Fizzlethorpe Bristlebane
The King of Thieves
The god of fun and mischief, Bristlebane loves jokes, pranks, and having fun, often at others expense. As a result, his alignment is chaotic neutral. He is also commonly referred to by his full name: Fizzlethorpe Bristlebane. Bards, rogues, thieves, and entertainers revere him, though any are welcome who appreciate the values of wit, humor, quick thinking, and charm. His followers are rarely of the lawful alignment.
History
Bristlebane discovered the world of Norrath around the same time as Cazic Thule. Tunare, Prexus, Brell Serilis, and of course Veeshan had already populated the world with their creations. He was drawn to the thickets of Norrath, and that is where he created the halflings of the world. A short, stocky race of people with an affinity to nature and a love of mischief.Followers
Those who claim Bristlebane as their god are all about having fun above all other things. Bards and rogues the most common devotees, but there are a great many gyspies that worship him as well. Mischief is encouraged heavily among the King of Thieves' followers. While other religions focus on honor, fear, or peace, these clever and witty tricksters have rituals consisting of practical jokes. Followers of other gods may sometimes find these mischief makers annoying, but very few of them have evil intentions. During the History of Norrath, the most devout followers of Bristlebane are the halflings of Rivervale, where a chapel has been erected in honor of the King of Thieves.Avatar
In Norrathian art, Bristlebane is depicted in many different ways. Sometimes as a halfling, sometimes as a court jester, sometimes as a singing bard, he is known to take various forms and often use illusions in his trickery. When adventurers discovered the Plane of Mischief in the Temple of Veeshan during the Age of Turmoil, Bristlebane manifested himself as an oversized Halfling, hiding his true form even in his own realm.Lineage
