Nib Glasswick - Glassblower of Lyreleaf
No potion or salve leaves Lyreleaf without passing through Nib Glasswick's kiln first -- the gnome glassblower whose vials and bottles quietly keep the village's famous alchemy intact all the way to market.
Introduction
Every salve Lyreleaf bottles, every tincture that leaves its alchemical gardens intact enough to matter three days later on a caravan road, passes through the same cramped, sweltering workshop behind the commons before it ever reaches a customer. The gnome who runs it rarely gets thanked by name. The herbalists get the praise for what's inside the bottle. Nib Glasswick just makes sure there's a bottle at all.

"A potion's only as good as what holds it together long enough to matter."
Appearance: Nib is a wiry, sharp-eyed gnome with singed eyebrows that never quite grow back evenly and forearms crisscrossed with the pale scars of a thousand small burns and glass nicks. He wears a heavy leather apron over rolled sleeves, a pair of thick-lensed spectacles pushed up on his forehead more often than over his eyes, and keeps a long blowpipe balanced across one shoulder even when he isn't actively working. Soot smudges his cheeks by midday without fail, and his hands, when still, have the faint permanent tremor of someone who has spent decades working right at the edge of a kiln's heat.
