Both tool & weapon.
The favored item of

WACE PALLAHAXIS is a member of the Maedar race, a strong underearth-dwelling people with a history mythically dating to the time of the Oublions, the Forgotten Ones. Many of the Maedar know intimately the caverns, tunnels and vast spaces of Varzuun's world beneath the world, an underground realm known as Suternia. Over millennia untold, the Maedar have developed their formidable talents and skills needed to survive in the perilous depths of Suternia.

WACE PALLAHAXIS OF GLEAVES: MAEDAR WARRIOR, GEOMANCER, AND ADVENTURER

⬆ The Maedar mistrust and seldom ever use magic, but a talented few individuals are gifted with the arcane art of GEOMANCY, the deep earth magic. Oddly, in Maedar culture, the geomancers are reverently respected for their strange and unusual talent. WACE PALLAHAXIS is one such Maedar.

DESCENT INTO THE DEPTHS
OF THE EARTH

⬆ Many strange creatures, malevolent and benign, dwell in the depths of Varzuun, in the region known as SUTERNIA. Among them are the Maedar, the Skryllar (the Deep Smolleks), the sinister Carponids and Seeconids, protodragons, carrion crawlers, and the dreaded Worms of the Deep. Wace has encountered many of these frightening and dangerous denizens of the World Beneath the World. Those encounters are what makes Wace a great GUIDE to Suternia, for those who have never before ventured into The World Beneath the World.

GEOMANCY:
THE DEEP EARTH MAGIC

⬆ Wace Pallahaxis is one of the talented few Maedar are endowed with the arcane art of geomancy, the deep earth magic. Geomancers are intimately connected to the Earth, and can read even the faintest details of their surroundings, in ways no others can.

In the confined spaces of Suternia, events and actions can leave an ultra-subtle record on the stones themselves. The geomancer can evoke the stones to 'tell' what has happened, even allowing the geomancer to make maps, find food & water, evade dangers and monsters, etc.

WACE: A BRIEF BIOGRAPHY OF
AN ADVENTURER EXTRAORDINAIRE

⬆ Wace Pallahaxis was born in the rukkum of Gleaves. A rukkum is a close-knit small community (or tribe) of a few dozen Maedar families living and working often in very confined spaces. Many years ago, Wace left Gleaves for the adventuring life, but returns frequently to visit family and friends. His many adventures have taken him throughout Suternia, and even up to the surface world, eventually meeting the human paladin, Sir Flavius Franciscus and quickly forming a friendship with the knight, his young squire, Draven Valencourt, his friend and fellow knight, Branco Vasquez, and many others.

THESE ARE A FEW OF
HIS FAVOURITE THINGS...

⬆ Wace's beverage of choice is often GOLK, a tea-like warm drink, ubiquitous in Maedar culture, made with subterranean mushrooms. He also quite enjoys a variety of ales & stouts made from those mushrooms. Grilled cavernfish and cavesnake meat (which humans call Snakon, as it resembles bacon) often comprise a typical evening meal, while grotto lizard eggs often start the day.
