Farwyn

The goblin, the myth, the legend. Founder of the Goblin Shopping Network.

Description
Male goblin salesperson and director of commerce. Always a colorful soul.

Background
One of matriach Grennel's goblins, Farwyn had a head for trade. He took a big pile of stuff, some magical, some not, and sold it to passersby for gold or trade. When Durnen came around to the Sunken Citadel, it put a crimp in his plans, but nonetheless, he persevered. With a little ingenuity and goblinoid elbow grease, the GSN was born.

"And Even Though I Tried, It All Fell Apart" (1x4)
Harry encountered the Goblin Shopping Network (GSN) and Farwyn (here unnamed), its proprietor and manager, while the group spoke with the goblins. Harry was able to purchase as many caltrops as he liked...without a bag, and Felegum picked up his Ptarmigan book. Zeno purchased the Bag With No Holes and a grappling hook. Harry tried to buy ball bearings, but these turned out to be a bag of rocks. Awk bought them instead. Zeno was warned, very expressly by Farwyn, not to put holes in the Bag With No Holes.

"With You It's Never Good Enough" (1x6)
Awk attempted to buy a book on dragons from the GSN and Farwyn was more than happy to sell him one. Farwyn also could not read, which complicated things. Set, finding no books on medicine, bought a death potion when offered. Helli attempted to steal from the pile and was unsuccessful, alas.

"It's Like I'm Paranoid" (1x16)
The party ran into the GSN and Farwyn again on the way into Paripas. Their giant stuff pile was being toted around via dinosaur and an elaborate folding caravan. The party bought warmer winter clothes from them as they traveled together, and they learned that Farwyn had taken on an assistant goblin, Blank. Farwyn initiated a trade with Helli for a clockwork mouse in exchange for more clockwork pieces. Set offered to trade for food, Zeno offered beer, and lo, the great Deer and Beer Night was had.

"I Fall Upon the Earth, I Call Upon the Air" (1x31)
The group met another of Farwyn's proteges, the goblin Norman, who was setting up shop on the outskirts of Paripas. Farwyn was busy making a name for himself in Paripas undercutting the merchants and generally causing chaos.

"Fear is How I Fall" (1x32)
The party ran into Farwyn again at his Paripas branch, sitting atop a huge pile of stuff. It was easy to see how he was making a name for himself. Sporting a snappy red vest, he informed the party that the goblins would soon be taking to the docks to expand their ventures farther. Business, truly, was booming. Set bought another mysterious Potion of Seizing. Helli came up with a great idea: grab bags. One would not know what one had purchased until after naming an amount. Farwyn was all about it. Helli's 10 gold got her a Pouch of Wind. For 6 gold, another employee (Minkin) brought Harry a jar containing something like a cantaloupe. Lankin bought a disparaging remark for 1 gold. For 1 platinum, Felegum got a 1" red square of fabric that was magical. For 15 gold, Set bought an eel jar. Farwyn sold Zeno a drink for 1 gold, which was very strong, even for the bard.

"Well, I've Lost It All, I'm Just a Silhouette" (1x54)
Not Farwyn specifically, but Pinjin communicated to the party that the GSN has taken to the oceans now in crafts of varying degrees of seaworthiness. This was undoubtedly the work of Farwyn and his global reach.

Relationships
I did not realize how many members of the GSN there were already, my god
