It was a long flight to the Dorella System from Tavya, but there have been longer trips. Bi-Tai insisted that this ‘Kem Jelnu’ had pieces of Jedi Link Armor that would connect with Iwa’s existing set. To ease the way, Bi sent an ancient relic to deliver to Kem Jelnu: a jade statue of a flowering vine that glowed with a faint inner light. A relic called a 'Hearthstone'.
You’re standing outside the Brass Spanner Trade and Craft in the Urmbrek Market in Nelden on the planet of Dorella. All around you there is the scent of the Dorella migrating trees outside town, roasting meat or vegetables on Dorellan kabobs, and the light odor from a spice merchant nearby.
Conversations from knots of people wandering the market fill the air, giving the area a light, relaxing atmosphere. It wouldn’t be unusual if the world of Dorella wasn’t known for considering ‘organized crime’ an honorable, and taxable, career.
The Brass Spanner seems to be another unusual aspect of Dorella. Among the food stalls, fruit stands, fishing and mining merchants… there is this small nook of an ‘antiques shop’.
That, based on the displays, sells antique armor, weapons, and more. A wide definition of the term ‘antique’ to be sure.
Inside, you see an IG series assassin droid wearing a leather apron notice you standing outside. The droid does a sharp double take, then quickly vanishes between the shelves. A moment later, a larger figure walks out the front.
As tall as a wookiee, he’s almost twice as broad in the shoulder. He’s dressed in simple clothes from work trousers, heavy boots, linen shirt to a battered vest. There is a faded patch from the Rebel Alliance over one breast pocket.
What makes him stand out is from trunk, ears, tusks and all. He’s one of the rare pachydermoid species. One of the Cragmoloid people.
