Pact of the Beard

Skylord Aleksander, the ancient artificer, has concocted a new creation! A potion of everlasting beard growth! it imbues whoever takes the potion with arcane powers, along with a kickass beard. As long as the user continues to take steady doses of the elixir, their beard will continue to grow as well as the magical powers gained from it! 

Aleksander seams almost unaware that he has become a patron to these bearded followers, and thinks that they are just rabid fans of his work. He maintains an almost customer/ seller relationship with them. Only requiring payment in gold, or at times particular obscure arcane knowledge, in exchange for his services. Users must continue to purchase the elixir to retain their powers, thankfully the crafty artificer gives his customers a line of contact, as well as a means to transfer items between each other. Mainly the elixir for gold or research notes. However he can provide other services of an artificer, however those services will come at a cost.
