The Completed Works of Flortex Fizzlehide

Out of character
This is just a blurb about the written works of the famous gnomish author, Flortex Fizzlehide. Sikander has a pretty close connection with this author. But this is more or less about adding some color. Broken into Fiction and Non-Fiction
Very cool! Tell me a bit about Flortex! Is he still alive, or is he a revered but dead author?
Flortex Fizzlehide is actually the pen name for one of Sikander's sisters (he has several!). Her family name is A'flora Merrycrest and she plays the role of big sister to Sikander (even though she's a halfling). She has many eclectic interests as you can see by her titles. She is very much alive but is viewed as a scholar extraordinaire along the Coast.
(I'll draft more about her and the rest of the family later. They're a complicated bunch. You've been forewarned!)
Sweet A'flora...really want to get a copy of Paxidar, the Elven Arsonist someday...
