Darelli Gammathumalshire
Darelli found his calling when he discovered a pouch full of assorted coins on the body of a dead adventurer not far from his family home in Brastlewark, in eastern Cheliax. He quickly became obsessed with the coins, with their strange shapes and unknown faces, and from then on, his purpose was clear. Darelli’s knack for collecting coins eventually drove him away from his gnome-centered world. Two decades of travel finally brought him to the 5000-year-old city at the center of the world, where coins from around the whole globe and from all eras of history trade hands every day, and there’s always something new to discover. In Absalom he also met the love of his life, friendly, dependable Bagwell Thomkin, who encouraged Darelli to turn his collecting into a business. Darelli agreed on the condition that Bagwell marry him and run the back office, and together they opened Concurrent Currency in the Dock District about 20 years ago. Darelli rarely leaves the shop, and adores his interactions with all the customers who stop by, always eager to hear their stories and (especially) to see what odd coins they have to offer him. Darelli grows completely silent when examining a strange coin, a massive grin plastered across his face as he works out its mysteries. He is otherwise chipper and talkative, genuinely curious and inquisitive. He winks a lot, as if always bringing one in on a private joke, and he never, ever wears shoes. “Can’t let Bagwell go around feeling naked all the time,” he often jests. Darelli wears a bright gold band on the middle toe of his left foot, which clicks distinctively whenever he takes a step. His best customer is Lord Oved Blakros, Absalom’s foremost catacomb coin collector, and the source of a significant—perhaps dangerous—percentage of the shop’s income.
