Who is Gammond Brandyford?

Character Description

Gammond Brandyford is a lightfoot halfling male in his mid-twenties. I like to say that he’s about as much a halfling as a halfling can be.

Born and raised in Pondaroak in Aymes Parish, he left when he was around seventeen to explore the world.

Gammond is a rogue, a pick-pocket, and he’s severely fearless and foolish. Gammond doesn’t give a crap; he’s a smallfoot sociopath. And maybe a tad divergent?

He’s an adventurer and a journalist; he sends his journals back home where they’re published as volumes of popular stories. He has curly ruddy hair and green eyes, or blue? Depends on the light.

He carries a leather satchel with inkwells and parchment and journals. His satchel plays a big part in nearly every one of his stories.

He has a deep scar on his right arm that was earned from bargaining with goblins.

Gammond has a pal, an animated amulet named Vongur.

Stories

Gammond Brandyford was a halfling hero in a D&D campaign that I ran between 2013-2018. His stories figured prominently in the campaign and he’s the whole inspiration for Aevalorn Tales. When I write his stories, I’m usually taking a playful voice as a narrator and will occasionally break the 4th wall where I’m speaking directly to the reader. Often I feel like I get into a Douglas Adams headspace with this character. His stories are silly and fun.
