often.

Personality Traits:

Motivation: Some might say that Ruby is
too young to have true motivation but she
has some. Though she loves this clan and
her people, she wants to see more than
what they can offer her. Traveling is
broadening her horizons both
metaphorically and literally but she wants

Occupation: None.
Feats/Skills: None.
History: She is the youngest grandchild to
Bru’lar Reeze. Bru’lar is an elder that has
served since he was very young and is
considered one of the most influential and
noteworthy people on the council of elders.
If there was a leader of the Paleclaw Clan,
he might be it. He would never accept such
a title but it would likely be thrust upon his
head. As such, Ruby has been pegged as his
successor and no one is very aware of the
fact that she has no interest of remaining
within the clan. She met a kind woman in
an encounter at a village that taught her a
small bit of useful information about plants
and has latched onto that as her dream for
the future. She’s beginning to realize that
she is going to have to tell someone about

The giants of the Sapphireforged Clan are
Proficiencies: Wisdom Saving Throw +7, huge beings of snow and ice. Their skin is
Insight +7, Perception +7 often pale blue in color, but some range
Class & Level: No class. from deep gray to navy in coloration. Long
hair and beards are similarly colored in
white, grey, and blue. Their eyes seem to
glow like a backlit glacier, often in white,
blue, or aquamarine. They stand around
twenty feet in height and often have lean,
muscular builds hidden under layers of fur
and armor. The clothing of these giants is
crudely created by lashing together stolen
materials, or from the hastily prepared
skins of slain creatures. The furs aren’t
worn for need of warmth, but to create the
illusion of a larger physique. War-paint may
be applied to the skin and clothing of
members. These pigments are usually
created from ash, blood, and bone mixed
with boiled fat. The stylized carvings on the
frost giants’ ships often give inspiration for
their face paint designs.

Events
Many adventurers have met their end trying
to defeat these seafaring giants. One of the
only times they came close was through the
partnership with a white dragon. Some
worshippers of dragonkind bribed an
ancient dragon titled God-Hunter to attack
the frost giants. These cultists aided their
draconic lord in his siege against the stolen
forts of the clan. Only the powerful druidic
magic of the elder shamans was able to
finally defeat the dragon and his cohorts.
This victory allowed bestial forms to

Greg Gray
Quote: “You need something to ride!”
Physical Description: Greg Gray is one of
the most average looking individuals that
anyone may ever cross paths with. He is
objectively handsome with a strong jaw that
is covered in neatly-kept stubble. He is tall,
muscular, but ultimately blends into a
crowd so fiercely that most people don’t
actually remember meeting him after they
encounter him for the first time. He wears a
white shirt that is unbuttoned a little too far
and a different color vest every day of the
week. Hanging from his chapped lips is a
poorly rolled cigar that somehow is always
lit even though he never seems to replace it.
Personality Traits:
● Unremarkable ● Untrustworthy
● Average ● Jaunty ● Sleezy
Motivation: All Greg wants is to make a
quick buck. His wares are not terribly well
made and though they will do the trick he
upsells them with promises that he cannot
really uphold. He wants to be wealthy and
important. The circumstances around his
life don’t exactly allow for such a thing but
he genuinely believes that if he continues to
meet the right people (something he cares
very deeply about) that he might be able to
break through the glass ceiling and make
himself important to someone that matters.
Occupation: Saddler
Popular Items: Leather materials, saddles,
mount tack, and holsters
History: The son of a servant, Greg started
out at a young age making friends with
people that others bowed to and respected.

- The Language

Alphabet
Tandel uses a standard alphabet as
Common does, with each sound represented Writing Words
by a letter. The charts below list the symbol When writing a Tandel word, simply copy
and the Commonized form. See Phonology, the spelling, as is, from the dictionary, with
for specific information regarding the exception of there being a single symbol

Let us examine the following word, Tandel:
Letterforms
a b

c ch Starting on the left and moving right, we

have T-A-N-D-E-L forming the word Tandel.

d e Punctuation
Tandel includes spaces between words,
though when being used for Traveler’s Code,
it is not uncommon for there to be no
f g distinction between words at all. Between
sentences, Tandel includes something
similar to our period, slightly larger. While
there isn’t an equivalent to the Common
comma, some authors include a short
i j underscore ( _ ) where they would take a
pause, similar to the way a comma is used.
Because of the sentence changes for
questions, it is naturally understood and,
k l thus, a special marker for questions has not
been developed.
A mark for surprise or intrigue similar to
our exclamation point is shaped like a
m n lowercase t: †. When used in standard
writing, this mark is virtually identical to
our exclamation point; however, when found
etched onto signage, it generally means that
there is a code hidden somewhere. Traveler
o p circles also often use this symbol in writing
to mean that there is a hidden or alternate
meaning. Typically, this is the sentence
before, but could also mean to look at the
r s first letter of each word, or the first letter of
each line. Generally, friends who write to
each other in this manner will know where
to look or there will be some other subtle
indicator, such as a mark that looks like
t u blotched ink or a crease in the paper.

