Kettle Dweller

"'Excuse me,' a voice called out, 'would you mind horribly

not swinging that thing around so wildly?' It was a high

born voice, and it gave Omatta pause. She glanced about

her, tense, sword at the ready, but could see no one.

"'Over here, ma'am,' the voice came again, 'On the table.'

As she approached, Omatta scanned the area before her, ready for any surprise. Little of interest caught her eye.

Suddenly, among the cookware and crockery, an ornate

tea pot rattled, and a tendril of dark brown liquid extended from the spout. 'Excuse me, dear. I'm afraid they put me down wrong way up, and I'm a touch stuck.'"

--Excerpt from The Dragon's Tooth by Fabian Cooper.

Earl Grey, Hot

A kettle dweller is born to serve, and is often happy to do so. They are servants created by wizards to be loyal, forthcoming, and able of stimulating conversation. Often, a kettle dweller will spend its free time reading up on the latest literature, so as to be better able to speak with its master.

Capable of creating almost any tea imaginable, a kettle dweller is a most valuable companion for any scholar. The unique sentience of these creatures also means they tend to develop personalities and ideas of their own. Many world-renowned scientists, mathematicians and philosophers attribute their greatest ideas to a late-night conversation with their teapot.

Crockery Hermits

Kettle dwellers, also sometimes called kettle hermits, are often firecely proud of their teapot. The creature itself is only the elemental inside the pot, which will occasionally move from one teapot to another. In their minds, a slight upon their teapot is not only an insult to them, but an insult to their home.

When a kettle dweller does move teapots, it often does so in private, away from prying eyes. This is not out of fear, but out of shame, for a dweller without a kettle is no dweller indeed!

Sage Persona

The personality of a kettle dweller is usually dictated by its master when it is first created. After that, it gains sentience and spends much time mulling over its existence and purpose. As it ages, meets new people, and grows attached to its master, its personality often changes subtly.

A kettle dweller in the company of a great sage or priest learns much of the world, and as it contemplates these things, it too becomes wise. To a young upstart, an aged kettle dweller may provide useful insight and advice, often over a hot cup of tea.

Elemental Nature

The kettle dweller does not require air, food, drink, or sleep. It does, however require water to replenish what it provides as tea.
