Appearance
• Physical: A short, stocky fey with skin the color of a ripe peach and ears that twitch when he's excited. He has a magnificent mustache that he waxes into elaborate shapes, currently a spiral on each side. • Clothing: Wears a coat of many colors—literally, it changes hue based on his mood—and a top hat that produces confetti when doffed. • Distinguishing Marks: His smile is slightly too wide, showing just a few too many teeth. It's unclear if this is natural or if he's had work done.

Backstory
Pucklestick was a minor fey who stumbled into a mortal celebration three centuries ago and fell in love with the joy he found there. He decided to create a party that would never end, drawing revelers from across the planes. The Endless Revel has been going ever since, and Pucklestick has been its master of ceremonies for three hundred years without a break.
Daily Life
He organizes events, mediates disputes between revelers, ensures the food and drink never run out, and keeps the music playing. He hasn't slept in three centuries—literally, he can't, the party would stop. He's beginning to show cracks, but he won't admit it.
Secret
The Revel is powered by the life force of its participants. Everyone who parties there is slowly aging—they just don't notice because they're having too much fun. Pucklestick knows, and he's terrified, but stopping the party would kill everyone who's been there too long.
Story Hooks
- 1 Someone important to the PCs has been at the Revel for too long and is aging rapidly—Pucklestick needs help finding a way to free them without killing them
- 2 The party is beginning to collapse, and Pucklestick needs help keeping it going long enough to safely extract the long-term revelers
Narrative Value
Comic relief with tragic undertones, source of fey celebrations, quest giver, warning about the cost of eternal pleasure ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
