Trader Tindle's shop in Crossing -- Tindle's Weapons, Ores, and More -- is reflective of his obsession with hacking on rocks in a never-ending search for rare metals. It's not that he thinks they're pretty. They're just worth a lot of money, and he's keen on money.

Upon returning to the Realms with his family after a ten-year voyage so far beyond the Barrier that he returned from the other direction, he has dedicated himself to acquiring the finer things and traveling throughout Elanthia. While not anti-social, he's not particularly social, driven by the pursuits of business and the matter-of-fact completion of a fair deal.

Frequent shoppers at Tindle's will note that his prices are quite competitive and swing lower to higher and back again as a function of his available stock and the generosity of the mines.

Also of note, Tindle has partnered with renowned weaponmaster Squanto, and Tindle's Weapons, Ores, and More is an authorized dealer of Squanto-made weaponry. A full discussion of Squanto's weaponmaking can be found here, at Squanto's rare metal weapons page [[1]].

Trader Tindle has a triangular face, pointed ears, almond-shaped green eyes bedecked with platinum-rimmed spectacles, and a straight nose. His russet hair is long and curly, and he has copper skin and a slender build. He's shorter than most elves and handsome in a rather professorial manner.

"The family, we take our mining seriously," says Tindle.
