== Zeitgeist: The Gears of Revolution ==

Steam and soot darken the skies above the city of Flint, and winds sweeping across its majestic harbor blow the choking products of industrial forges into the fey rainforests that dot its knife-toothed mountains. Since the earliest ages when the people of Risur founded this city, they feared the capricious beings that hid in those fog-shrouded peaks, but now as the march of progress and the demands of national defense turn Flint into a garden for artifice and technology, the old faiths and rituals that kept the lurkers of the woods at bay are being abandoned.

The Unseen Court, the Great Hunt, and the many spirits of the land long ago conquered by Risur’s kings no longer receive tribute, but they cannot enter these new cities of steam and steel to demand their tithe. The impoverished workers who huddle in factory slums fear monsters of a different breed, shadowy children of the new urban labyrinth. Even their modern religions have no defenses against these fiends.

Times are turning. The skyseers—Risur’s folk prophets since their homeland’s birth—witness omens in the starry wheels of heaven, and they warn that a new age is nigh. But what they cannot foresee, hidden beyond the steam and soot of the night sky, is the face of this coming era, the spirit of the age: the zeitgeist.

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.

Zeitgest: The Gears Of Revolution/Visions

2025-03-04T00:50:23Z

Mpascal02: /* Nevard's Visions */

==Duchess' Skyseer's Vision==

''"A globe spins on its axis, and a steel ship sets off to war on a sail of shadows. The world passes into night, and blackness grips all of Risur as the stars fall from the sky. The king’s eyes turn a soulless white, and he moves as a puppet, his strings pulled by a man who has already died a thousand times."''

==Nevard's Visions==

''"I saw a dark figure, standing atop Cauldron Hill, towering over our city. The sun set, and he cast a shadow across Parity Lake, stretching northwest, into the sea, beyond the horizon. He is born in our city, but his ultimate goal is elsewhere. And also things moved in his shadow— indeed, his shadow moved before he did, for while he was mighty, he
was controlled by others."''

''"I saw smoke hiding his face, for he was made mighty by industry. In my vision, a king chased him out to sea and defeated him by slicing him free from his shadow. But the cauldron had already shattered, and many thousands were drowned and devoured in its roil."''

'''Meaning: The dark figure is Mayor Reed Macbannin, who controlled much of Flint's industry, but was only a lower-level member of the Obscurati. His accumulated witchoil stock was about to break containment and would have flooded much of Flint without the team's efforts. (#2: The Last Skyseer)'''

''"I saw three birds alight on the peak, the first of black silk, the second of black steel, both weeping blood. But the third was made of stars, and it sang many songs."''

''"I tell you this: Cauldron Hill is not safe. Twice will danger arise, and twice will we be deceived into thinking it is safe to return, but we must avoid the place and avoid being tricked. I have arranged shelter in the Cloudwood, where people can be safe until the darkness passes."''

'''Meaning: The black silk bird/first danger is the threatened witchoil flood (#2: The Last Skyseer). The black steel bird/second danger was Borne, the colossus. (#5)'''

'''The last is currently unknown.'''

==Nevard's Visions 2==
"I thank you again for saving my life, and allowing me to give out this message. I fear for the citizens in the Nettles, and hope that they can get to safety in time before the darkness I saw arrives. However, you need to know; the speech I gave, it wasn't all I saw that night. There was more to my vision... but I was uncertain as to what these visions mean. I wish to share them with you, perhaps it may be of assistance to you in coming days."

He braces himself, takes another sip, and then starts to recite:

''"A woman sat on a leather couch in a waiting room, surrounded by red curtains. She held a gold coin and rolled it across the back of her fingers. A pick lay against the side of the couch. I asked her what she was waiting for, and she answered in a language I didn’t know, saying, 'The place I’m going isn’t here yet.'"''

'''Meaning: Currently unknown.'''

''"A trumpeter carried a lantern onto the stage of a darkened theater, and the people gathered for his performance applauded, then lit lanterns of their own. The theater never got bright enough for him to see their faces."''

