Jallah

Jallah, Eldest of the Druids, was the tutor of the Ancient Circle of Druids. An old, wizened man, his leather skin is as almost brown as the robe he wears. In times past, he knew both Jahalen of Sparrow's Rest and Thaa'lis of the Aalen Forest.

Jallah's Wares

a polished amber pot

Formed from warmly hued amber, this pot has been polished until smooth to the touch. Circling around the exterior of the pot's top, depictions of a variety of herbs can be found, each deeply carved and filled with pale gold, allowing them to stand out against the surrounding material. Inside the pot, along the very bottom, a minuscule representation of a large ash tree has been lightly etched within a circle.

a cobalt suede satchel

Crafted from soft but durable suede, this cobalt satchel is just the proper hue to remind one of a darkening afternoon sky or the still of the deep ocean before a storm. The finest of silver furs lines the inside of the satchel, protecting its contents from harm. A knotted fringe decorates the end of the flap, upon which two criss-crossing branches of oak and ash have been carefully painted. A few elegant eagle feathers decorate the satchel, where the ends of the sturdy adjustable strap meet on both sides.

an exquisitely carved sandalwood vial

Emitting a light, faintly sweet scent reminiscent of airy forest groves flooded in sunshine, this sandalwood vial appears almost to glow from its polished sheen. Fashioned along the edges of the vial are leafy kuzu vines that form a detailed border, encasing the more elaborate carvings on its main body. An intricately crafted nightingale, its wings unfurled in joyous abandon, is depicted against a backdrop of leaves within the canopy of an oak tree. The bird is shown lifting its face toward the sun, its beak open in song. Two tiny lapis lazuli cabochons, lustrous and a deep blue hue, have been inserted for the eyes.

a striking amber vial

Carved from dark, semi-transparent amber, this vial has been carefully crafted into the shape of a small gourd. Etched into the warm, polished surface is a magnificent oak tree, outlined in pale gold and accented by tiny, leaf-shaped emeralds. The long, thin neck of the vial is criss-crossed by a sturdy leather thong, allowing it to be tied easily about the neck, or to the side of one's pack. Keeping the vial's contents from leaking, a sturdy cork topped by a round piece of amber is stuck firmly into the opening.
