Wendeline Copperkettle has kept the Gilded Tankard, Brightloch's only tavern, through forty winters and one very bad summer. She is a rock gnome of about four feet and considerable gravity, and she stands on a milk crate behind the bar so she can look a drinker level in the eye while she cuts him off.