'''Meaning: The trumpeter is Luc Jierre, who developed his lantern to better enable the Obscurati to travel between the Material Plane and the Bleak Gate. However, the party intercepted and captured him as he was about to travel over to the Bleak Gate to have his inaugural meeting with the Obscurati. (#4: Always On Time)'''

''"One man tore himself in two, and his twin selves fought over a woman, tearing her into three, who ran away. Mice skittered around them, collecting cheese fallen amid the rails of a trainyard. Then a train roared down the track past me, but it had no one driving it. In the distance it derailed, and crushed two of the women, but which of the three survived?"''

'''Meaning: Currently unknown.'''

''"A man carrying a bronze staff with three keyholes was assailed by swords and arrows and fire, but nothing killed him. He began to take off his robes, revealing tiger fur beneath them, while stars fell from the sky all around him. Then the sky was dark, and when the sun should have risen, instead a pale glowing cloud floated in the dark."''

'''Meaning: Currently unknown.'''

''"Finally, a tyrant and murderer languished in prison, hanging from twelve chains and hooks that pierced her feet, her legs, her thighs, her shoulders, her arms, and her hands. But the thirteenth hook that sealed her mouth swung loose, and it fluttered in the breeze as she whispered a map that led everywhere."''

'''Meaning: Currently unknown.'''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

Zeitgeist: The Gears of Revolution

== Zeitgeist: The Gears of Revolution ==

Steam and soot darken the skies above the city of Flint, and winds sweeping across its majestic harbor blow the choking products of industrial forges into the fey rainforests that dot its knife-toothed mountains. Since the earliest ages when the people of Risur founded this city, they feared the capricious beings that hid in those fog-shrouded peaks, but now as the march of progress and the demands of national defense turn Flint into a garden for artifice and technology, the old faiths and rituals that kept the lurkers of the woods at bay are being abandoned.

The Unseen Court, the Great Hunt, and the many spirits of the land long ago conquered by Risur’s kings no longer receive tribute, but they cannot enter these new cities of steam and steel to demand their tithe. The impoverished workers who huddle in factory slums fear monsters of a different breed, shadowy children of the new urban labyrinth. Even their modern religions have no defenses against these fiends.

Times are turning. The skyseers—Risur’s folk prophets since their homeland’s birth—witness omens in the starry wheels of heaven, and they warn that a new age is nigh. But what they cannot foresee, hidden beyond the steam and soot of the night sky, is the face of this coming era, the spirit of the age: the zeitgeist.

** Once per turn as a minor action, you can designate the nearest enemy to you that you can see as your quarry.
** Once per round, when you hit your quarry with an attack, the attack deals +2d8 damage (+2 if you have combat advantage vs the quarry). If you can make multiple attacks in a round, you decide which attack to apply the extra damage to after all the attacks are rolled. If you have dealt Hunter’s Quarry damage since the start of your turn, you can’t deal it again until the start of your next turn.

** When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you can make a ranged basic attack with a bow or a crossbow as a free action before or after taking the extra action.

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

Zeitgeist: The Gears of Revolution/Tazaerich/apartment

2025-02-03T00:24:43Z

[[File:TazApartment.png|800px]]

This is the apartment of Tazaerich, in the district of Stray River. Taz lives in a middle-class apartment building in the East Bank area, with a permanent security guard/doorman at the building's door. His apartment is relatively small, but has a lovely view of the sun crossing over Upper Flint Bay; and most days, the smell of cleanish water even drowns out the stink of smoke and industry.

The apartment's main room is plainly decorated, with a comfortable chair and couch facing the sitting table by the front window. A bookcase against the kitchen wall contains a smattering of literature -- a combination of popular fiction & crime novels, a few history & philosophy texts (including William Miller's treatise on hypocrisy), a set of Flint legal codices, and several play scripts. A couple of elven-style tapestries decorate the walls. The dining area has a plain, well-worn table and set of chairs.

