Hesper Stallwright - Coordinator of the Makers' Market
Meet Hesper Stallwright, the halfling coordinator whose ledger and whistle keep the Artisans' Ward's Makers' Market running fair and orderly -- a brisk, warm NPC for market disputes and everyday Brightcrown business.
"Every stall's got its place, same as every crafter's got their moment. My whole job is just making sure nobody's standing in somebody else's light."
Before dawn on a Makers' Market day, while most of the Artisans' Ward is still asleep, a halfling with a clipboard and a very loud whistle is already out among the canvas awnings, measuring stall widths and settling arguments that haven't even started yet. By the time the crowds arrive, nobody remembers it was ever anything but effortless — which is exactly how Hesper Stallwright likes it.

Appearance: Hesper is compact and brisk, with quick dark eyes that seem to be tallying something even at rest. Her curly hair is kept short and practical, tucked under a wide-brimmed market-warden's cap that marks her authority at a glance. She wears a sturdy, many-pocketed coat over sensible boots built for a full day on her feet, and a battered wax-sealed ledger is never far from her hand. A brass whistle on a cord around her neck has, by Ward reputation, ended more shouting matches than any city guard.
