Trigwocket

Trigwocket is a Gnome alchemist, and founder of the gnome nation of Trigwocket. An important figure in the years following the Scientarian Revolution, Trigwocket has been involved in fights against the Scientarian Empire, Phentis, and more.

Early Life
Born in 48 bsr to a travelling gnome family in the Dorry Hills, Trigwocket quickly found his obsession in science. From a young age, wherever his family travelled Trigwocket was enraptured by the scientific advances that were being produced in the cities. He always was frustrated when his parents would force him to move along, as the gnomish convention of nonstop travel was non-conducive to proper study and experimentation. It was this experience that made Trigwocket desire a settled nation for gnomes that wanted to live a more stable lifestyle. At the age of 33, he ran away from his parents and went to study at Shiron Alchemical College. Enraptured by the power of explosive compounds, Trigwocket became an expert bomb maker and interested in the use of scientific advances to make changes in the world. He moved to Kurosekai, the largest city in Gernon, and fell into the life of a gambling, drinking, bomb making student.

Scientarian Revolution
When the Scientarian Revolution hit, many would have expected Trigwocket to support the movement like his fellow alchemists almost universally did. But Trigwocket was a gnomish nationalist, and thought the egalitarian and global conquest message of the Scientarians would be antithetical to his goals of a gnomish state. He was also friends with many in the magical community, and was morally opposed to the kinds of summary executions and penal slavery the Scientarians employed. He left Kurosekai along with many of his friends when Alek Tellumnar took over the central district of Kurosekai, and ended up involve in the quest to destroy the Ancient Horrors. He was present for the assassination of the last archmage of the Institute of Magical Learning in Belleza, before escaping to Nuhaven to avoid arrest by one faction or another.
