personal - GemStone IV Family Issues
I can't actually remember the first time that I met Huckster Whuid. However I know that he has made a major impression on me.. to the extent that I have dedicated these scrawlings to him.
Huckster Whuid is a halfling renowned within the lands as much
for his sense of fun as he is for his work creating silk purses from pigs
ears! To refer to him as an alterer however is to minimise his contribution
to the lives of those with whom he interacts. He is, to my mind at least,
one of the most loved personalities within the lands, whose announced
arrivals at events are always hotly anticipated. He has the
ability to control the element of wind and uses this to herald his arrival
and also to playfully reek havoc on those who require a little admonishment. His games of Whuid and Seek are legendary, his giggle
infectious, his work exemplary and his admirers plentiful. These pages are
littered with examples of my own personal interaction with Whuid. One of the
most memorable has to be the modification of a gem that glows when he is
about... not alas a unique item these days - which is totally my own fault - 
but never-the-less a most cherished
one. So loved is this item that I keep it within a container, within a
container, have registered it, marked it as unsellable and give it an
occasional rub to remind myself that he is never far away.
You remove a cloud-etched emerald from in your battered case.
Looking closely at the emerald, you barely notice what appears to be a tiny
halfling waving back at you from atop the cloud.
The emerald pulsates briefly once again.
Huckster Whuid Description
You see Huckster Whuid.
He appears to be a Halfling.
He is tiny and appears to be very young. He has brooding crystal blue eyes and olive skin. He
has cropped, unruly auburn hair. He has a weathered face and a pronounced jawline.
He is wearing a broad-brimmed red felt hat, a crystal amulet, a rich purple woolen backpack, a
sleeveless beaded leather tunic, a tasselled beadwork pouch, some royal purple wool trousers,
and a pair of felt-lined shoes.
However be aware that this is one of many physical appearances for Whuid. His appearance
reflects his mood, so don't be surprised to see a young halfling one day and a wizened one the next.

Ten 'Interesting' Facts about Whuid
- He has mastry over the element of wind
- Metal is his least favourite material to work with - be prepared to pay extra if he agrees.
- His physical appearance reflects his mood
- His age is indeterminable
- He talks to items to be altered.. and they talk back. Don't ask! It's a Whuid thing. A talent I can only compare to that of sculpters who can almost 'hear' and 'see' the design that a lump of marble wants to be.
- Whuid plays a mean game of Whuid and Seek
- Whuid loves tarts
- He has reservations about the disdainful attitude of some warrior types in certain towns - luckily those of Kharm-Dzu are not 'those' types.
- Purple is definitely his colour
- He has a staff of one - a gnarled mistwood staff upon whom he relies to select parties for work.
