Description
(Major NPC from the Dragonlance Saga)
When first encountered in Thorbardin by the Infellows Berem had a long, white beard and long, dirty hair. But beneath the whiskers was concealed the face of a middle-aged man. Embedded in Berem's chest, hidden by his beard, is a dull gray stone the size of a fist. This mysterious stone gives him his great recuperative powers and makes him immortal. Berem is nearly 400 years old but has been imprisoned away from the world for so long that he has forgotten how to speak. Only slowly has his speech returned. Berem serves a larger purpose in the great scheme of things, but what that may be remains a mystery.
When encountered later in DL12 he has shaved his scraggly beard and now appears younger, though weathered. There is a 1 in 10 chance that any PC that encountered him earlier in DL4, may notice something familiar about the man. He speaks little and attempts to avoid others. Berem is a hunted man and only seeks to remain free and unnoticed. He is both fearful of and fascinated by the Dragon Highlords. He is aware of his inability to die, but will not reveal this to others. He faces his trials with the sullenness of a martyr. The threat of capture by a Dragon Highlord or other members of the dragon armies will send him into a frenzy.
Embedded in Berem's chest is a dull gray fist-sized gem. This mysterious gem cannot be removed and makes him immortal. When the gem is healing him, it glows green. The Dark Queen wants this gem and her people are searching for the man who has it.
