Nomius

Nomius is a half-elf wizard and chef who is now the chef at the Three-Legged Mare in Oakenrest Keep.

Nomius was originally the head chef for a lord in one of the major cities of the empire. At some point there was a problem which resulted in no food being served at a major dinner being held by the lord. Following this the lord dismissed Nomius from his service and ensured he was known as bad chef among the nobility of the empire.

Nomius vowed to prove the lord wrong and earn the reputation as the greatest chef in the empire. To this end Nomius dedicated all his time to improving his skills and recipes. One way he did this was by expanding his knowledge of magic. Nomius had always used some simple magic in his cooking but now he planned to use more powerful spells in his cooking techniques as well as to gather more rare and exotic ingredients for his recipes.

Nomius trained and worked in a few of the larger towns and cities of the empire but was always followed by his reputation so he decided to move to a remote town where no one had ever heard of him. The town he chose was Farshire where he quickly became the chef at the Scary Wilderbeast. Nomius also enlisted the aid of the local wizard FizzleMandius who taught him more advanced magic such as invisibility and teleportation circle. Nomius created a secret lab attached to the cellar of the Scary Wilderbeast where he could experiment with both his magic and new recipes.

Despite his growing magical power Nomius knew that he would need far more if he was to attain his goal of becoming the greatest chef in the empire. To this end he started to seek out powerful magical items that he could use to increase his powers and abilities.

The first magical object which Nomius learned of was the foundation stone of Oakenrest Keep. Nomius secretly stole the stone one night and took it to his secret lab under the Scary Wilderbeast. Unfortunately Nomius was quickly tracked down by a party of adventurers from Oakenrest. The party convinced Nomius to return the stone and to move to Oakenrest Keep to become the chef at the Three-Legged Mare.

Nomius has shown an attraction towards Tamezira after she seduced to gain his trust while recovering the foundation stone of Oakenrest Keep.
