Notes 

•  Across all instances, Marie Glassmaker is a gnome alchemist and a member of the Glassmaker Clan out of the flying city of Serraine. She is a citizen of the inventors, alchemists, lapidaries, magic-users of the gnome, goblin, and gremlin stock who live on the flying city as it makes its tour across the Known World and beyond. She also maintains a small house in the Five Shires town of Deepmoss, typically for the summer, or when she is tired of seeing clouds.
• As an alchemist, most of her abilities and spells involve her using the beaker, flask, and phial as a catalyst for her powers.
• Briefly dated Lamech Porterphase before breaking up as the two joined up with two different adventuring companies flying back down to the mainland and neither were interested in a long distance relationship.
