The Little Lord Thorncobble
Theolonius Thorncobble, known by his Halfling brethren as the Little Lord Thorncobble is one of the more notable members of the Clan Thorncobble, one of the noblest of the Halfling bloodlines.[1a]
History[]
Thelonius’s earliest memories are of being swaddled in green velvet when he was taken to the Imperial Court at the Imperial Palace in Altdorf. Nowhere else does he feel as in his element as when hob-nobbing with the Reikland’s great, good and glamorous, far from the stench of poverty, ordure, and Brambledowns. Nowadays, he visits court, accompanying one or more of his mothers (he has at least a bakers’ dozen) as often as he is able. A social gadfly, he enthusiastically attends parties, salons, and dinners, the better to mingle with his peers. He may be encountered at the Imperial Palace, or in the home of any of Altdorf ’s noble families. Thelonius speaks with a rigidly precise, upper-class Reiklander accent, with a tone of sneering disdain. When in the presence of his inferiors (anyone without noble blood) he is stiff-lipped and straight-backed, drawing himself up to his full height of 3’6” in a vain effort to appear imposing.[1a]