Singular for different conditions:

meep would…if
Dictionary
Present ked segbee prab should…if
Form
med might…if
Note that if a verb ends in a vowel, the Past
suffix starts with n. Also, take care to note that
the spelling changes to maintain the base word’s These conditions correspond exactly to
original pronunciation. Common, except that they also carry the
meaning if, so there is no need to include this

Zii ked fend pi metut. in Syntax.
I’m going to the valley. Zii fend pi metut meep ked zii scrazej ii
sfumbol.
I would go to the valley if I had a horse.
Future Tense
The future tense is formed by adding the word
tudfa, will, before the verb in the Present Tense: Like Common, the Conditional implies a Future
tense, despite not including the appropriate
Zii tudfa ked fend pi metut. future helper word. Additionally, by putting the
I will go to the valley. verb in the past tense, it implies the event would
have taken place, if the condition was met i:
Zii fend pi metut fotee keddej zii scrazej ii
sfumbol.
I could have gone to the valley if I had a horse.

Imperative Mood This chart will explain how Tandel converts
words from one part of speech to another.
The Imperative is the command form of a verb. Tandel only uses suffixes to derive new words,
In Common, we drop the subject (you) and say as shown in the chart below:
the verb without any additional endings.
Compare:
� You work hard. Convert From Convert To Suffix
� Work hard. Adjective Adverb -pi
Adjective Noun -bon
Like Common, Tandel drops the pronoun. It Adjective Verb -af
does, however, replace it with the helper word,
doo. The imperative can only appear in the Noun Adjective -burk
second person present tense: (having the quality of)
Maal ked fend pi metut. Noun Adjective -vak
(relating to)
You’re going to the valley.
Noun Verb -pilk
Doo ked fend pi metut.
Verb Adjective -onk
Go to the valley. (result of doing [verb])
Verb Adjective -erg
(likely to do [verb])
Copula
Verb Noun -ef
A copula links a subject to a subject (the act of [verb])
compliment; it ties two things together, as in
Common is, are, am, etc. Common’s copula to Verb Noun -gerg
be can cover a wide variety of uses. Tandel is (produced from [verb])
nearly identical, with sfutaj taking the role of One who… (e.g. bake -> baker) -ef
the copula while also being altered depending on
the role of the subject in the sentence: Place of… (e.g. bake -> bakery) -dend
Diminutive (e.g. cute -> cutie) -ent
Past Singular Plural Augmentative (e.g. aunt -> greataunt) -uj
1st Person pef was pes were
2nd Person pet wert pes were Remember! The base word must maintain its
original pronunciation, so you may need to
3rd Person sfej was sfej were adjust the spelling of the word after adding the
Present endings above.

The sky is blue. Word Order
Word order in Tandel is nearly identical to that
of Common. The general order of words is
Derivational Endings Subject-Verb-Object-Oblique. Adjectives and
Derivational endings allow for words to change adverbs precede the words they describe, while
from one part of speech to another. Common adpositions precede them. Besides the unique

the -er ending, you can change a verb into a simple sentences have a nearly identical word

painter) or use the -able ending to change a verb translate to and from Tandel.

SUBJECT (Article + Adjectives + Noun) As mentioned earlier, Tandel has a peculiar
word order when using the Conditional. Let us

Reflexives When negating a clause where the referent has

A reflexive refers to a previously named noun in been dropped, lon follows the conjunction:

by adding -self or –selves. In Tandel, add kem to Mee cactellej pi pen see pi mood, yach mee
the end of a possessive pronoun to serve as the lon cactellej pi mopood.
reflexive: He saw the stage play in the city, but he did

Tandel does not have an Active/Passive voice
distinction. Common speakers should be careful
to ensure that they are working with sentences Questions
that are only in the active voice, or put them Yes/No Questions
into the active voice before translating.
Converting a sentence to a question is quite

Interrogative Questions Class: Sounds

Interrogative questions are formed similarly to Beginning Consonants: m k j p n s t b l g d f ʧ r
Yes/No Questions. The Interrogative word (who, z ʤ v tr dr pr skr fr fl sl br kr sn sk pl sm gr sf

Start with a consonant from the Beginning

Consonants and then follow it with a vowel. You
may choose to end your word now, creating a
simple one-syllable word or, you may use the
Middle Consonants. You may repeat adding
Middle Consonants and Vowels as many times
as you’d like; however, words in Tandel are
typically fewer than three syllables. Longer
words tend to be a result of affixes or compound
words. Consider whether your word can be
created by using these before creating a new
word, as this tends to be a more natural
solution.

When borrowing words from other languages,

including Common, you must still follow this
chart. Thus, you may need to change a
consonant sound to a similar-sounding one in
Tandel (such as sh to ch; or th to s). Keep track
of the substitutions you decide to make and be
consistent each time that substitution becomes
necessary. You may also need to add vowels
where there were none; typically, the vowel that
is chosen in this case is u.
