Thiswell

Ulias Baradar Thiswell is the unofficial magical liaison to The Hand of Sirius from what passes for the Gnomish government. A wizard by trade, he is involved with some sort of mysterious project to match the deadly power of the Kua Toa monitors, which somehow involves the Colana Dialiah.
An amiable fellow, he enjoys talking about his work to anybody with sufficient security clearance, especially attractive lady gnomes.
