Oswald Overhill
Oswald Overhill is the halfling owner of Oswald's Arcane Antiques and Curiosities. Inspired by what he dubs 'magical general stores' found across many continental cities, he founded his magical general store a generation ago, after managing to secure a plot of land adjacent to Grand Lily Square (which took several years of negotiatiation). The Azure Conventus, alarmed by the sudden influx of powerful artifacts in the city, convened an emergency meeting in order to decide a course of action. Chaired by Angelique Delecour, the Conventus passed the Act on the Exclusionary Protection of Commercial Artifacts. This resulted in the store being assigned a platoon of Republican Guards and also guaranteed the creative and contractual independence of the Arcane Antiques, the latter being almost unprecedented in recent Frankonian history.
Oswald is an eccentric individual. He always carries a set of cards and a flask containing an unknown substance. He alternates his disposition between kind and condescending, based on random intervals. Oswald runs the store alongside Tara Clearwater, his apprentice.
