a new Face at the Crossroads

Gizzlecrink Sparklesnatcher, the notorious entrepreneur of the magical Arena, can be heard cursing and shouting one day. He then packs his bags and hops on his boat, leaving Freehaven.

To the astonished nearby slave he would only shout:

"Ye are all doomed, i tell ye. Save your behinds as long as ye can, before its too late! me be off and out of this sinkhole for good!"
With that he rows of into the darkness...

The same Gnome that left Freehaven without any forewarning, would appear a few days later at the Crossroads with his boat, unpacking his bags and personal belongings. The Gnome obviously plans to stay for a longer time here.
Taking in the new surroundings he nods to himself

"Yes much better, less undead! Me likes much more!"

Terra sees the gnome at the crossroads one day and decides to stop and talk with kin. Its mostly small talk or stories she seems interested in, seemingly happy she found another gnome.
