Aven Creldan

Aven Creldan is a human bard in a wine-red coat, with a polished lute and silver rings on every finger. He flatters nobles, mocks beggars, and changes his songs when the crowd turns against him. His verses expose private scandals, start tavern fights, and praise whichever killer pays first. Aven keeps the teeth of defeated rivals in a velvet pouch beneath his shirt.
