Oh, you haven't heard of Scanlan Shorthalt? Well, gird your loins, ladies, because he has his eye on you. A talented musician, master of disguise, and dashingly handsome in his own mind, Scanlan sings songs almost as much as he sings his own praises.

A loner much of his life, Scanlan has never quite come to terms with the violent death of his mother at the hands of a goblin invasion.

Deep down Scanlan yearns for the one thing he's never known: the true love of a fellow gnome.
