Nebuchadnezzar

Nebuchadnezzar is a retired shipwright and one of Fallcrest's two dwarves (the other being Marduk). He lives in a cottage on the north side of the city. Often being subjected to racial slurs from drunken abusers, both civilians and guards, Nebuchadnezzar is something of a recluse.

Many of the townsfolk bear no resentment toward dwarves anymore and Mary the dockmaster is one of them. Whenever a ship needs building she pays Nebuchadnezzar a visit, offering him a pocket full of coins for his sage wisdom. In reality, as Mary has some scarring memories of dwarves being beaten by her own race and sees the verbal abuse Nebuchadnezzar suffers, she attempts to boost his self-esteem by asking for advice she appreciates but doesn't really need and his happiness by having at least one halfling in town treat him with respect.

Rumor of magicapability
There are no openly magical people in Fallcrest though there are some rumours of people being magic. More often than not these are just sprung out of spite or misunderstanding. One of the current rumors going around is that Nebuchadnezzar is a practicer of dwarven magic. Most dismiss the story off the bat, but some turn away when he walks down the street.

As in most of Luiren, magic is rare and widely distrusted. Lynchings are not unheard of, and although illegal and punished they are not as thoroughly investigated when it is clear the victim was indeed magicapable.
