In the year 2266wr, a Human Artificer named Joshu Noarok came to the small Dwarvish town Meepo Grew up in, and showed his inventions to the young Kobolds and Dwarves in the town. Meepo even remembers what got him to want to become and artificer: it was a small wrist watch Joshu made with an ogre and his hands as the hands on the clock. From then on Meepo had always had a fascination with magical items and the like. When he was able to, he set out in order to learn the ways of the Artificer. He trained with Joshu to learn the art of the artifice, but would return to Broustra, and with the help of the Dwarves he grew up with in order to have fine dwarven crafting. After Becoming an expert in the creation of Magic items and Artillery, Meepo became world famous for killing monsters that have threatened the lands, and even took down an ancient black dragon with his party. After such a fight, he eventually retired in 2365wr, and set up a shop in Lang-Caster. He owns the Store “Meepo’s Marvelous Magic Market,” and has his own line of magic Items.
