Alabaster Smith

Alabaster Smith

An airship captain and an inventor. Piloting devices of his own devising, Alabaster was raised by an eccentric blacksmith who liked to experiment with various physics supplemented by magic, while he made horseshoes and nails, hooks and bridles, and other sundry goods to earn his living. Alabaster is frankly a genius, but he seems to be the only one who has his same understanding of science. To be fair, he has a deep understanding, being schooled by his parents in methods of magic and of mathematics, he is one of a small number who are able to contain these concepts at the same time. An adventurer since his youth, and never pales at the idea of taking a new device to the test. If befriended, he may well be available to offer transportation and other assistance to players. The current version of his airship requires a crew of six, and lift is provided by a pair of balloons filled with hot air, and directed with rudders and wings made of stabilized paper spread between wooden supports that resemble bat wings, thus giving it the name “The Wampyr”
