Blaz Merrymar

Blaz Merrymar was a strongheart halfling merchant in the village of Shining Falls in the Delimbiyr Vale in the mid-to-late 14 century DR.

Relations
He was the husband of Rinyon Merrymar. Together, they had two daughters and four sons, as well a number of nephews.

Activities
Blaz owned Merrymar's Merchandise, the only general store in Shining Falls. While Rinyon and their children handled the day-to-day running of the store, Blaz procured goods for the store. He had exclusive deals with all the crafters in the village so that only he could sell their wares to outsiders. Fortunately, his reasonable commissions from fellow halflings and fair prices for customers made this monopoly profitable for all.

However, he spent much of his time engaging in a variety of get-rich-quick schemes. In mid-1372 DR, his fixation was helping village leader Deogol Fengrath to discover the dwarven complex thought to lie behind the Shining Falls, after which the village was named. Rinyon thought this was foolish.

Personality
He was a good judge of character and a knack for getting customers to pay appropriate prices, such as by guilting them into it. He was skilled in such negotiation and deception.

History
In the summer of, goods meant for Merrymar's Merchandise were raided on the road by bandits, thought to be orcs of the High Forest. Tragically, Blaz and Rinyon lost not only merchandise but also all four of their sons and three of their nephews, leaving the extended family decimated and the store understaffed. Rinyon and her two daughters were left to run it alone while Blaz went on the road as a merchant.