The kitchen is extremely well-used, with a small bookshelf by the cabinet, containing a variety of cookbooks -- primarily desert recipes and Elven cuisine. Despite its constant use, its cleanliness shows that Taz takes very good care of all of his cooking equipment. The icebox is invariably filled with various dessert ingredients, as well as things that can be combined in a variety of ways to make plain but tasty meals. Lots of sandwich fillings, too. There is also a Danoran press coffee maker and a healthy supply of coffee beans from Café Primos, up the street.

In the bedroom, Taz has a large, comfortable bed and a small bookshelf with a few novels stacked haphazardly. There is also a dresser and a nightstand. Underneath the bed is his most expensive purchase -- a gun safe where he keeps almost all of his weaponry (with the exception of a pistol secured behind his nightstand). The safe is locked with an Arcane Lock ritual cast by Julia Pemberton, with the passphrase "Potresti gentilmente aprire per me, buona serratura?" (Taz is probably correct in assuming no one would assume he would speak politely in formal Elven in the privacy of his own home.) The phrase is known by his squadmates, Hana Soliogn, and Aquayanna.

In the last few months, there have been a few changes that have occurred in the apartment. Several paintings of nature have been hung throughout the rooms, including a print of Kathana Fricorith's "Lost Elfaivar". A small potted plant sits on the living-room table now. Also, a few sets of women's clothing have taken over a section of Taz's closet, a second toothbrush hangs in his bathroom, and a few Danoran-Risuran dictionaries and language guides have appeared on the bookshelves. This is all certainly a coincidence that has nothing to do with him dating Hana.

....shut up, Dar'ana.

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''

==Bio==
Tazaerich is an elf, ok? Just because he was born and raised in the Parity Lake district of Flint doesn't make him any less of an elf than those hoity-toity hippies out in the wilds! Maybe he can't tell you what it sounds like when the wind whispers fae secrets through the branches of the forests, but he can tell you the best place to get a sausage with probably-pork meat at 3 AM* and where to get a cheap beer afterwards! ....the point is, Tazaerich is proud of his elven heritage, but he loves the city and sees no reason why elves shouldn't treat urban environments as naturally as woodland ones.   
He also speaks Primordial with a thick Brooklyn accent, as do many elves. It's just the way of things.   
In any case, he tends to be drily sarcastic as a means of self-expression, and his personality could be generously derived as abrasive. He's all too happy to pick an argument at the drop of a hat. However, Tazaerich is loyal to his friends, once he makes them, and views arguing as a way to express his friendship. He has come to enjoy the company, especially, of Assistant Chief Inspector-Sergeant Berg and Constable Dar'ana (though he would likely only admit it under extreme duress). Taz made the acquaintance of the eladrin 'terrorist' Hana "Gale" Soliogn several months ago in the course of the squad's investigations, and the two have become something of an established 'item'.**   
Taz, as he's become known in his squad, has settled into life with the RHC well, busting perps with one-liners and happily sniping enemies from a safe distance. His official RHC record makes notes of his surprising tolerance of the RHC's coffee (extra strong, one sugar) and gourmet-level expertise in desserts, due to his sweet tooth. (His preferred donuts, also noted in his record, are chocolate cake, Beaumont Creme, and chocolate-dipped Danoran crullers.) Taz is a founding member of the up-and-coming RHC branch of the Docker's Union, and absolutely did not perform a comedic monologue at the office talent show.   
Since the 'rampage' of the giant golem through Flint, Taz has doubled down on his RHC career. After being knighted by King Aodhan, he took and passed his RHC promotion exams. The thought of Inspector Tazaerich has stunned those who have known him for a long time, but Taz has somehow managed to maintain his anti-authority attitude despite ''becoming'' authority. It's practically Zen.
 ''*It's Sharga's House of Meat in Parity Lake, for the record.''
 ''**....shut up, Dar'ana.''
