Lorne Smallbriar

A halfling bard and friend to Celomir. Lorne's body was found savaged in front of the Haggling Drunkard. He had been murdered by someone with a sharp blade.

Signet Ring
When the body was taken away by the Villben red cloaks, Dureyl noticed something fall from the body and into a puddle. The object turned out to be a signet ring, perhaps a family heirloom of the Smallbriar family. When interrogated about the family, Celomir revealed that Lorne's sister supposedly lives in Gurst.
