Cornelius Moonstone
Cornelius Moonstone, a lively and charismatic gnome, was born into a family of performers in a traveling circus. From an early age, he showed a natural affinity for the stage. With his bright blue eyes, ruddy cheeks, and a charming smile that could melt hearts, Cornelius had the ability to captivate audiences and leave them wanting more.
As he grew older, Cornelius developed a deep bond with a donkey named Lord Barnum, who had been part of the circus for as long as he could remember. Lord Barnum, with his wise eyes and gentle demeanor, became Cornelius' confidant and closest companion. The duo would often spend their free time exploring the towns they visited, finding joy in the simple pleasures life had to offer.
When the circus fell upon hard times and disbanded, Cornelius found himself in a world of uncertainty. It was during this challenging period that he crossed paths with the Radiant Revelries, an upscale and renowned brothel known for its extravagant performances. Drawn by his love for the stage and the opportunity to bring joy to others, Cornelius approached the establishment, offering his talents as a stage announcer.
The owner of the Radiant Revelries, Lady Rosalind Ravencroft, recognized Cornelius' natural charm and quick wit, and he was soon welcomed into the fold. As the stage announcer, Cornelius became an integral part of the brothel's nightly performances, introducing the captivating courtesans with poetic flair and enchanting the audience with his lively banter. His unique ability to create an atmosphere of anticipation and excitement made him a beloved figure among both the staff and patrons.
Through it all, Lord Barnum remained Cornelius' steadfast companion. The donkey would often be found backstage, quietly observing the hustle and bustle of the brothel while Cornelius prepared for the evening's events. Together, they faced the challenges and joys of their chosen path, forming an unbreakable bond that went beyond words.
Cornelius Moonstone and Lord Barnum brought an air of magic and whimsy to the Radiant Revelries, creating an experience that left a lasting impression on all who visited. Their friendship and devotion to their craft served as a reminder that true companionship and the pursuit of joy can be found even in unexpected places.
