Werte Titat

**Werte Titat** is the ripler assistant of Nork the Plunderer, the master of the Burnhall Adventurers Guild. Nork rules the guild as its public head and gets all the honour for the guild's success. Meanwhile it is Werte who makes sure the guild's administration is in order, that dues are paid, and that this ever sinking ship functions in any way. He hopes one day become the public head of the guild ones Nork retires.

Werte has a lot of bad things to say about Nork the Plunderer. He is an idiot who thinks more with his fists than with his brain, he is loud mouthed, and he couldn't even run market stall successfully. But despite all this Werte would still say that Nork is his best friend, and he would go through fire to save that lovable idiot. To his staff at the guildhall he is strict but fair. He is always kind to them and is often known to turn a blind eye when someone screws up and there is none around.

## Description

Werte is not very buff, often appearing as a weak bureaucrat who couldn't even wield a dagger if he wants to. He seems especial meagre when standing next to his boss and best friend Nork. He has a long lizard-like tail and two pair of spiralling horns on his head. Werte often wears a green harem pants and a yellow vest. He also wears a pair of decorative glasses because of his bad eyesight from before he was transformed.

### Personality

Werte often means well, but he can come over as somewhat of a hothead. He always has the guild's best intentions in mind but is known to be rather harsh against those who do not meet his expectations or put the guild to shame. Werte can also be an nervous wreck when things do not go according to his expectations.

## History

When Werte was 25 he worked as a scribe at a Magictech university in the year 3030 AD. One day one of the professors asked him for assistance with one of his experiments. The professor was working on a reversed-time accelerinator which would slow down the ageing process and he needed a willing tests subject to tests it with. Werte stepped into the machine, and at first everything seemed to go to plan, until he saw the doctor outside panicking and pulling levers. The machine began to make a loud hum and everything began to shake. Werte tried to push the door open and escape but it was of no use. The hum became deafening and then everything disappeared with a bright flash.

When Werte woke up he was no longer in the university, but in a dusty grassland. Confused he began to check around him to see if there was anything he could recognise or anyone to help him. Suddenly something slithered next to his body and he jumped with a shriek. It was then he realised it was just his own tail. Wait his own tail! He never had a tail before! He jumped again, and then began to cry for he realised he had become a ripler stuck in the year 1453 AD.

For some days Werte travelled around until he met a young Orc called Nork who dreamed of adventure. Werte joined him because it wasn't like he could go back to his own place and together they became one of the greatest adventuring duos to ever roam the realm. Nork became famous and together they made enough money to found a Adventures guild in Burnthall with Nork at the top and Werte as his assistant.
