Personal history

Dran'dal was adopted by an elderly rock gnomes couple when he was 10. He lived in a small town, the same town where Hilsetha (Evelyn's character)lives, and His father, Orzu Copperstone, and his mother, Kara Copperstone, owned a small general store/fix-it shop. They fixed broken farming equipment, broken clocks, basically anything mechanical that was in disrepair. They taught Dran'dal their trade which made him well acquainted with fixing things. On his 50th birthday, he was gifted an Alchemist's kit as a present. Soon Dran'dal became obsessed on the subject of alchemy and potions and studied everything about the subject he could find. His parents wanted to help him pursue his interests so they let him stay at what equivalates to a summer camp on alchemy in a large city near their hometown. During the camp, he was noticed for his talents and was chosen and given a scholarship to be taught in the ways of alchemy. Dran'dal was trained as an apprentice by an old lady dwarf named Gurdis Surefoot. She taught Dran'dal on potion making and showed him the ways of Kol Korran, the god of trade and wealth. His family follows Kol Korran as well, but they weren't as devoted as Gurdis and didn't make a big deal about religion. His family barely had enough money to live on, being only small town tinkerers they never had the ability to visit any temples or shrines of their god. When Dran'dal was 100, Gurdis Shurefoot and brought him to a temple of Kol Korran as a gift for the year of his adulthood. At the temple, he believes that the Kol Korran himself appeared before him and told him to:

use his gift to create potions to assist everyday people to help better society. help the folk of the lower class like himself.

To craft what equates to a cure-all that could heal any ailment for any living thing, may it be a plant, a beast, a humanoid, or a demon.

(This may actually be a vision of Kol Korran or it might be something pretending to be Kol Korran, you choose. Either way, Dran'dal believes it to be his god.)
Gordis Shurefoot passed away when Dran'dal was around 120. He was also taught by other various members of the guild and was shown tips and tricks of the trade by his good friend (another dwarf), Flint Brawnfoot. Shortly after Gurdis's death, Dran'dal was working on a potion that would let the user be able to cast Modify Memory. Halfway through the making of the potion, something went wrong and the beaker and its contents exploded and hit Dran'dal. This potion caused two key things to happen to Dran'dal:
His knowledge of how to craft potions is now skewed and he doesn't remember all needed ingredients or how to properly make potions and He forgot that he tried to craft the Modify Memory potion entirely and doesn't really know how he suddenly is now covered in glass and bits of purple goo.

Afterward, Dran'dal hasn't thought that anything is wrong with himself. He sells potions, only some of which work, either from Divine Intervention from his god that makes the potions work in their intended ways, or he somehow puts in the proper ingredients by mistake. (In recent years he has been improving in his potions but his knowledge in using plants and things of the sort is still lacking)

Dran'dal has been in the Alchemist's guild since he graduated from his apprenticeship. He works in the shop his parents owned and turned it into a part apothecary and ailment store part general store and fix-it shop. He is currently working on potions that could let the drinker be able to use a cantrip. Most potions are very expensive and are used only by the elite and wealthy, He wishes to find a way to make a cheap way to craft potions that could help all humanoids. He is trying to make these spells into elixrs:

Message (basically make a telephone but it would only work in small cities in small areas. useful for communication with others at a distance.) LETS USER CAST FOR 10 MIN

Light (Not a potion per say, but an enchanted oil used like regular lamp oil but it gets rid of the risk of a fire actually happening. oil slowly vanishes and the light spell will vanish when the oil is all gone) 1 VIAL=1 HOUR OF LIGHT

Druidcraft (Oil that can be put on a hoe or til or rake. would help farmers where growing crops are difficult, probably would only work for 1 plant but it would help farmers get things started) LETS USER CAST FOR 10 MIN

Mending (Apply the potion to the ruined thing and it'd fix itself. helpful for any profession that works in repairing things.) LETS USER CAST FOR 10 MIN

Produce Flame (Basically a fancier version of a tinderbox.) LETS USER CAST FOR 1 MIN

Mage Hand (used in stuff like mining or anything where you should be a decent distance away from when you do a dangerous action) LETS USER CAST FOR 1 MIN

His mother died at the age of 416 when he was 154, and his father died at the age of 418 when he was 156. When his father died Dran'dal was notified that his parents hadn't finished paying off their shop. Not wanting to give up the shop, he had to use most of his earnings to pay off mortgage payments. He completed the payments when he was 165.
When he was 170 he took on an apprentice, a young dwarf lady named Ryni Broknfist. He relearned a few potions that he forgot and they became good friends. Ryni was like a younger sibling to Dran'dal
. He was given a vision when he was in his 190s from his god that he should venture across the lands to learn and show people his work. He left his store when he was 193, leaving the store and sales to his apprentice. He traveled to his god's nearest temple and worshipped and was taught the ways of the clerics and was given the blessing of Kol Korran. He was taught by the elder clerics of the temple how to use his newfound magical gifts.
He left when he was 195 and checked in with Ryni and told her to give most of his pay to the temple of Kol Korran as an offering and to help him remain humble. He then continued on the quest from his god. He visited a forest where a small town of druids lived and he learned of the Druidcraft cantrip and worked for ten years to make a rough draft of his potion. It is costly (100gp), time-consuming (30 days) and requires rare ingredients, but the start of his work is complete.
He then set out to visit a wizarding school to further study the use of the Light cantrip and its inner workings. He spent 15 years studying this spell as well as the Mage Hand spell. A large majority of his workings on the Mage Hand potion are incomplete but with time can be worked on. He has finalized a version of the Light oil that costs 50gp and takes 5 days to make. The ingredients are fairly cheap but only in certain places and the ingredients are from all over.
Throughout these years he has checked in with Ryni and his shop and is almost done working on and managed to build a small temple to his god in his hometown. for three years he has traveled in search of ingredients to his potions. Now, at age 223, is where he meets his fellow adventurers.
