Kleiburn

Kleiburn the Traveller

Kleiburn is a mysterious and immensely powerful figure whose first recorded visit to Sable occurred over 260 years ago. He appears without warning every few years or decades, offering rare and powerful items in legendary auctions. His presence commands immediate respect: even Kings, Emperors, and Rajah's show deference to him, and Gods seem to conspicuously ignore him.

He is known for brewing extraordinary wines, collecting rare cheeses, and valuing powerful artifacts and unique curiosities. His small wagon is vastly larger inside than it appears, filled with opulence and mystery. He hires local guards wherever he travels - fierce, loyal, and unquestioning - both to protect himself and support the local economy.

Kleiburn is not to be defied. His auctions are not contests of ego or power. Those who approach him with arrogance or hostility always lose — not because staff want it, but because the world demands it. His purpose is to be outwitted, not outmuscled. He rewards cleverness, imagination, and those who engage with respect and creativity.

When Kleiburn visits, he typically chooses the merchant stalls of whichever Kingdom is dominant between Sable and Thrace.

Auction

The auction event grew over time from a 1 day event of a couple hours, to a 2-3 day event spanning ~20 hours. When it got that huge and unwieldy, it lost a lot of its excitement and drama. In 2025 we separated the live auction part back to a single short event, and moved the majority of his wares to 2 online shops with unlimited quantity.

Unlimited Shop

In an effort to simplify Kleiburn Auction shopping and shorten the live part of the event to just the big, exciting items, the majority of his stock was moved to the web and made available in unlimited quantities to players.

Trivia

• During a visit around the year 527, three of his guards were injured in combat with an auction thief. Their names were Sir Halric Vorn, Brandel "Ironsides" Marr, and Darnic Fell. Halric and his wife, Lady Evelyne Vorn, recently had triplets: Alira Vorn, Brynna Vorn, and Cedrine Vorn. Halric is a Sergeant in the Sable City Defense Militia.
